2.being sent

3.her

4.to

5.kissing

6.but

7.most

8.Haven’t forgiven

9.initially

10.because

【解析】这是一篇记叙文，作者用亲身经历讲述了自己和一个可爱但却患有传染病孤儿的感人故事。

1.

2.2】being sent。-ing形式的被动式，作介词的before宾语，因为小女孩是被送到另一家孤儿院。

3.3】her。人称代词宾格作saw的宾语。

4.4】to。take a liking to sb./sth.是习惯搭配，意为：喜欢上，对……有好感。

5.5】kissing。feel like doing something：很想干什么。

6.6】but。很显然，这里表转折。

7.7】most。根据后文that I ever had，这里应该是gentle and sweet的最高级。

8.8】Haven’t forgiven。谓语动词的现在完成时，注意这里考查的是一个不规则动词。

9.9】initially。这里应该用副词作状语，意思是“最初，开始”，相当于at first。

10.0】because。引导一个原因状语从句。此句的意思是：“我认为她感觉到了我的犹疑，因为她从此再也没有亲过我了”。这里用for也可接受。
