答案： 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了来自欧洲的景观设计师Mike在广州居住16年的生活经历及感悟。
1.because 【解析】状语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处应用连词。空后的“the city is full of life”是空前的“he likes Guangzhou very much”的原因，应用连词because。
2.along 【解析】介词。根据空前的playing chess in the park和空后的chatting in the market可知，此处描述活动场景，空格处应填方位介词。along the river沿河，符合语境。
3.enjoys 【解析】一般现在时和主谓一致。空格处为本句的谓语动词，空后为动名词短语。根据下文中的“When people are connected to a place, it brings life to it”可知，Mike喜欢看到这些时刻，选词enjoy。此处描述Mike的常规状态、习惯性行为，时态应用一般现在时；主语Mike为第三人称单数，谓语动词应用单三形式。
4.beauty 【解析】名词的数。根据空前的the和空后的of可知，此处应填名词。此处指城市之美在于人和环境，选词beauty。beauty作“美丽”讲时，为不可数名词。
5.explore 【解析】动词。根据空前的cycling around可知，此处指最近Mike养成了在周末到处骑行来探索城市的习惯，选词explore。此处表目的，根据空前的动词不定式符号to可知，此处填动词原形。
6.new 【解析】形容词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用形容词作定语,修饰名词look。此处指Mike说他喜欢看到旧城区呈现出一种新面貌，选词new。
7.something 【解析】代词。根据“but about making use of what’s already there in a creative way”可知，此处指对他来说，城市发展与建造新事物无关，而与以富有创造力的方式利用已有的事物有关。something某物，符合语境。
8.example 【解析】名词的数。分析句子结构可知，此处被形容词性物主代词His和形容词favorite修饰，应填入一个名词。此处指他最喜欢的一个实例是他家附近的一个汽车修理店，选词example。根据空后的is可知，此处应用可数名词的单数形式。
9.performances 【解析】名词的数。根据空前的“people get together there at night”及空后的of Guangdong opera可知，此处指人们晚上聚集在那里表演粤剧，选词performance。根据空前的some可知，此处应用可数名词performance的复数形式。
10.deeply 【解析】副词。根据下文“I came to realize that ... to keep a city alive.”可知，此处指Mike表示这深深地影响了他，选词deep。deep作副词时，强调物理上的深度或抽象概念的深厚性，不带有感情色彩。而deeply侧重于主观情感、态度或理解、认知的深刻性，带有感情色彩。此处应用副词deeply修饰谓语动词influenced。
