【解析】

【1】an 考查冠词。这里an elevator operator 与a five-star general并列。operator以元音音素开头，故填an。这里表示“无论是电梯操作员的制服还是五星上将的制服”。

【2】professional 考查形容词。句意：支持制服的观点是大部分的制服看起来比百姓服装更职业。professional意为“专业的，职业的”，修饰后面的名词clothes，故要用形容词。

【3】who/that 考查定语从句关系词。man 是先行词，并在定语从句中作主语，故填who/that。

【4】to inspire tend to do倾向于做某事。句意：穿制服的电视维修人员似乎更可信。

【5】in 考查介词。句意：由于制服对车库工人技术的信任也会增加。faith in对……的信心。

【6】benefits 考查名词复数。句意：制服也有很多实用的优点。

【7】more comfortable 考查比较级 句意：制服通常比百姓服饰更加舒服。从后面 than可看出这里需要用比较级，故more comfortable。

【8】is 考查主谓一致。句首Among the arguments for uniforms是表语，主语是their lack，of variety and the loss of individuality作lack的宾语。根据文章用的是一般现在时，故填is。句意：反对制服的观点是制服缺少多样性以及个性的缺失。

【9】Though/Although/While 考查连词。句意：尽管有很多种类的制服，任何特殊种类制服的穿着者都一般专一于某种，不会改变。表示让步关系，故填Though / Although / While。

【10】similarly 考查副词。句意：当人们看起来相像时，他们也会有相像的思考方式，说话方式以及行为方式。这里用副词修饰动词，故similarly。
