【正确答案】：1.blamed 2.actually 3.heard 4.natural 5.considered 6.advantages 7.incorrect 8.went 9.spirits 10.wisely
【题目解析】：1.空格所给单词是动词blame，前面是or，表达并列，跟前面的单词要一致，前面单词是ridiculed（过去分词），所以blame也变成blamed，跟前面的will be ridiculed 并列表达一般将来时的被动语态
2.空格前是动词are，后面是形容词unavoidable，共同构成主系表结构，所以中间的词性只能是副词，来修饰动词或形容词，所以答案是actually
3.空格单词是动词原形hear，前面有have，所以把hear改成过去分词heard，have heard表达现在完成时
4.空格前是it is ， 后面是that 从句，所以需要加一个形容词，构成主系表结构，答案是natural
5.空格前是动词is，所给单词也是动词consider，此种情况下，要么把consider改成considering，跟前面is构成现在进行时，要么把consider改成considered，跟前面is构成一般现在时的被动语态，根据句意，所以答案是considered，表达在追求理想的过程中所犯的错误被认为是一个必经阶段。
6.a lot of 后面加可数名词复数或不可数名词，根据句意，说明你可以从错误中得到很多好处，所以是表达复数，答案是advantages
7.and前面是correct，此句表达，你可以通过犯错区分自己行为中正确和不正确的地方，所以答案是correct的反义词incorrect
8.went
9.空格前是形容词good，形容词要修饰名词，而本身spirit就是名词，根据句意把spirit改成spirits 表达精神
10.空格后面是动名词learn，所以需要把wise改成wisely，副词修饰动词。
