【解析】本文介绍了古希腊哲学家苏格拉底的教学理念及不幸遭遇。

【1】考查名词。of后接名词作宾语，此处指“智慧的爱”，wise的名词形式是wisdom，故填wisdom。

【2】考查代词。what在句中引导主语从句，在主语从句中作say的宾语，表示“……说的话”，故填what。

【3】考查形容词。修饰名词enemies用形容词dangerous，表示“危险的敌人”，故填dangerous。

【4】考查固定短语accuse…of…“指控，控告”，此处指他们错误地指控苏格拉底教给学生坏事。故填of。

【5】考查代词。动词led后用宾格的人称代词作宾语，故填them。

【6】考查过去分词。have sth. done “使某事被做，让别人做某事”，此处had him arrested表示“派人逮捕他”，故填arrested。

【7】考查时态语态。句中主语friends and pupils与谓语动词allow是被动关系，此处做谓语，与全文时态一致用一般过去时的被动语态，故填were allowed。

【8】考查副词。此处修饰动词brought应用副词，指致命的毒药最后被带给苏格拉底，故填eventually。

【9】考查名词。此处in tears意为“含着泪”，故填tears。

【10】考查冠词。此处表示“一杯”，a glass of，故填a。
