（5）扮演来自不同人物的刻板形象也很有趣。people是个复数词，只能作复数使用，故答案是people。
（6）听外国人用不同的口音说英语听起来有趣，本句为动词不定式做主语，it是形式主语，真正的动词不定式在后，因此使用动词不定式，故答案是to hear。
（7）世界剧是在戏剧中创造笑话的一种方法。create在句中做后置定语，应使用动词不定式，语故答案是to create。
（8）但是对于我们来说他的戏剧不是很有趣，因为英语单词的意思改变了。 根据Shakespeare's plays made people in the sixteenth century laugh seriously. 可知，本句说的是莎士比亚的戏剧，故答案是plays。
（9）但是对于我们来说他的戏剧不是很有趣，因为英语单词的意思改变了。根据冠词the可知应使用名词，所以将mean改为meaning，根据后面的words可知应使用复数形式，故答案是meanings。
（10）但是对于我们来说他的戏剧不是很有趣，因为英语单词的意思改变了。之所以前面说莎士比亚的戏曲对于我们来说没有趣味，因为英语的意思发生了改变，这是动作的发生造成的影响，应使用现在完成时，主语meanings为复数，助动词选用have，故答案是have changed。
考查词汇在篇章中的运用能力，答题时首先要跳过空格通读文章掌握其大意，然后细读文章，字斟句酌逐一作答，注意考虑句型、语法、搭配、语境等因素。最后通读一遍，检查验证。

（5）因为我可以假装作一个不同的人。根据前文是why引导的问句，所以用because回答，故答案为Because。
（6）有那么多不同种类的游戏。前文有many different，说明不是一种，所以用复数形式，故答案为kinds。
（7）世上有人总是想玩的。want后接动词不定式，want to do sth 想做某事，故答案为to play。
（8）一些玩家不欢迎新的游戏者。根据语境，是一般现在时，否定动词welcome，主语是gamers，复数形式，要用助动词do，故答案为don't。
（9）每当他有问题时，他总是说，打扰了。根据后文，question可知，此句需要不定冠词，表示泛指，因question的第一个音素是辅音音素，故答案为a。
（10）有时这很奏效。此处work是动词，本文用一般现在时态，主语this是单数，所以动词是三单式，故答案为works。

文章大意：从前，在一个小村里，有一个泰斯拉的老人，不管发生了什么他都认为是好事。
（1）在一个村庄里有一个叫做泰斯拉的老人。man是单数，前面需要不定冠词，old是以元音音素开始的，因此使用an，故答案是an。
（2）泰斯拉的朋友想知道他的朋友是否回来。根据句首的long long ago可知句子为一般过去时，故答案是wondered。
（3）但是泰斯拉总是说“不管发生了什么，都是 好事，”朋友想知道他的儿子是否会回来，泰斯拉却说不管发生了什么都是好事，所以使用but表示转折，故答案是but。
（4）他感谢了村民们，然然后礼貌地说：“不管发生了什么，发生的都是好事。”polite修饰动词said，因此使用副词politely，故答案是politely。
（5）然而，之后，太势力的儿子摔断了腿。摔断的不可能是两条腿，应该是一条腿，因此使用单数形式，故答案是leg。
（6）村民在一次来看忘了他，他再一次感谢了他们。they做thank的宾语，应使用宾格人称代词，故答案是them。
（7）一些村名听到后感到很吃惊。听到是吃惊的原因，应使用动词不定式做状语，故答案是to hear。
（8）几天之后，军队来到村里，强迫年轻人参军。根据the army可知是强迫参军，force sb. to do sth.固定搭配，to已经给出，因此使用动词原形，故答案是join。
（9）当他们发现他的儿子有一条断腿的时候，他们就把他留下了。break修饰leg，因此使用过去分词，故答案是broken。
（10）村民再次来祝她好运。good修饰luck，没有任何比较，所以使用原级，故答案是good。
