【解析】

这是一则讨论对新型冠状病毒流行的恐惧，以及对政府采取的措施的一些个人看法和观点的情景对话。

【1】句意：我听说在英国，人们需要待在家因为COVID-19的快速传播。

根据句意表示COVID-19的快速传播，句子成分分析，空格处缺少名词，表示传播。故答案填spread。

【2】句意：在我待在家里的头2个礼拜期间，我每天不能停止看手机去关注它的发展。

根据句意表示不能停止做……，短语be unable to do sth.不能做……。故答案填unable。

【3】句意：看到感染和死亡人数的急速增长。

联系下文“I feared that the virus might make me sick.”我很怕这个病毒会让我生病，可知，是急速增长，此处要有形容词修饰其后名词numbers，副词rapidly修饰该形容词。故答案填increasing。

【4】句意：你确实得到了信息。

联系下文“And every day there is tons of the information,”每天有大量的信息。可知，是信息的意思。故答案填information。

【5】句意：记住你不是不正常的。

联系下文“These are normal feelings at this time.”这个时候有这种感觉是正常的，说明你不是不正常的。故答案填abnormal。

【8】句意：我认为你们国家的经历可以给我们一个教训。

根据句意表示经验，experience经验，不可数名词。故答案填experience。

【9】句意：我知道不出门意味着失去自由。

根据句意表示阻止出门，固定搭配prevent sb. from doing sth.阻止某人做某事；人们被阻止出门，被动语态，动词用过去分词形式。故答案填prevented。

【10】句意：这就是最大的差异——我们西方人认为口罩是给病人用的，而不是给健康的人用的。

根据句意表示最大的差异，大的big；the定冠词后用最高级。故答案填biggest。
