【解析】试题分析：本文作者是一名中国日报记者，讲述了他的一段所见所闻。一个烫伤严重的男孩，神经收到严重伤害，父母在外地工作，而亲戚又不愿意照顾他，他只好自己做饭。因此作者非常想问男孩的父母：如果你的儿子死了，你的钱还有用吗？

【1】考查冠词。experience“经历”是可数名词，unforgettable是以元音因素开头的单词，故填an。

【2】考查动词。be about to do sth.when…“正在做某事，这时候……”是固定句型，故填to leave。

【3】考查动词。句意：在人民医院工作的姐姐告诉我……。“work”作定语，修饰sister，sister与work之间是主动关系，用现在分词作定语表示主动关系。故填working。

【4】考查副词。副词修饰过去分词burnt作状语。故填terribly。

【5】考查宾语从句。句意：我匆忙去了医院问周围的人发生了什么。what引导宾语从句，从句中作主语、宾语或者表语，意思是“什么”。故填what。

【6】考查名词。句意：他的亲戚没有一个园艺照顾他。relative“亲戚”是可数名词，结合语境用复数。故填relatives。

【7】考查动词。句意：只有在节日的时候，他的父母才回家。Only on festival置句首，主句用部分倒装，助动词would后接动词原形，故填return。

【8】考查代词。句意：在那种情况下，这个男孩每天自己做饭。by oneself“独自地”是固定短语，主语the boy的反身代词用himself。故填himself。

【9】考查定语从句。“___9___skin was swollen”是定语从句，现行词是the poor boy，指人，从句中作定语用关系代词whose。故填whose。

【10】考查动词。句意：他的医生告诉我他的神经被损害，现在处于昏迷中。damage是谓语动词，与主语his nerves是被动关系，用被动语态；根据语境可知，此处表示过去发生事情用一般过去时，表示说话之前去发生的事情表示“过去的过去”，用过去完成时。故填were damaged/had been damaged。

【名师定睛】

不定冠词a和an的用法：

a用在以元音因素开头的词汇前，表示“一”；an用在以辅音开头的词前，表示“一”。例如，university这个词是以辅音因素开头的单词，所以前面加a，表示“一所大学”；an important meeting“一个重要的会议”，an honest boy“一个诚实的男孩”；an old man“一位老人”；an hour“一个小时”；an American lawyer“一个美国的律师”；a useful tool“一个有用的工具”；a European friend“一位欧洲的朋友”。如小题1，表示“一次难忘的经历”，unforgettable以元音开头，表示泛指。故填an。
