【9】has worked

【10】that

【解析】

【1】该空格前是一个定冠词the，故空格中应该用名词，故填development。

【2】分析句子，可知该空格处要用一个非谓语动词；由于call与主语program之间是被动关系，故用过去分词形式，故填called。

【3】分析句子，可知本句的意思是：开发者们说它们的学习能力可能某天会让电脑帮助解决真实世界中的问题。故填its。

【4】and连接的是两个并列动词，根据该空格前的making可知，此处用现在分词形式，故填conducting。

【5】分析句子，可知空格前是代词other，故其后要用名词复数，故填games。

【6】根据句意，可知空格后的game指代的是上文提过的，故在其前面要用定冠词the。

【7】根据句意，可知此处表示的是一种方式，而且空格后是动名词，故可知此处应该用介词by。

【8】分析句子，可知本句中缺少连词。根据句意，可知前后两个句子之间是转折的逻辑关系，故用but。

【9】分析句子，可知本句中有标志性时间状语for 30 years，故本句要用现在完成时，故填has worked。

【10】分析句子，可知这是一个定语从句，从句中缺少了宾语，而先行词是everything else，故用关系代词that。
