【3】more

【4】full

【5】While

【6】seriously

【7】who

【8】or

【9】as

【10】of

【解析】

【1】because 考查连词的使用。根据前后两句分析可知，后者是前者的因，两者之间构成因果关系，同时因为后面连接的是句子，故填because。

【2】making 考查短语的使用。“come to doing”是固定用法，故填making。

【3】more 考查比较级的用法。根据文中than，可知这里应该用比较级的形式，故填more。

【4】full 考查短语。“be full of”意为“充满”，是固定用法，故填full。

【5】While 考查连词。“while”在这里意为“然而”，表示转折的关系，符合语境，故填While。

【6】seriously 考查副词。修饰动词用副词，故填seriously。

【7】who 考查主语从句。先行词是“foreigners”，引导词在从句中作主语，故填who。

【8】or 考查连词的使用。根据空格前后句子可知，两者间构成并列关系，同时因为这里是否定句型，所以应该用or，故填or。

【9】as 考查固定句型。so...as...是固定用法，意为“如此……正如”，故填as。

【10】of 考查固定结构。“accuse sb of doing”是固定结构，意为“指责某人做某事”。故填of。
