试题分析：

1.这里表示最终我的耐心没有了，且and之前的句子用的是一般过去时，故and之后也要用一般过去时，故用gave out。

2.这里表示他别无选择，只能屈服；but作“除……以外”解时，若前面没有实意动词，后面要多带一个“to”，所以填to give in。

3.这里表示与工程学有关的职业，is concerned with是固定用法，意思是相关。

4.句意，他的母亲生于一个非常贫穷的家庭，在他的母亲的影响下，这个男孩也养成了节俭的习惯。

5.句意，当这位老师教学生怎样写正规的信件时，他强调了写信的规矩，故用put stress on。

6.这里想表达结束了洪水的危险，且分词的动作和其逻辑主语之间是主动关系，故用现在分词作结果状语。

7.这里想表达中国的许多地方政府都减少会议的花费，根据时间状语“Since Chairman Xi Jinpin came to power,”可知，需要使用现在完成时。

8.表示“始于......时候”，Dating from是固定用法。

9.这里表示如果你偶然遇到一个妖怪，根据“would you feel so frightened as to freeze”，故用一般过去时。

10.这是一个强调句，强调了句子主语“poor air quality”，这里想说，就是很差的空气质量导致了越来越多的人生病，故用contributes to。
