【解析】

试题分析：该文章主要讲述了美国短篇小说作家欧.亨利的故事。

【1】used 考查非谓语动词。use 在此应用过去分词形式做定语，修饰name。

【2】himself 考查反身代词。teach oneself自学,主语是he, 反身代词用himself。

【3】where考查定语从句。 从句修饰先行词Texas，先行词在从句中做状语，定语从句用where引导。

【4】missing 考查现在分词化的形容词。Missing不见了的，go 为系动词，后面跟形容词。

【5】to have stolen 考查动词非谓语。欧.亨利被认为偷了钱，sb be believed to have done sth, 某人被认为做过某事。

【6】was sent考查时态语态。欧.亨利被关进了监狱，用过去时态被动语态。

【7】the 考查冠词。在监狱中的三年，特指，用the。

【8】mostly 考查副词。此处修饰动词write用副词。

【9】as/ though 考查关系词。该句句意为，人们喜欢他的故事，是因为尽管故事简单，但却总是让读者感到意外地，在故事末尾突然发生逆转。此处为as/though引导的让步状语从句

【10】with 考查介词。with a sudden change在句中做状语。
