【解析】 本文為記敘文。9歲的杰克·戴維斯給NASA寫了一封信，申請保護行星主任一職。他認為盡管他很小，但他認為他能勝任這份工作。這封信在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上引起了廣泛的關注。

【1】 考查非謂語。9歲的Jack Davis寫給美國宇航局的信，在信里申請一份與宇航員一起工作。分析句子可知，本句中的9-year-old Jack Davis 作介詞by的賓語，而Jack Davis 的ask作賓語補足語，二者是主動關系，所以要用動詞的ing 形式，因此本題中要填 asking。

【2】 考查固定搭配。apply for…為固定搭配，意為“申請…..”，故填for 。

【3】考查副詞。盡管他很小，但他認為自己能勝任這份工作。分析本句可知，形容詞perfect在句子中修飾動詞be fit，修飾動詞要用副詞形式，故填 perfectly。

【4】 考查冠詞。我九歲，但我認為我是一個很恰當?shù)娜诉x。分析句子可知，本句中表示量詞“一”。故填a。

【5】考查時態(tài)。根據(jù)本句中的時間狀語in the past years。可知，本句要用現(xiàn)在完成時。故填 have seen。句意：在過去的幾年里，我看了所有的有關太空和外星類的電影。

【6】考查名詞復數(shù)。根據(jù)本句后的such as his great video game skills and his youth,可知，有很多因素。故填 factors。

【7】考查定語從句。如他的非常棒的電子游戲技巧和他的年輕，這將使他很容易學會像外星人一樣思考。分析句子可知，本句中的先行詞是his great video game skills and his youth ，在從句中做主語，指物，故填which。

【8】 考查比較級。這項工作更多的是關于科學和生物學，而很少與外星人作戰(zhàn)。根據(jù)前一句more about science a可知，本句中要用比較級，因此用little的比較級less。

【9】 考查謂語動詞。官員必須確保沒有新的物種或植物被帶到其他行星。分析句子可知，make sure 后的賓語從句中的主語是 no new species or plants，而其謂語動詞bring，與主語是被動關系。主語是復數(shù)，本句是一般現(xiàn)在時，故填 are brought。

【10】考查名詞。 動詞excite被a lot of 修飾，作其賓語，因此要用名詞形式，故填excitement。
