Answer 1

【小题1】is
【小题2】as
【小题3】determined
【小题4】Once
【小题5】will leave/are leaving
【小题6】had destroyed/ destroyed
【小题7】an
【小题8】useless
【小题9】that
【小题10】in

解析【小题1】考查宾语从句的时态。当宾语从句指的是客观真理或事实时，用一般现在时。“失败是成功之母”是客观真理。故填is。
【小题2】考查固定搭配。such...as...“如此的......”。故填as。
【小题3】考查形容词作定语。修饰人时，用以ed结尾的形容词；修饰物时，用以ing结尾的形容词。这里的look“表情”，指人，故填determined。
【小题4】考查条件状语从句。once“一旦”，一旦条件状语从句。故填Once。
【小题5】考查时态。根据tomorrow morning可知，用一般将来时。Leave, go, come, move等可以用进行时表示将来。故填will leave/are leaving。
【小题6】考查时态。宾语从句的时态要与主句一致，主句用的是过去时，从句用相应的过去时态。故填had destroyed/ destroyed。
【小题7】考查固定短语。at an end“结束”。故填an。
【小题8】考查形容词。根据but可知，表示转折的含义，useless“无用的”。故填useless。
【小题9】考查强调句型。It is...that...“正是......”，是强调句型，去掉后不影响句意。这里强调的是the curtain，句意“窗帘上布满了灰尘”。故填that。
【小题10】考查固定句型。play a part/role in...“在......中扮演角色”。故填in。
