17、isdom根据设空前的介词of可知，此处用名词形式。表示他教学是为了追求智慧，而不是为了钱。2what句意：他所说的话总是新的，值得一听。分析该句结构可知，空处引导主语从句，也作say的宾语，故用what。3dangerous根据设空后的名词“enemies”可知，设空处用形容词修饰该名词，意为“危险的”，故用dangerous。4of句意：他们错误地以教唆青年学坏、引导他们无视宗教为罪名控告苏格拉底。accuse sb.of sth.为固定搭配，意为“控告某人”。故填of。5leading参见上题解析。设空处和该句的“teaching”都作介词of的宾语，故用lead的动词ing形式。6ar
18、rested此处表示，他的敌人使他被逮捕了。句中“him”和动词“arrest”之间是被动关系，故用have sth.done结构。7were allowed该句主语“his friends and pupils”和动词“allow”是被动关系；根据上下文可知，该处陈述过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。句意：在他被处死刑前的30天里，他的朋友和学生被允许到监狱里探望他。8They根据语境可知，设空处作该句主语，且指代前一句的“his friends and pupils”，故用They。9eventually根据句意可知，设空处修饰谓语动词，故此处用副词形式。10but根据句意可知，设空处前后为转折关系，故用转折连词but。
