【分析】
本题为英语短文填空，需结合上下文语境、语法规则（时态、语态、词性、介词、冠词等）及固定搭配解题。先通读全文把握主旨，再逐个分析每个空的语法要求和语境逻辑：1. 第1空需用一般过去时（时间为过去的3月28日）；2. 第2空具体日期前用介词on；3. 第3空when引导的过去时间状语从句，主句用过去进行时；4. 第4空修饰动词用副词；5. 第5空为被动语态结构；6. 第6空介词后接动名词；7. 第7空泛指用不定冠词；8. 第8空与前面谓语并列，用过去式；9. 第9空引导时间/条件状语从句；10. 第10空为固定搭配try one's best to do sth。
【解析】
1. 第1空：时间状语“On March 28”表过去，句子用一般过去时，hit的过去式仍为hit，故填hit。
2. 第2空：表示在具体某一天，需用介词on，故填on。
3. 第3空：when引导的时间状语从句（从句为过去时），主句描述过去某时刻正在进行的动作，用过去进行时，主语为复数，故填were sleeping。
4. 第4空：此处修饰动词placed，需用副词，quiet的副词形式为quietly，故填quietly。
5. 第5空：be trapped为固定被动结构，意为“被困住”，故填trapped。
6. 第6空：of是介词，介词后接动词需用动名词形式，find的动名词为finding，故填finding。
7. 第7空：此处泛指“一名蓝天救援队志愿者”，且Blue Sky Rescue以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a，故填a。
8. 第8空：and连接并列谓语，前面rushed为过去式，此处需用fly的过去式flew，故填flew。
9. 第9空：根据语境，此处可引导时间状语从句（意为“当……时”）或条件状语从句（意为“如果”），故填When/If。
10. 第10空：固定搭配try one's best to do sth，意为“尽某人最大努力做某事”，故填to offer。
