【解析】

本文主要介紹一個叫Chris Strolin的老人，提出了以新的理解單詞的方法——通過押韻的方式，并希望通過五行打油詩的形式制作一部字典。

【1】句意：有一個男人提出了他自己的方法去理解單詞的意思——通過押韻。根據(jù)own,可知此處填一個名詞，the way to …的方法，故答案是way。

【2】句意：他用以相同發(fā)音或者相似發(fā)音結(jié)尾的單詞。這是一個限制性定語從句，缺少關(guān)系詞，words是先行詞，關(guān)系詞在從句中做主語，所以此處需填一個指物的關(guān)系代詞，故答案是that。

【3】句意：Chris Strolin。一個來自美國的老人，一直從事于一本完全由五行打油詩構(gòu)成的英語字典。be/come from sp來自某地，此處介詞短語作后置定語，故答案是from。

【4】句意：五行打油詩是一種短詩，有五行押韻。本句是個定語從句，that從句修飾先行詞，所以此處處應填一個單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞，結(jié)合句意，故答案是poem。

【5】句意：當Strolin把這個想法介紹給愛好字典的朋友的時候，他說對于這本字典的想法開始于一個玩笑。此空應填一個謂語動詞，一般過去時，結(jié)合句意及introduce sth to sb，故答案是introduced

【6】句意：2004年，他決定開始他自己的線上五行打油詩字典。此空應該填一個謂語動詞，一般過去時，結(jié)合句意及decide to do sth，故答案是decided。

【7】句意：因為這項工作不容易，Strolin邀請其他人幫忙提出想法，把他們的五行打油詩加入到字典里。這是個前因后果的句子，結(jié)合句意可知是因為這項工作太難，他才邀請了別人幫忙，故答案easy。

【8】句意：到目前為止，已有超過97,000的押韻定義被創(chuàng)造了，今年這個數(shù)字預計達到100,000。此處With的復合結(jié)構(gòu)，結(jié)合句意想要已有的97,000得數(shù)據(jù)達到100,000.故答案是reach。

【9】句意：這部字典本身就需要很多年才能達成。Many 后加可數(shù)名詞的復數(shù)，根據(jù)下文The dictionary itself will be growing for many ___9___ to come可知，這部字典還需要很多年才能完成，故答案是years。

【10】句意：他說他希望他的孫子，也許他們的孩子，能夠介入這份工作完成它。And表并列，所以此處應填一個動詞原形，結(jié)合句意，可知答案是finish。
