【解析】

试题分析：美国人追求个性和多样化，但是他们又很追崇制服，不管是什么样的制服他们都喜欢。有一部分原因是制服让人看起来更专业、更有信任感，而多样的制服也并没有破坏他们的个性。

【1】an 考查冠词。缺少冠词，并且elevator是以元音音素开头的，同时根据后文 a five-star general，也可知填an。

【2】professional考查形容词。 Look是系动词，用形容词修饰，用professional。

【3】who/that 考查关系词。 缺少关系代词，指人可以用who/that。

【4】to inspire考查动词。tend是不及物动词，Tend to do固定用法，用 to inspire。

【5】in考查介词。Have faith in 固定短语，信任，填in。

【6】benefits 考查名词。 Practical形容词，后接名词，benefit是可数名词，用复数，填benefits。

【7】more comfortable考查比较级。 后跟了than可知是比较级，填more comfortable。

【8】is考查时态。是众多争论里面一条，故填is。

【9】Though/Although/While考查连词。there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it这两句是转折关系，并且缺少的词在句首，可用的词较多，可填Though/Although/While。

【10】similarly考查副词。修饰动词act，用副词，故填similarly。
