【3】as

【4】myself

【8】kept

【9】the

【10】was called

【解析】作者講述了在醫(yī)生候診室中安慰和幫助兩個焦躁不安的女士的故事。

【1】focused

考查形容詞。此處指我努力想專注于看雜志，stay focused “持續(xù)專注”，形容詞表狀態(tài)，故填focused.

【2】truly

考查副詞。此處修飾形容詞interested用副詞，指真地感興趣，故填truly.

【3】as

考查固定短語。as +形容詞/副詞+as sb. can表示某人盡可能…的，故填as.

【4】myself

考查反身代詞。句中enjoy的賓語和句子的主語I是同一個人，指我很欣賞自己，用反身代詞作賓語，故填myself.

【5】trying

考查動詞形式。句中try的主語和句子的主語一致，都是I，二者是主動關(guān)系。此處作狀語用動詞的-ing形式，故填trying.

【6】who / that

考查關(guān)系代詞。句中包含定語從句，先行詞是woman指人，在定語從句中做主語用關(guān)系代詞who / that引導(dǎo)，故填who / that.

【7】patience

考查名詞。此處是my修飾名詞，指我的耐心，故填名詞patience.

【8】kept

考查動詞。根據(jù)開頭的yesterday可知全文敘述過去發(fā)生的事，用的是過去時。此處也用過去時，故填kept.

【9】the

考查冠詞。根據(jù)開頭the doctor’s office可知此處特指這個醫(yī)生，表示特指，故填the.

【10】was called

考查時態(tài)語態(tài)。主語I和動詞call是被動關(guān)系，指我被醫(yī)生叫進(jìn)去。與全文時態(tài)一致用過去時，故填was called.
