【解析】

1.1】句意：他救了一個感到恐懼的男孩。這里應用terrify 的過去分詞形式作定語，修飾boy。terrified害怕的，故填terrified。

2.2】an elegantly dressed nobleman“一個穿著優(yōu)雅的貴族”， elegantly元音開頭，所以填An。

3.3】as作介詞的時候“作為，一---的身份”的意思。此處表示“介紹他自己是被救男孩的父親”。故填as。

4.4】名詞前應用形容詞修飾，上文提到這個貴族是獲救的小男孩的父親，所以要用形容詞性物主代詞my。

5.5】考查現在分詞作伴隨狀語的用法。wave off意為“謝絕，拒絕”，表主動，用waving。

6.6】需用副詞修飾動詞，故把形容詞proud變成副詞proudly。

7.7】if引導的條件狀語從句，“如果”，句意：如果這個男孩和他的父親一樣，他會成長為一個你值得驕傲的男人。故填If。

8.8】graduated from是固定搭配，意為“從---畢業(yè)”，所以填from。

9.9】and連接兩個謂語動詞，時態(tài)應保持一致，前面用的是graduated ，則此處應用went。

10.10】be stricken by意思是“患上（�。�”，固定短語，所以填by。

考點：考查語法填空。
