解析

【分析】
本题为记叙文类短文填空,需结合语境、语法规则及固定搭配确定单词的正确形式。解题思路:先通读全文把握主旨(耄耋老人苦学英语并成为线上英语老师的故事),再逐个分析空格:1. 冠词后需名词;2. 第三人称单数主语配一般现在时动词;3. 固定短语搭配;4. spend的固定用法;5. try的固定搭配;6. 修饰动词用副词;7. 一般过去时动词变形;8. 自学的固定表达;9. 过去时间状语对应过去式;10. 修饰不定代词用形容词。
【解析】
1. 空格前有不定冠词a,需填名词,动词discuss的名词形式为discussion;
2. 主语为第三人称单数he,时态为一般现在时,故用动词第三人称单数形式gives;
3. 固定短语at the beginning of意为“在……之初”,需填名词beginning;
4. 固定搭配spend time (in) doing sth,故用teach的动名词形式teaching;
5. 固定短语try one's best to do sth,需填不定式符号to加动词原形,即to help;
6. 修饰动词explains需用副词,形容词patient的副词形式为patiently;
7. 全文为一般过去时,动词find的过去式为found;
8. 固定搭配teach oneself意为“自学”,主语为he,故用反身代词himself;
9. 时间状语At the age of 75表过去,动词stop的过去式为stopped;
10. 修饰不定代词something需用形容词,动词mean的形容词形式为meaningful。
【答案】
