【解析】本文是说明文，对河北省承德市滦平县被誉为普通话之乡的原因加以简单介绍。

【1】考查非谓语动词。那些有着基本中文技能的外国人通常能询问有关餐馆或者如何到达地铁的建议。此处是how to get to the subway在句中作介词on的宾语。

【2】考查词性转换。但事实是许多人仍然发现在现实环境中使用这门语言很具有挑战性。在“find it+形容词+ do sth.”结构中，形容词作宾语补足语，故用形容词challenging。

【3】考查词性转换。有些人甚至认为在中国事实上没有人说普通话，至少说得不够自然。此处应用副词修饰 speaks Putonghua。

【4】考查非谓语动词。name在此作动词，意为“命名，给……取名”，是及物动词，与被修饰词a small county之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。

【5】考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是locals，空处在定语从句中作主语，故用who。

【6】考查冠词。the same (as)...“（与……）相同，一样”，是固定搭配。

【7】考查名词复数。根据语境可知，此处指“祖祖辈辈”，且generation是可数名词，故填generations。

【8】考查时态。20世纪50年代专家们对他们说话的方式加以录音。句中有明确的表示过去的时间，即in the 1950s，故使用一般过去时。

【9】考查介词。这个县继而自豪地称自己为“普通话之乡”。in turn“转而，相应地”。

【10】考查代词。因为The county和空处指的是同一事物，故此空应填入反身代词itself。
