解析试题分析：
【小题1】这个句子中含有一个宾语从句，虽然主句的时态是一般过去时，但是从句的内容是一个真理，所以从句仍然要用一般现在时
【小题2】There is no such thing as a free lunch.是句谚语，意思是天下没有免费的午餐
【小题3】应该用形容词来修饰名词“look”
【小题4】这里表示“一旦她下定决心”，故用once
【小题5】根据时间状语“tomorrow morning”，可知应该用一般将来时
【小题6】这个句子中含有一个宾语从句，因为主句的时态是一般过去时，故从句要用相应的过去时态
【小题7】at an end是固定用法，意思是结束
【小题8】形容词作表语，且表示没用的意思，故用useless
【小题9】这是一个强调句，故用that
【小题10】play a part in是固定用法，意思是起作用
