【解析】本文是记叙文，讲述38岁的李健忠回到老家继承中国传统文化，学习制作糖画的故事。

【1】考查词性转换。空处修饰名词memory，故填形容词distant（遥远的，久远的）。

【2】考査非谓语动词。一位38岁的手艺人李健忠致力于继承糖面艺术。be committed to中的to是介词，此处应用动名词，故填keeping。

【3】考査冠词。上文提到他做过十多年矿工，故此处表示他所在的矿井关闭以后，为特指，故用the。

【4】考查介词。他转而去做房屋装修的工作了。 turn to“转而做，转向”。 故填 to。

【5】考查时态和语态。直到他因为手指受伤而被迫放弃。此处讲述过去的事情，故用一般过去时，且句子的主语和force之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。故填was forced。

【6】考查代词。由于他的村子里没有糖面手艺人，因此他自学（制作糖面)。by oneself是固定用法，表示“独自地，全靠自己地”，study by oneself“自学”，故填himself。

【7】考查词性转换。他很快掌握了这项技术并能制作出各种各样的糖画。a variety of“各种各样”，故填variety。

【8】考查非谓语动词。糖画通常用褐色或白色的融化了的糖做。糖是被融化的，故用过去分词作定语，故填melted。

【9】考查词性转换。手艺人们通常用糖浆在石板上画动物和花。修饰谓语动词用副词，故填normally。

【10】考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导主语从句，且在从句中作主语，表示“所……的东西”，故填what。
