【解析】本题是根据句意和所给词的适当形式填空，要看懂句意，再根据句子结构判断所填词的词意和词性，最后选用适当形式。

1.as/though

考查连词。句意：尽管可能觉得奇怪，但他提的建议还是可接受的。此处是as/though引导的让步状语从句，形容词Strange提前句子倒装。故填as/though.

2.when

考查连词。句意：当有人敲门的时候我正打算睡觉。此处表示当…时，故填when.

3.that

考查强调句。句意：直到19世纪初他的音乐天赋才被充分认可。此处是强调句，基本结构是：it is/was+被强调部分+that+其他，故填that.

4.will have cleaned

考查时态语态。句意：到你回家的时候，我会把房子从上到下打扫干净的。you get home是一个将来的时间，到将来某个时间已经完成的动作用将来完成时，结构为：will have+ 过去分词，故填will have cleaned.

5.occurred

考查动词时态。句意：我突然想到没锁门。occur to被想到，此处表示过去发生的事用过去时，故填occurred.

6.as

考查连词。句意：据报道烟民的数量下降了17%. as is reported“据报道”，是固定短语as表示“根据”，故填as.

7.where

考查关系副词。句意：对面是圣保罗大教堂，在这里你能听到一些优美的音乐。先行词St.Paul’s Church在定语从句中作状语，指在这里，故填where.

8.what

考查宾语从句。句意：在看似无望的等待之后，黑龙江被困在井下125小时的四个煤矿工人终于被救了。After后是宾语从句，在宾语从句中作主语，表示“什么”，故填what.

9.complaining

考查动词形式。句意：众所周知，没有行动的抱怨是没用的。it’s no use doing sth.“做某事是没用的”，故填complaining.

10.to be told

考查不定式的被动。句意：George战后回到家，结果被告诉他的妻子已经离开他了。only to do“结果是”，句中George和动词tell是被动关系，用不定式的被动。故填to be told.
