【2】heps

【3】which/that

【4】signals

【5】to tell

【6】harder

【7】and

【8】in

【9】the

【10】properly

【解析】

试题分析：

【1】动名词短语freeing．…作that引导的宾语从句的主语。故填freeing。

【2】help是句子的谓语动词，主语是动名词短语freeing ourselves．．． and concentrating completely．，故用单数第三人称形式。故填helps。

【3】that/which．引导定语从句，并在从句中作主语，修饰先行词messages，故填that/which。

【4】可数名词signal前有a series of修饰，故填复数形式。

【5】句型It rakes…time to do sth．“做某事花……时间”为固定句式，it是形式主语，不定式是真正主语。

【6】本句意为“分散注意力使得我们记住自己吃了什么变得更加困难”，故填形容词比较级，在make后作宾语补足语。故填harder。

【7】连接stops．．．and sends．．． 两个并列谓语，故填连词and。

【8】play a role in表示“在……中扮演角色／起作用”，是固定短语。故填in。

【9】特指“我们吃过什么”这一细节，detail前用定冠词。故填the。

【10】修饰动词done用副词。故填properly。
