【解析】

本题考查完成句子，注意时态语态和非谓语动词的使用。

【1】句意：一心想成为钢琴家，他每天弹八个小时的钢琴。be bent on表示“一心想要、专心于”，此处去掉be作状语，故填Bent on。

【2】句意：许多律师建议立即改革社会保障制度。system与reform之间是被动关系，propose后的宾语从句要用（should）do的虚拟语气，故填（should）be reformed。

【3】句意：据称，报道此案的记者受到了虐待和威胁。be said to do表示“据说……”，journalists与abuse之间是被动关系，而且be abused发生在were said之前，所以用不定式的被动完成式，故填to have been abused。

【4】句意：那位著名的演员指控报纸歪曲事实。accuse sb of doing表示“以……控告某人”，故填twisting。

【5】句意：Andrew忍不住向朋友们炫耀他的新品牌运动鞋。resist后接动名词作宾语，故填showing off。

【6】句意：那个年轻人因在公共场所随地吐痰而被罚款。作介词for的宾语用动名词，故填spitting。

【7】句意：那个老太太在地震后尽力保持清醒，直到士兵们来救她。come to one’s rescue表示“营救某人”，tried表明用一般过去时，故填came to her rescue。

【8】句意：当警察进屋时，这些不法分子正密谋抢银行。此处表示过去正在进行的动作，应该用过去进行时，故填were plotting。

【9】句意：好消息是，经过多年的分离，母亲和孩子终于团聚了。be reunited with表示“与……团聚”，was表明用一般过去时，故填were reunited。

【10】句意：许多学生努力学习只是为了不辜负父母的期望。根据句意可知此处表示目的，用不定式作目的状语，故填to live up to。

注意在表示坚持、建议、要求、命令等词后的宾语从句中，要用（should）do的虚拟语气，其中should可以省略，常见的这类词有：insist, order, require, demand, advise, propose, suggest, command等。
