【解析】试题分析：通过本文考查了学生对一些英语语法的理解和应用。如固定搭配，形容词副词的区别，名词的用法等。

【1】designing 考查动名词。介词about后需用动名词。

【2】unfortunately 考查副词。这里需用副词修饰整个句子。句意：不幸的是，在他二十多岁的时候，他患了一种无法治愈的病。

【3】from 考查短语。suffer from表示“遭受…的痛苦”，为固定搭配。

【4】which 考查关系代词。这里要用which引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面一句话的内容。

【5】and 考查连词。这里的意思是他不仅积极的对待不幸，而且还克服了所有的障碍，所以这里是顺承关系。

【6】absorbed 考查动词。be absorbed in表示“专心于，全神贯注于”，为固定表达。

【7】in 考查介词。in which引导定语从句，意思上相当于“in the book”，所以这里需填介词in。

【8】that 考查连接词。这里需要用that引导同位语从句，解释说明idea的内容。

【9】an 考查固定搭配。have an end表示“终结”，为固定短语。

【10】contributions 考查名词。make contributions做贡献，为固定短语，所以这里需用名词。
