【解析】

本文講述了英語常見的諺語“As American as apple pie"的由來。

【1】句意：它描述的是那些最能體現(xiàn)美國文化的事物。

結合句意，此處表示這個習語描述了一些事物，根據(jù)前文的is可知，此處用一般現(xiàn)在時，主語it是第三人稱單數(shù)，謂語用第三人稱單數(shù)形式，故填describes。

【2】句意：但是為什么用蘋果派呢？

根據(jù)下一句的“Why not some other fruit， like a cherry or a peach?”為什么不是其他的水果可知，此處表示轉折，所以用but，且句子開頭字母要大寫。故填But。

【3】句意：原因可能就是一個叫 Johnny Appleseed的男子.

根據(jù)前文的“why use apple pie?”可知，此處回答原因，故填reason。

【4】句意：這些年來，有許多關于Jonny Appleseed的故事。

over+時間段，與現(xiàn)在完成時連用，故填over。

【5】句意：然而Johnny Appleseed是個真實人物。

根據(jù)后文的“It was the name given to a man named John Chapman.”可知，這是一個真實存在的人，修飾名詞person，用形容詞，故填real。

【6】句意：許多美國人認為是他讓蘋果在美國變得受歡迎。

consider sb/sth (to be )+形容詞，表示“認為某人或某物……”，根據(jù)was可知，此處用一般過去時，故填considered。

【7】句意：父親把自己知道的農業(yè)方面的所有知識都教給了他。

根據(jù)下文中的“it has been said that Johnny Appleseed cleared land and planted apple seeds（種子）in the Midwestern states of the US.”他清理土地，播種蘋果種子，這是與農業(yè)有關的。且此處的farm是“務農，耕種”，屬于動詞的性質，about是介詞，后面接動名詞。故填farming。

【8】句意：年輕的Chapman將父親的經驗牢記于心。

根據(jù)前文的“The father taught his son everything he knew about____7____.”可知，這是他父親教給他的，因此是父親的經驗，lesson“課程，經驗，教訓”符合語境。且lesson是可數(shù)名詞，此處表示不止一個經驗，要用復數(shù)形式。故填lessons。

【9】句意：蘋果給日常飲食提供了一些與眾不同的東西。

此處缺少謂語，用動詞，結合句意，蘋果提供了一些東西，根據(jù)前一句的were可知，此處用一般過去時，故填offered。

【10】句意：或許Johnny Appleseed的故事讓蘋果和蘋果派成為非常具有美國特色的東西。

此處位于句首，修飾整個句子，用副詞作狀語，句首字母要大寫，故填Perhaps。
