【解析】

這篇短文主要講述了活生生的雕像的表演成為街頭藝術(shù)�，F(xiàn)在它在世界上許多大城市都很受歡迎。

【1】

句意：當(dāng)你在世界上的大城市旅行時(shí)，你會(huì)看到成千上萬(wàn)的人物雕像矗立在街道上。

根據(jù)“While traveling to big cities in the world”可知，你能看到說(shuō)成千上萬(wàn)街頭藝人。thousands of…成千上萬(wàn)……；故答案為thousands。

【2】

句意：你相信他們是真正的街頭藝人嗎？

這里是作為街頭藝人；短語(yǔ)work as…作為……工作；故答案為as。

【3】

句意：他們常常把自己完全涂上油漆。

這里是副詞修飾動(dòng)詞。所給單詞complete動(dòng)詞，完全的；這里用副詞completely，完全地。故答案為completely。

【4】

句意：他們不得不站著一動(dòng)不動(dòng)，睜大眼睛看幾個(gè)小時(shí)。

根據(jù)下文“Street artists need to be strong-minded and patient.”可知，這里是睜大眼睛看幾個(gè)小時(shí)。for+一段時(shí)間；several+名詞復(fù)數(shù)；hour名詞，小時(shí)，復(fù)數(shù)是hours。故答案為hours。

【5】

句意：這不是一件容易的工作，但對(duì)他們來(lái)說(shuō)有很多樂(lè)趣。

根據(jù)“Street artists need to be strong-minded and patient.”可知，這里是說(shuō)這個(gè)工作是不容易的。這里表示泛指，用不定冠詞，easy首字母是以元音音素開(kāi)頭的，用不定冠詞an。故答案為an。

【6】

句意：約格是巴西最著名的街頭藝術(shù)家之一。

one of+the+形容詞最高級(jí)+名詞復(fù)數(shù)，表示……最之一；famous形容詞，著名的，最高級(jí)是the most famous。故答案為the most famous。

【7】

句意：每當(dāng)約格去上班的時(shí)候，賈斯佩就靠在他的胳膊上，盡可能長(zhǎng)時(shí)間不動(dòng)。

根據(jù)下文“He stands out thanks to his partner, a cute dog named Jaspe.”可知，這里是當(dāng)……的時(shí)候；無(wú)論何時(shí)；When/Whenever何時(shí)，當(dāng)……的時(shí)候；故答案為When/Whenever。

【8】

句意：大多數(shù)人對(duì)他們完美的合作感到驚訝。

這里是他們的完美合作，這里是形容詞性的物主代詞作定語(yǔ)，they的物主代詞their，他們的。故答案為their。

【9】

句意：一些動(dòng)物愛(ài)好者認(rèn)為約格強(qiáng)迫他的狗在街上表演。

根據(jù)下文“In fact, Yorge never trained Jaspe at all.” 事實(shí)上，約格從來(lái)沒(méi)有訓(xùn)練過(guò)賈斯佩�？芍�，上文是“一些動(dòng)物愛(ài)好者認(rèn)為約格強(qiáng)迫他的狗在街上表演”，force sb. to do sth.強(qiáng)迫某人去做某事；短語(yǔ)give a performance in the street在街上表演。故答案為to give。

【10】

句意：活人雕像已成為街頭藝術(shù)。

根據(jù)下文“Now it is really popular in many large cities around the world.”可知，這里是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，已經(jīng)成為街頭藝術(shù)；現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的結(jié)構(gòu)式have/has done的形式；become動(dòng)詞，變成，過(guò)去分詞是become，故答案為has become。
