【解析】

本文是说明文，介绍了特技演员工作的一些情况。

【1】考查非谓语动词。句意：我们喜欢看令人兴奋的特技表演。 短语enjoy doing…“喜欢做……”, enjoy后接动名词作宾语。故填watching。

【2】考查形容词。句意：特技演员过着忙碌而充满活力的生活。修饰名词life，应用形容词；energy是名词，形容词为energetic，意思为“精力充沛的，有活力的”。故填energetic。

【3】考查名词。句意：许多特技演员从武术或体操开始，从中他们培养力量。分析句子结构，所填词是develop的宾语，应该用名词； strong是形容词，名词为strength，意思为“力量，实力，长处”。故填strength。

【4】考查可数名词的单数。句意：有经验的特技演员学习许多额外的技能，如骑马、使用炸药和潜水。skill是可数名词，前面有many，因此应该用复数形式。故填skills。

【5】考查从属连词。句意：特技演员在制作电影或电视节目的地方工作。分析句子结构，空后是地点状语从句，应用where引导地点状语从句，意思为“在……地方”；也可以用wherever引导地点状语从句，意思为“在……的任何地方”。故填wherever/where。

【6】考查时态和语态。句意：好莱坞被称为世界电影之都。句子叙述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时；短语be known as“作为……而闻名”；因此句子用一般现在时的被动语态be done；句子主语Hollywood是单数，be动词应用单数形式；也可用现在完成时的被动语态has/have been done，强调对现在的影响或结果。故填is known/ has been known。

【7】考查介词。句意：其他有着繁忙的电影或电视制片厂的地方包括加拿大的温哥华和澳大利亚的昆士兰。根据句意，此处用介词with，表示“具有”。故填with。

【8】考查时态。句意：在沙漠、丛林和山区等偏远地区拍摄使得他们经常旅行。分析句子结构，句子主语Filming in remote places such as deserts, jungles, and mountains是动名词短语，因此谓语动词keep应该用单数形式；句子叙述的是客观情况，应用一般现在时。故填keeps。

【9】考查冠词。句意：特技工作是一项极限工作。这里泛指“一项极限工作”，此处不定冠词an表示数量，意思为“一个，一种”；extreme的发音是以元音因素开头，因此用不定冠词an。故填an。

【10】考查固定句式。句意：特技演员知道他们的工作是如此危险，以至于一个轻微的误判，或者一个损坏的设备，都可能导致严重的事故。前面有so，根据句意，此处是so…that引导结果状语从句，意思为“如此……以至于”。故填that。
