【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇人物传记类记叙文，介绍了作者感恩曼德拉对他的帮助。出身贫寒，只上两年学就被迫离校。好不容易找了份工作，却因为没有证件面临失业。曼德拉帮助他渡过难关，所以一听说曼德拉成立了非洲青年联盟他就立刻参加了。

1.when 考查关系副词。先行词是time，从句中不缺少成分，Nelson Mandela 是met的宾语。只能增加一个状语，用when来充当时间状语，引导定语从句，填when。

2. 考查冠词。firm做“公司”讲时是可数名词，这里表泛指，填a 。

3.school 考查名词。后文提到the shool fees，可判断这里指上学，填school。

4.because 考查连词。前后句的关系是因果关系，填because。

5. 考查动词。pay可以做及物动词，后面接名词。这里指付费。填pay。

6.or考查连词词。在否定句中并列连词用or，填or。

7.Sadly考查副词。修饰整个句子，做状语用副词形式，故填Sadly。

8.about 考查介词词。be worried about担心某人某事，固定搭配。填about。

9.

10.how考查疑问词。宾语从句中，关系副词how修饰形容词，填how。

考点：考查语法填空
