【1题详解】
考查非谓语动词。介词after后要跟名词，动词要用其动名词形式，要填的动词这一动作的逻辑主语是：a three-year-old boy三岁的男孩，他是leave动作的接受者，要用被动态，be left，be在介词后为being，故填being left。
【2题详解】
考查连词。主句意思是：这种事情在全世界并不少见。从句意思：这种事情是个可怕的悲剧。也就是说悲剧本来是要避免发生的，不叫它发生，而实际情况并不是这样，所以从句和主句之间的逻辑关系是让步，连词在句首，故填Although。
【3题详解】
考查时态。句子中时间状语so far是到目前为止的意思，表示的是段时间，另一个时间状语：this year表示和现在相关，所以要用现在完成时，中译英翻译die虽然是个瞬间动词，但这里强调的是存在的这种事情，更多的是强调的存在的事实，不是动作，所以要用完成时，故填have died。
【4题详解】
考查定语从句。句中child是先行词，后面是限制性定语从句，定语从句缺少主语，指人的先行词用who，作定语从句的主语，故填who。
【5题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句中谓语动词made的宾语device后的成份是其定语，不是其补足语，修饰说明是一种什么device，定语中using荷兰语翻译软件后要跟to do，u to do sth.，故填to monitorplayoffs。
【6题详解】
考查连词。which考研英语复习引导的是非限制性定语从句，先行词是device，在非限制性定语从句中，主句是它可以吹进冷空气，从句是车内温度和二氧化碳含量达到限定值时，主从之间是有时间的先后顺序的，所以要用引导时间状语的连词，达到极值是一点，故填when。
【7题详解】
考查代词。主语the device是物，单数，用同位语来加强语气，放在它后面，所以要用表示单数物的反身代词，故填itlf。
【8题详解】
狗屎的英文考查非谓语动词。非谓语动词作定语修饰knowledge，它是后面动词need的接受者，所以要用V-ed形式，故填needed。
【9题详解】
考查固定搭配。spend……doing sth.是固定搭配，所以spend后动词要用V-ing形式，故填rearching。
【10题详解】
考查时态。在句中三个动词并列：notice，think和try，前、后两个动词用的都是一般过去式，谈论的是发生过的事情，所以中间的动词也要用一般过去式，故填thought。
