【解析】

本文介绍了明朝地理学家、旅行家和文学家徐霞客。

【1】句意：出生在富裕的江阴家庭，徐很小就对各地的书籍产生了兴趣，想去旅游。

born into：生于……样的家庭；本句是过去分词做状语，表示动作发生的背景；注意句子的开头，首字母大写。故填Born。

【2】句意：他现在负责家庭农场，按照传统要求照顾60岁的母亲。

本句是as引导的方式状语从句，本句缺少主语，可知填名词。根据上文“When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams.（然而，当他18岁的时候，徐的父亲去世了，看起来他的旅游梦也死了。）”可知此句是“他现在负责家庭农场，按照传统要求照顾60岁的母亲。” tradition传统；故答案为tradition。

【3】句意：她理解儿子对旅行的热爱，重视儿子从旅行中获得的知识，这个有现代思想的女人拒绝让儿子待在家里。

根据不定冠词the，可知填名词；根据后面“从旅游中获取的”，可知是knowledge知识，不可数名词；故答案为knowledge。

【4】句意：她同意，当农活少的时候，徐可以每年出去旅游三个月。

本词修饰不可数名词farm work可知填形容词；根据语境可知使用比较级less(更少的，较少的，修饰不可数名词)，故填less。

【5】句意：于是，20岁那年，在母亲的支持下，徐第一次启程，完全抛下他的母亲和新婚的妻子。

leave behind：抛下，留下；本句是现在分词（leaving behind）做伴随状语。故答案为leaving。

【6】句意：在接下来的30年里，他每年都会重复这句再见。

本句是过去将来时，其结构是would do sth.，可知填动词原形；repeat：重复；根据句意可知填repeat。

【7】句意：虽然很富有，但徐避免了舒适的旅行，喜欢步行去几乎任何地方。

本词修饰名词travel可知填形容词。根据“Although rich,… preferring to go almost everywhere on foot.（虽然很富有，……，喜欢步行去几乎任何地方）”可知“徐避免了舒适的旅行”。comfortable：舒适的，舒服的，形容词。故答案为comfortable。

【8】句意：这样他就可以详细地研究环境，得到一个真实的自然世界的图像。

本词修饰名词picture of the natural world（自然世界的画面）可知填形容词；根据上文“这样他就可以详细地研究环境”可知“得到一个真实的自然世界的图像。”true：真实的，形容词；故答案为true。

【9】句意：在这些年里，他周游了整个明朝王国，仔细研究他走过的土地，并将他的经历和许多发现记录在日记中。

本句是and连接的两个现在分词短语作伴随状语（and是并列连词，它连接的两个动词形式应一致）；record：记录，record his experiences and many discoveries：记录他的经历和许多发现，record的现在分词是recording。故答案为recording。

【10】句意：这本曾经超过50万字的日记，最终成为《徐霞客游记》。

本句是过去将来时，其结构是would do sth.，可知填动词原形；become：成为；故答案为become。
