【解析】这篇文章主要讲了“第三文化的孩子们” 这个术语的出现背景以及“第三文化的孩子们”的学习及心理现状。

【1】考查副词。修饰形容词different，用副词，所以填totally。

【2】考查时态和语态。表示发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时；The term“third—culture kid”与use之间是被动关系，用被动语态，综上所述，应该使用一般过去时的被动语态，所以填was used。

【3】考查非谓语动词。research与其逻辑主语She之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词，填researching。

【4】考查代词。一般而言，“第三文化的孩子们” 受益于他们的不同文化体验。表示“他们的”，所以填their。

【5】考查名词单复数。many修饰可数名词的复数形式，所以填difficulties。

【6】考查固定短语。“第三文化的孩子们” 可能不能让他们自己完全适用于他们新的环境。adapt oneself to使自己适应，是固定短语，所以填to。

【7】考查不定式。这里it是形式宾语，不定式是真正的宾语，所以填to develop。

【8】考查语义理解。此外，对于一个“第三文化的孩子”来说，搬到一个其他国家比回到他们的祖国更容易。这里表示比较，所以填than。

【9】考查定语从句。___9___ she was born．是一个定语从句，关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where。

【10】考查连词。她不知道任何关于当前的电视节目或者流行趋势。表示“或者”，所以填or。
