【解析】

本文是一篇人物傳記，介紹了斯皮爾伯格的生平及成就。

【1】考查非限定性定語從句。句意：斯皮爾伯格無疑是西方最成功的導(dǎo)演。先行詞為Steven Spielberg，指人，關(guān)系詞在非限定性定語從句中作主語，故填who。

【2】考查表語從句。句意：他給別人印象最深的是很小的時(shí)候他就有不同尋常的能力。空處引導(dǎo)表語從句，從句結(jié)構(gòu)完整，用that引導(dǎo)這個(gè)表語從句，只起連接作用，無實(shí)義，故填that。

【3】考查非限定性定語從句。句意：16歲時(shí)，他拍了一部135分鐘的家庭電影《火光》，賺了100美元。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知此處為非限定性定語從句，先行詞為at the age of 16，指時(shí)間，從句不缺主賓表，缺少時(shí)間狀語，故填when。

【4】考查形容詞最高級(jí)。句意：這是有史以來最成功的電影之一。one of后接形容詞最高級(jí)，故填the most successful。

【5】考查同位語從句。句意：人們永遠(yuǎn)無法否認(rèn)這個(gè)事實(shí)——在電影史上，他比任何人都理解“娛樂”這個(gè)詞的含義。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處為同位語從句，用that解釋fact的內(nèi)容，故填that。

【6】考查賓語從句。句意：斯皮爾伯格作為七個(gè)孩子的父親這一角色教會(huì)了他很多關(guān)于什么是好故事的知識(shí)。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處為賓語從句，從句中的makes缺少主語，故填what。

【7】考查狀語從句。句意：他每天晚上都給他們講故事，以便他能在電影制作上保持活躍。根據(jù)句意可知此處用so that引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句，故填so that。

【8】考查時(shí)態(tài)語態(tài)。句意：在過去的幾年里，我受到每一個(gè)拍好電影的人的鼓舞�！�In the past few years”表明用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)， I與inspire之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)，故填have been inspired。

【9】考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。句意：我不能冒我的追隨者對(duì)電影失去熱情的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。risk doing表示“冒險(xiǎn)做某事”，故填losing。

【10】考查不定式。句意：他把他的成功歸因于繼續(xù)工作的努力。attempt后接不定式作定語，表示“……的努力”，故填to keep。

注意so that既可以引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句，也可引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句，其引導(dǎo)的是目的狀語從句還是結(jié)果狀語從句的區(qū)別有兩個(gè)：①目的狀語從句中往往有情態(tài)動(dòng)詞can ,could,may 或might；②從意思上看，目的狀語從句的目的很明確。如，①Speak clearly so that they can understand you.清楚地表達(dá)以便他們能理解你(目的狀語從句)；②Jack was badly ill so that he had to rest.杰克病得很重，所以他必須休息（結(jié)果狀語從句）
