答案
一、用所给词的正确形式填空
1.will be解析：句末明显的时间标志，next year，应该用一般将来时，will+动词原形。
2.has collected解析：这是现在完成时很经典的句子，由since引导时间状语或是时间状语从句。更常考的是，since加过去时的'句子，主句用现在完成时的情况，比如说：He has lived China for 4 years sice he moved here in 2005.
3.helps解析：本题有标志词always，用一般现在是，要注意主语是第三人称单数，动词要用单三形式。
4.playing解析：would yomind+doing sth，动词的这类用法需要不断积累和归纳。
5.was dancing解析：本题中的状语从句由while引导，强调的是同时性，应该用进行时，由于主句中用了过去时态，后文应对应的使用过去进行时。
6.to be解析：固定用法，seem to，好像-后面直接跟动词原形。
7.clean解析：本题考查使役动词make的用法，make sb do sth。更有难度一点的题应该是考查使役动词的被动态，应该是be made to do sth.
