9.went

10.by

【解析】

1.1】句意：他救了一个感到恐惧的男孩。这里应用terrify 的过去分词形式作定语，修饰boy。terrified害怕的，故填terrified。

2.2】an elegantly dressed nobleman“一个穿着优雅的贵族”， elegantly元音开头，所以填An。

3.3】as作介词的时候“作为，一---的身份”的意思。此处表示“介绍他自己是被救男孩的父亲”。故填as。

4.4】名词前应用形容词修饰，上文提到这个贵族是获救的小男孩的父亲，所以要用形容词性物主代词my。

5.5】考查现在分词作伴随状语的用法。wave off意为“谢绝，拒绝”，表主动，用waving。

6.6】需用副词修饰动词，故把形容词proud变成副词proudly。

7.7】if引导的条件状语从句，“如果”，句意：如果这个男孩和他的父亲一样，他会成长为一个你值得骄傲的男人。故填If。

8.8】graduated from是固定搭配，意为“从---毕业”，所以填from。

9.9】and连接两个谓语动词，时态应保持一致，前面用的是graduated ，则此处应用went。

10.10】be stricken by意思是“患上（病）”，固定短语，所以填by。

考点：考查语法填空。
