小题4:particularly
小题5:apparent
小题6:sympathy
小题7:reputation
小题8:preserving
小题9:expanded
小题10:tended
题目分析：
小题1:因为句子时态是一般过去时，所以用过去式lacked意思“缺乏”
小题2:and连接两个并列结构，urged是一般过去式，所以前面用一般过去式approved意思“赞成”
小题3:固定句型be vital to sth意思“对……至关重要”
小题4:后面有形容词sad，副词修饰形容词，所以用副词形式particularly
小题5:固定词组be apparent to sth意思“对……显而易见的”，
小题6:因为前面有形容词deep，形容词修饰名词，所以用名词形式sympathy意思“同情”
小题7:因为前面有物主代词my，物主代词修饰名词，所以后面用名词形式reputation意思“名声”
小题8:前面有名词time capsule，动名词做名词的后置定语，所以用动名词preserving意思“保存”
小题9:由后面的句子she asked more and more questions可以知道是一般过去时，所以用过去式形式expanded意思“扩大”
小题10:由时间状语At that time，可以知道是一般过去时，所以用过去式形式tended意思“倾向于”
点评：注意时态，看时间状语或者句子里原有时态，来决定该用什么时态；单复数，当主语是第三人称单数时，谓语动词加s或es；和一些固定搭配，要靠平时多积累；要正使用单词形式，形容词修饰名词，副词修饰动词。
