【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了Kiyoto Saito想改变人们对农民穿着传统的观念。在人们观念里，在地里干活的农民一整天就是脏的。他通过穿着正装干农活想改变这种观念。

【1】

考查连词。句意：不管他是开拖拉机或是站在田野里，Kiyoto总是穿着优雅的套装。“whether...or 不管……”为连词，引导让步状语从句。故填or。

【2】

考查形容词。此处为结构“find sth.+形容词”，修饰tradition应用boring作宾语补足语。故填boring。

【3】

考查时态。句意：两年前他回到故乡，决心涉足家族企业。分析句子结构可知，and连接并列谓语，所以空处要填一般过去时。故填determined。

【4】

考查定冠词。idea为可数名词，此处特指“wearing a suit in the fields”，应用定冠词the。句首单词首字母要大写。故填The。

【5】

考查副词。此句中修饰动词took应用副词seriously。take sth seriously认真对待某事。故填seriously。

【6】

考查介词。句意：大多数人认为农民整天脏兮兮的。结合句意表示“认为某人是……”短语为think of somebody as…。故填as。

【7】

考查非谓语动词。句意：起初似乎没有人理解他。结合句意表示“似乎要做某事”短语为seemed to do sth.。故填to understand。

【8】

考查名词。句意：甚至他的家人都对他选择的农场装束感到惊讶。his为形容词性物主代词修饰名词，这里表示“他的选择”，应该用名词choice。故填choice。

【9】

考查非谓语动词。句意：他的祖父担心穿着西装做农活会很危险。worry后接省略that的宾语从句，从句动名词做主语。故填doing。

【10】

考查主谓一致。句意：他也有一个博客，他定期张贴自己的农业经历和装扮照片。由“regularly”可知，应该用动词的一般现在时，主语为he，故谓语应该用第三人称单数形式。故填posts。
