Answer 1

1.feeling

2.failures

3.alive

4.times

5.over

6.embarrassed

7.contrary

8.alone

9.seeing

10.though

【解析】

1.feeling

【试题解析】动词start后面可以接动名词doing也可以接不定式to do；意义是一样的，都表示“开始做某事”；本题只有一个横线，所以使用feeling。

2.2】failures

【试题解析】名词failures，因为前面有my修饰，说明使用名词，而且前面还有all，说明后面使用可数名词复数形式failures指多次失败的经历。

3.3】alive

【试题解析】形容词alive表示活着的，与动名词being一起连用在句中做主语。句义：活着是值得的。

4.4】 times

【试题解析】固定搭配at times有时候；句义：我的消极思维也不是一直都持续的。有时候会消失，有时候又会回来。

5.5】 over

【试题解析】固定搭配get over克服；本句是一个强调句型：正是我的父母亲和朋友帮助我克服了我的消极情绪。

6.6】embarrassed

【试题解析】句义：开始的时候，当我压抑的时候，要告诉别人我感觉很尴尬。过去分词转换的形容词embarrassed通常修饰人或者与人有关的事物。

7.7】contrary

【试题解析】固定搭配on the contrary恰恰相反，句义：但是后来当我告诉朋友我的感觉的时候，他们没有嘲笑我，相反他们支持并鼓励我。上下文之间存在这转折关系，所以使用on the contrary恰恰相反表示转折。

8.8】alone

【试题解析】副词alone单独，独自；没有人能够单独面对压抑，如果你感觉压抑，要找一个人来倾述你的内心想法。

9.9】seeing

【试题解析】动词consider有两层意思“快乐”或者“认为”；构成consider doing sth考虑做某事；如果情况变得糟糕，可以考虑找医生或者心理医生，以寻求帮助。

10.0】though

【试题解析】句义：实际上，尽管压抑影响着世界上很多人，治疗仍然存在也能够给他们的生活带来希望和快乐。
