【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了伟大的天文学家哥白尼坚持科学真相，勇敢打破旧观点的故事。

【1】studied 考查时态。本文通篇都使用一般过去时，叙述哥白尼的故事，所以本句也应该使用一般过去时。

【2】when 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是a time，后面定语从句的句子结构很完整，所以使用关系副词when引导这个定语从句，并在句中充当状语。

【3】the 考查定冠词。名词universe宇宙，一直要和定冠词the连用表示特指。

【4】observations 考查名词。介词of的后面通常要接名词或者动名词，在横线的后面有名词短语mathematical calculations说明and前面也应该是名词，所以使用了动词observe的名词observations。

【5】was spinning 考查时态。本句中的suggest表示“说明”，后面从句要使用陈述语气。句意：他说当地球绕着太阳的时候，地球也在旋转。故使用过去进行时。

【6】him 考查代词。句意：他的朋友们很热情，鼓励他把这个观点发表出来。根据上下文可知正是哥白尼发现了这个理论，所以他的朋友鼓励他发表这个观点。所以使用代词him充当动词encourage的宾语。

【7】to be attacked 考查语态。动词短语want to do sth想要做某事；句意：他不想被基督教派攻击。根据句意可知使用被动语态。

【8】forward 考查固定短语。短语put forward提出。句意：终于在1543年，他奄奄一息的时候，他提出了太阳而不是地球才是太阳系的中心。

【9】scientific 考查形容词。本会后面有名词truth，说明应该使用形容词充当定语修饰名词。句意：哥白尼给我们树立了一个很好的榜样，坚持科学真相，勇敢打破旧观点。

【10】from 考查固定短语。短语break away from打破…；句意：句意：哥白尼给我们树立了一个很好的榜样，坚持科学真相，勇敢打破旧观点。
