【解析】

1.考查固定短语和非谓语动词。句意：当他静静地坐着回忆他的童年时，记忆就像一部短片一样在他的脑海里闪过。第一个空使用flash through表示“闪过”，后文使用的sat，说明用一般过去时；第二空用非谓语动词形式，remember与逻辑主语he之间是主动关系，用现在分词作伴随状语。故填flashed through和remembering。

2.考查非谓语动词和介词。句意：他的手指慢慢地滑过精致的外壳，他打开了怀表。run over意为“划过，掠过”，run与逻辑主语he之间为主动关系，此处用现在分词作伴随状语。故填Running和over。

3.考查非谓语动词和形容词。句意：我们大多数人肯定认为我们上学是为了受教育，成为一个博学的人，当我们完成学业时是有用的人。第一空为短语be educated“接受教育”；第二空修饰名词man应用形容词learned，短语a learned man “一个博学的人”。故填educated和learned。

4.考查固定短语和形容词。句意：他试图吃掉它，但从他脸上的表情可以看出，他真的很讨厌它。结合句意表示“试图做某事”短语为make an attempt to do sth.，本句中主语为he，时态根据下文is可知为一般现在时，故谓语动词用第三人称单数；第二空中为“find+宾语+形容词”结构表示“发现某物……”，用形容词作宾语补足语。故填makes an attempt和disgusting。

5.考查固定短语和动词时态。句意：Rowan的职业转变部分是由于他童年时期的一些口语问题。为了弥补这一点，他说话非常慎重。结合句意表示“由于”短语为due to；“补偿，弥补”短语为compensate for，且结合上文was可知应用一般过去时。故填due to和compensated for。
