Answer 1

32．staring 考查非谓语．根据句意：我把自己藏在屋里，盯着窗外．本句中用现在分词staring做hid的伴随状语．
33．whether/if考查宾语从句．本句中being alive was worthwhile是动词questioned的宾语，根据句意：我甚至质疑活着是否有价值，所以答案填whether/if"是否"．
34．that/which 考查定语从句．本句中被修饰的先行词是shadow，而且先行词在从句中做主语，所以关系代词用that或者which．
35．a  考查冠词．根据句意：抑郁是一种心理疾病．a mental illness"一种心理疾病"，这里是泛指，所以用a．
36．worst 考查形容词．根据句意：最糟糕的是，抑郁甚至会导致自杀．所以此处要用bad的最高级worst．
37．have  lasted 考查时态．根据句意：考虑这种感情持续了多长时间了，可以判断本句应该用现在完成时，have lasted．
38．can 考查情态动词．根据句意：没有人能够独自面对抑郁．can是情态动词"能够"．
39．embarrassed 考查形容词．根据句意：当我抑郁的时候，我很为难告诉任何人．embarrassed是形容词"为难的，局促不安的"，此处做表语．
40．although/though 考查连词．根据句意：尽管抑郁症影响了全世界的许多人，但治疗方法是可行的，可以给他们的生活带来希望和快乐．although/though是连词"尽管…d但是"引导的是让步状语从句．
