【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。Henry Bond的爸爸去世时他只有十岁，他和妈妈过着贫穷的生活。Henry一直是班上最优秀的学生之一。他不知道“失败”这个词。有了决心，他总能找到出路。

【1】考查固定结构。句意：他和妈妈过着贫穷的生活。live a poor life“过着贫穷的生活”，故此处填a。

【2】考查动词不定式。句意：但是他妈妈没有钱为他买一个。此处是动词不定式做后置定语，故答案为to buy。

【3】考查过去分词。句意：被它困扰，亨利开始思考可以做些什么。句子主语Henry和trouble之间是被动关系，是过去分词做原因状语，故答案为Troubled。

【4】考查宾语从句引导词。句意：被它困扰，亨利开始思考可以做些什么。此处动词词组think about 后面是一个宾语从句，从句没有引导词，同时也缺少主语，结合句意，可知答案为what。

【5】考查副词。句意：一天早晨，天下了很大的雪，寒风刮得很厉害。此处snow是动词，由副词来修饰，故答案为heavily。

【6】考查现在分词做时间状语。句意：看着深雪，亨利对自己说：“这是一种不给任何人好处的坏风。”句子主语Henry和look之间是主动关系，这里是现在分词做时间状语，故答案为Looking。

【7】考查固定结构。say to oneself自言自语，故答案为himself。

【8】考查现在分词做时间状语。句子主语he和complete之间是主动关系，且complete的动作先于receive，句子用现在分词完成式或一般式做时间状语，故答案为having completed/completing。

【9】考查时态。句意：当开始上课时，亨利坐在他的座位上，他是班上最快乐的男孩，准备用他的新书开始上课。结合句意可知句子用一般过去时态，故答案为started。

【10】考查介词。句意：他不知道“失败”这个词。此处填介词as（作为）。
