【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了麦兜(Mcdull)是一只来自香港的卡通小猪。他的生活普通到不能再普通，可正是这样一个角色，让观众们在他的身上看到了自己的影子 。

1.根据下文的两件事可知，本句的意思应是“他屡战屡败。”所以本题应填fails。

2.根据文章，本句的意思是“他梦想去马尔代夫。”“梦想做某事”是dream of doing。因为是第三人称单数，故用dreams。

3.本句的意思是“但结果却以香港一日游而告终。”故用instead“代替”。

4.根据文章，本句的意思是“迄今已有五部麦兜系列电影在内地和香港上映。”“上映”是show，本处需要用过去分词做后置定语。故填shown。

5.本句的意思是“她称自己是个简单的人 ”describe…as“将…描述为”。所以本题填as。

6.本句的意思是“比如上帝创造人类是因为他爱世人并许以世人幸福快乐。”我们可以上帝造人推测出本题填humans。

7.本句的意思是“在麦兜身上，人们找到以前的自己，那个像麦兜一样简单、开心的自己。”“过去/以前常常”是used to。所以本题填used。

8.根据下文可知，本句的意思是“我突然明白，有些东西你是不可能拥有的。”所以本题应填something。

9.根据上文中一连串的funny可知，本处应该填funny。本句的意思是“当我长大了，到我该面对这硬绷绷、未必那么好笑的世界的时候，我会怎样呢？”

10.根据本空的位置和在句中做的成分可知，本空应该是一个特殊疑问词，并且做doing的宾语。故用what。本句的意思是“他在电影中一直致力于寻求新的梦想 ”。

考点：本题考查人物传记类文章

点评：完成本题有一定的难度，首先应该熟读文章，弄清文章的意思，熟悉麦兜的成功历程；其次，应结合文意和句意选择合适的词，注意推断；再次应注意词的时态和固定用法。
