试题分析：
小题1:这里表示最终我的耐心没有了，且and之前的句子用的是一般过去时，故and之后也要用一般过去时，故用gave out。
小题2:这里表示他别无选择，只能屈服；but作“除……以外”解时，若前面没有实意动词，后面要多带一个“to”，所以填to give in。
小题3:这里表示与工程学有关的职业，is concerned with是固定用法，意思是相关。
小题4:句意，他的母亲生于一个非常贫穷的家庭，在他的母亲的影响下，这个男孩也养成了节俭的习惯。
小题5:句意，当这位老师教学生怎样写正规的信件时，他强调了写信的规矩，故用put stress on。
小题6:这里想表达结束了洪水的危险，且分词的动作和其逻辑主语之间是主动关系，故用现在分词作结果状语。
小题7:这里想表达中国的许多地方政府都减少会议的花费，根据时间状语“Since Chairman Xi Jinpin came to power,”可知，需要使用现在完成时。
小题8:表示“始于......时候”，Dating from是固定用法。
小题9:这里表示如果你偶然遇到一个妖怪，根据“would you feel so frightened as to freeze”，故用一般过去时。
小题10:这是一个强调句，强调了句子主语“poor air quality”，这里想说，就是很差的空气质量导致了越来越多的人生病，故用contributes to。
