【解析】

本文主要介绍一个叫Chris Strolin的老人，提出了以新的理解单词的方法——通过押韵的方式，并希望通过五行打油诗的形式制作一部字典。

【1】句意：有一个男人提出了他自己的方法去理解单词的意思——通过押韵。根据own,可知此处填一个名词，the way to …的方法，故答案是way。

【2】句意：他用以相同发音或者相似发音结尾的单词。这是一个限制性定语从句，缺少关系词，words是先行词，关系词在从句中做主语，所以此处需填一个指物的关系代词，故答案是that。

【3】句意：Chris Strolin。一个来自美国的老人，一直从事于一本完全由五行打油诗构成的英语字典。be/come from sp来自某地，此处介词短语作后置定语，故答案是from。

【4】句意：五行打油诗是一种短诗，有五行押韵。本句是个定语从句，that从句修饰先行词，所以此处处应填一个单数可数名词，结合句意，故答案是poem。

【5】句意：当Strolin把这个想法介绍给爱好字典的朋友的时候，他说对于这本字典的想法开始于一个玩笑。此空应填一个谓语动词，一般过去时，结合句意及introduce sth to sb，故答案是introduced

【6】句意：2004年，他决定开始他自己的线上五行打油诗字典。此空应该填一个谓语动词，一般过去时，结合句意及decide to do sth，故答案是decided。

【7】句意：因为这项工作不容易，Strolin邀请其他人帮忙提出想法，把他们的五行打油诗加入到字典里。这是个前因后果的句子，结合句意可知是因为这项工作太难，他才邀请了别人帮忙，故答案easy。

【8】句意：到目前为止，已有超过97,000的押韵定义被创造了，今年这个数字预计达到100,000。此处With的复合结构，结合句意想要已有的97,000得数据达到100,000.故答案是reach。

【9】句意：这部字典本身就需要很多年才能达成。Many 后加可数名词的复数，根据下文The dictionary itself will be growing for many ___9___ to come可知，这部字典还需要很多年才能完成，故答案是years。

【10】句意：他说他希望他的孙子，也许他们的孩子，能够介入这份工作完成它。And表并列，所以此处应填一个动词原形，结合句意，可知答案是finish。
