解析:①考查主谓一致。据说,人们经常看到一家中药店的店主对他的伙计大喊大叫。"The story goes that…“据说,传闻”为固定用法,所以填goes。
②考查非谓语动词。一天晚上,一个学徒正在整理店里用来做中药的原料。 the ingredients与use之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应用动词-ed形式作定语,所以填used。
③考查反身代词。为了打发时间,他发现他自己用柔软得跟羽毛似的花朵和蝉蜕的头和腿做成了一个小人儿。文中表示"他发现他自己",应用反身代词,所以填 himself。
④考查非谓语动词。学徒把它拿给他的同事看,开玩笑说它看起来像他们脾气暴躁的老板。joke的逻辑主语是The apprentice,二者之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故应用动词-ing形式作状语,所以填 joking。
⑤考查冠词。这个小人儿变得大受欢迎以至于他开始制作更多的小人儿。hit是可数名词,在此意为"很受欢迎的事物",且其发音以辅音音素开头,所以填不定冠词a。
⑥考查时态和语态。于是,北京令人称奇的"毛猴"制作手艺诞生了。born"出现,形成",仅用于被动语态。此处描述发生在过去的事情,应用一般过去时。所以填 was born。
⑦考查介词。如今,"毛猴"远非北京市场上最受欢迎的儿童礼物。 far from"几乎相反,远非",为固定短语,所以填from。
⑧考查副词。大批量生产的玩具使得人们对手工玩偶的需求明显降低。该空修饰动词reduced,应用副词形式,所以填 obviously。
⑨考查名词复数。走在今天北京庙会的各个摊贩和巨大的泰迪熊摊位之间,你可能还会发现一些卖"毛猴"的地方。联系语境,此处"摊贩“是复数意义,应用名词复数,所以填 sellers。
⑩考查连词。空处前后句之间存在语意上的连贯,所以填and。
