【解析】

本文主要讲述了本和家人经历一次暴风雨的前后过程。

【1】

句意：乌云使天空变得很暗。

根据句中were可知主语为复数，所以用cloud的复数形式clouds，故填clouds。

【2】

句意：外面没有灯光，感觉像是午夜。

根据句意可知外面很黑，看起来就像是午夜，feel like意为“像是……，有……的感觉”，为固定搭配，故填like。

【3】

句意：当他的妈妈正在确认手电筒和收音机正常工作时，本的爸爸正在窗户上钉木片。

横线前后为两个独立的句子，所以横线处要用连词，根据句意可知横线处为当……的时候，while意为“当……的时候”作连词，引导时间状语，故填while。

【4】

句意：当雨开始猛烈地打在窗户上时，本正在帮他的妈妈做晚餐。

根据句意可知横线处缺少形容词，提示词为he，所以用形容词性物主代词his，故填his。

【5】

句意：当雨开始猛烈地打在窗户上时，本正在帮他的妈妈做晚餐。

根据句意可知横线处缺少副词，其用来修饰动词beat，提示词为heavy，所以应该用其副词形式heavily，故填heavily。

【6】

句意：当风在3:00渐渐减弱时，他终于睡着了。

根据句意可知句子时态为一般过去时，所以用fall的过去式fell，fall asleep意为“入睡，睡着”，为固定短语，故填fell。

【7】

句意：当他醒来时，太阳升起来了。

根据句意可知应该是太阳正在升起，rise意为“升高，升起”，又根据句中was可知应该用rise的现在分词rising，表示某一动作正在进行，故填rising。

【8】

句意：他和家人一起出去，发现附近一片狼藉。

in a mess意为“乱糟糟，一团糟”，为介词短语，故填a。

【9】

句意：倒下的树，破碎的窗户和垃圾到处都是。

根据句意可知横线处缺少形容词，提示词为break，所以用其形容词形式broken，broken意为“破碎的，残破的”，故填broken。

【10】

句意：尽管暴风雨拆散了很多东西，但是它拉近了家庭和邻居的距离。

although意为“虽然，尽管”，在句中作连词引导从句，故填although。
