【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。主要講述了香港插畫(huà)家麥家碧對(duì)畫(huà)畫(huà)的興趣及創(chuàng)作經(jīng)歷。

【1】句意：作為一個(gè)孩子，她尤其喜歡畫(huà)畫(huà)。

空格后面是動(dòng)詞，副詞修飾動(dòng)詞，especial是形容詞，副詞形式為especially。故答案為especially。

【2】句意：然而，麥家碧很幸運(yùn)。

根據(jù)后一句“她的老師把她介紹給了許多世界知名的插畫(huà)家們”可知，麥家碧是很幸運(yùn)的。luck是名詞，系動(dòng)詞后面跟形容詞構(gòu)成系表結(jié)構(gòu)，故答案為lucky。

【3】句意：麥家碧給他們寫(xiě)了許多信件征求他們對(duì)自己作品的意見(jiàn)。

to是介詞，后面跟人稱(chēng)代詞賓格形式，故答案為them。

【4】句意：這位年輕的藝術(shù)家從這些著名的插畫(huà)家那里學(xué)到了很多知識(shí)。

這里指的是麥家碧，art 意為“藝術(shù)”，“藝術(shù)家”為artist。故答案為artist。

【5】句意：經(jīng)過(guò)多年的努力，麥家碧創(chuàng)造了許多有趣的角色。

has是助動(dòng)詞，后面跟動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞構(gòu)成現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，故答案為created。

【6】句意：她也不喜歡和陌生人交談。

talk to sb. 表示“對(duì)某人說(shuō)話”，這里泛指所有的陌生人，故用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故答案為 strangers。

【7】句意：麥家碧用大量時(shí)間畫(huà)畫(huà)而不是去準(zhǔn)備采訪。

instead of是介詞短語(yǔ)，后面跟動(dòng)名詞形式，故答案為preparing。
