本文介绍了魔术师科波菲尔。大卫科波菲尔称他为魔术师。他是制造或创造幻想的人。科波菲尔在一部名为《魔术师》的戏剧中扮演主角。科波菲尔是一个伟大的魔术师，但他也有其他的项目。和许多魔术师一样，科波菲尔对魔术的历史感兴趣。他创建了一个博物馆和图书馆，里面有书籍、物品和旧的医疗设备。通过记录历史，科波菲尔希望为未来保存魔法。

【1】句意：幻觉可能会让你感觉到实际上不存在的物品。

本题考查：主将从现；因为本题的主句是含有情态动词的一般现在时，根据需要从句多用一般现在时；因为主语是it，所以谓语用三单。故答案为：does。

【2】句意：大卫·科波菲尔称自己为魔术师。

分析句子的语境可知，大卫·科波菲尔是称自己为魔术师。因此应该用反身代词，he的反身代词为himself。故答案为：himself。

【3】句意：许多人对魔术感兴趣，但他们中的大多数人在12岁时还没有表演，也没有得到报酬。

本题考查most of them：他们中的大多数；语境是：他们中的大多数人在12岁时还没有表演，也没有得到报酬。故答案为：most。

【4】句意：科波菲尔是有史以来被允许加入美国魔术师协会的最年轻的人。

因为空前面有定冠词the，因此该题的形容词应该用最高级形式，young的最高级为youngest。故答案为：youngest。

【5】句意：这场演出比芝加哥历史上任何音乐剧都要长。

根据空前面的longer可知，该题应该是比较级，因此用than来做比较。故答案为：than。

【6】句意：科波菲尔是一个成功的魔术师，但他也有其他项目。

空前面有形容词huge，因此后面跟名词。succeed的名词为success。故答案为：success。

【7】句意：这些技巧可以帮助需要改善身体状况的医院患者。

本题考查need to do sth.：需要去做某事。故答案为：to improve。

【8】句意：该项目的患者可以自豪地说，他们可以做健康人做不到的把戏。

空前面的speak是动词，因此后面应该用副词来修饰，proud的副词为proudly。故答案为：proudly。

【9】句意：和许多魔术师一样，科波菲尔对魔术的历史感兴趣。

本题考查短语be interested in：对……感兴趣；故答案为：in。

【10】句意：他创建了一个博物馆和图书馆，里面有书籍、物品和旧的医疗设备。

因为books, articles and old medical equipment和动词keep之间存在着被动关系，因此应该用被动语态。根据后文的句子By keeping track of history, Copperfield hopes to save magic for the future.可知，该题的时态为一般现在时。故用一般现在时的被动句。其结构是：am/is/are+动词的过去分词。本题的主语是books, articles and old medical equipment，故be 动词用are。所以答案为：are kept。
