【解析】

1.考点定位: 现在分词

分析句子结构，可知此处要填follow的非谓语形式，因为本句的主语是she（人），与follow之间是主动关系，故填following，表主动和伴随。

2.考点定位: 宾语从句

根据对上下文的理解，可知本句的意思是：我不记的这是什么时候（when）第一次让我感到生气了。

3.考点定位: 考查代词／不定代词

分析句子结构，可知say后面必须用宾语，由于这是一个否定句，根据句意，应填anything。

4.考点定位: 考查倒装与省略

分析句子，可知这是一个否定词never提前放在句首的部分倒装句，由于本句子的时态是要用一般过去时，故用一般过去时的助动词did。

5.考点定位:考查词组／短语

close … with是固定搭配，意思是：以…结束。

6.考点定位: 考查构词法

本空格前的my是形容词性物主代词，故其后应该用一个名词，think的名词形式thought是可数名词，故用thoughts。

7.考点定位:考查副词／比较等级

根据上下文，空格中的词是用于修饰其后的动词recall，故此处用frequent的副词形式frequently。

8.考点定位: 考查时态语态

根据上下文的意思，可知道这个宾语从句中的动作是发生在主句之前，由于主句使用的是一般过去时，故从句需要用过去完成时，故填had talked。

9.考点定位: 考查构词法

本空格前的new是形容词，故其后应该用一个名词，故用appreciate的名词形式appreciation。

10.考点定位: 考查代词／不定代词

根据句意可知道这里指的是她妈妈的手，故用形容词性物主代词her。
