【解析】
本文讲述了一个人凭借勇气和自信从山洞逃出的故事。
【1】句意：每个人都是有创造力的，你只是需要找到开启它的方法。
the定冠词，后接名词。固定搭配the key to 关键所在。故答案为key。
【2】句意：一个人被石头绊倒了，他凭借着灯笼发出的一束光，正试图穿过一个黑暗的山洞。
was是谓语动词，后接动词的ing形式，表示正在做的动作。固定搭配try to do sth，尝试做某事。故答案为trying。
【3】句意：终于，他能够跟随照进山洞里的阳光前进了。
空处位置在句首，且后有逗号，可知空格处是一个副词，修饰整个句子。根据上文表示他正在试图寻找出路，可推断出下文表示，终于，他看到山洞里的阳光了，空格处是副词finally。故答案为Finally。
【4】句意：终于，他能够跟随照进山洞里的阳光前进了，这让他很开心。
根据句意，他看到山洞里的阳光这件事让他很开心，所以空格处是固定搭配make sb happy。整个段落用的是一般过去时，所以make也要改为过去时made。故答案为made。
【5】句意：当他走的更近些，他看见一块巨石像大象一样挡在他的前面，他感到很困惑。
空格处后elephant是名词，空处可填动词词性或介词词性。根据句意，是指挡在他面前的巨石像大象一样，所以空处用介词like。故答案为like。
【6】句意：很快，他意识到勇气是他克服障碍的唯一力量。
realize引导的是一个宾语从句，从句中空格处后was是谓语动词，可知空格处是缺主语，was是单数形式，可推断出主语是不可数名词或可数名词单数。根据句意，他现在被困在山洞里，只有勇气是他唯一有的能克服障碍的力量。故答案为encourage。
【7】句意：他用尽全身力气去推那块巨石，但是他失败了。
根据前文“He pushed the rock with all his strength”和空格后failed，句意是转折，所以用转折连词but。故答案为but。
【8】句意：他对自己说：“我要从这出去”。
to是介词，后面接名词或代词。根据前文他用尽力气去推巨石，但是失败了，他感到很绝望。可推断出在此处，他给自己打气，所以空格处用反身代词himself。故答案为himself。
【9】句意：巨石移动了一点点，他受到了鼓舞。
根据前文“This must have added to his power and given him more energy in pushing the huge piece．The rock began to move a little bit”，可知经过他的努力，巨石开始移动一点点，他受到了鼓舞。因此可判断此处要表达的是他更加努力地推巨石。所以填hard的比较级harder。故答案为harder。
【10】句意：他累了但是他决不放弃。
空格处后give up，是动词词组，空格处用副词修饰动词。根据下文“Slowly，the rock made way for him paying honor to all his efforts”，在他的努力下，巨石已经慢慢移动出一条路，所以可得知空格处是决不放弃，用副词never。故答案为never。
