答案： 语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了翻译家许渊冲的故事。
1.was sitting 考查时态。本段时态为过去时，此处也用过去的时态，结合并列连词and后面的staring可知，应用过去进行时，故填was sitting。
2.himself 考查代词。by oneself独自，主语为he，故填himself。
3.valuable 考查形容词。空后为名词time，需要用形容词来修饰，value的形容词形式为valuable，意为“宝贵的”，故填valuable。
4.to spread 考查动词的非谓语形式。此处为“连接代/副词+动词不定式”结构，how to spread在本句中作explore的宾语，表示探索如何传播……，故填to spread。
5.on 考查介词。在具体的某一天前用介词on。
6.was influenced 考查动词的时态和语态。根据句意可知，主句主语he是动词influence的承受者，故用被动语态。因动作发生在过去，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was influenced。
7.French 考查名词。France法国，French法语，根据并列连词and前的English可知，这里指语言，故填French。
8.a 考查冠词。have a creative mind有一个创造性的头脑，此处表泛指，且creative以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a。
9.Although/Though 考查连词。设空处所在句逗号前后存在让步关系，且位于句首，首字母需大写，故填Although/Though。
10.harder 考查副词比较级。根据比较级的特殊句式“the+比较级，the+比较级”可知，此处应填hard的比较级，故填harder。
