【解析】

试题分析：通过本文考查了学生对一些英语语法的理解和应用。如固定搭配，形容词副词的区别，名词的用法等。

【1】asked 考查被动。ask与Cuban之间是动宾关系，所以这里需用被动语态。

【2】most important 考查最高级。由句意可知，这里需用最高级，表示“最重要的因素”。

【3】whether/if 考查连接词。这里表示疑问，句意：最难的部分是为了想知道这个想法是否能够在行业中行得通而做功课。故填whether或if。

【4】which 考查非限制性定语从句。这里用关系词which代指前面的一句话。

【5】willingness 考查名词。Willingness乐意，心甘情愿。

【6】what 考查主语从句。这里what是双重结构，what=the thing that，即在句中作主语，也作studies的宾语。

【7】interested 考查时态。这里interest为动词，需用过去式。

【8】a 考查冠词。opportunity为可数名词，这里指的“一次有报酬的机会”，所以需用不定冠词a。

【9】to learn 考查动词短语。advise sb to do sth建议某人做某事。

【10】of 考查短语。regardless of无论，为固定短语。
