【解析】本文為夾敘夾議文。文章主要講述了作者作為一個項(xiàng)目的評估專家去拜訪一位貧困山區(qū)的教師的故事。開始一路上的窮困景象讓作者很沮喪，但后來這位教師以及她的學(xué)生們的熱情和樂觀使作者深受感動且印象深刻。通過這個故事告訴我們，不管我們在哪里，都可以實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的夢想，取得成就。

【1】考查狀語從句。句意：在你被播種的地方開花。根據(jù)句意及句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析可知，此處應(yīng)為地點(diǎn)狀語從句。故填where。

【2】考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)化。句意：這個工作的職責(zé)是隨機(jī)參觀項(xiàng)目中每個老師的教室。根據(jù)句意及句子成分分析可知，此處應(yīng)使用名詞“職責(zé)”，單復(fù)數(shù)形式都可以，作主語。故填responsibility/responsibilities。

【3】考查定語從句。此處為定語從句，先行詞the one指代Dorothy（一名老師），連詞在從句中作主語。故填 who。

【4】考查非謂語動詞。wind around“纏繞，卷繞在……上”，此處與a road為邏輯主謂關(guān)系，應(yīng)使用-ing分詞作定語。故填winding。

【5】考查非謂語動詞。此處為介詞of的賓語，意為“被同一列火車撞上的可能”。故填being caught。

【6】考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)化。分析句意及句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處指“給了我最大的無望感”，應(yīng)使用“無望”的名詞形式。故填hopelessness。

【7】考查動詞時態(tài)。根據(jù)語境可知，此處指“孩子們已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備展示……”，應(yīng)使用過去完成時。故填had prepared。

【8】考查形容詞最高級。根據(jù)語境可知，此處指“最新的項(xiàng)目”。故填latest。

【9】考查連詞。分析句意及句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處為讓步狀語從句，且使用了倒裝句式。as引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句時，句子必須是倒裝句。故填as。

【10】考查副詞。此處修飾動詞passed，應(yīng)使用副詞形式。故填excellently。
