【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了篮球这项运动发明的过程，以及在世界范围的流行情况。

【1】考查名词。句意：篮球运动是由加拿大人奈史密斯博士发明的，他曾在一所大学担任体育教师。此处表示“教师”应用名词instructor。故填instructor。

【2】考查冠词。根据短语a lack of表示“缺乏，缺少”，故填a。

【3】考查形容词。句意：加拿大的冬天很冷，所以学生们不愿意做户外活动。结合上文were可知应填形容词作表语，且表示“不愿意的”应用unwilling。故填unwilling。

【4】考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知play在句中做非谓语动词，与逻辑主语game构成被动关系，故用过去分词。故填played。

【5】考查动词时态。本句中hang在句中做谓语，且根据上文In December of 1891可知动作发生在过去应用一般过去时。故填hung。

【6】考查代词。句意：在不到一年的时间里，美国和加拿大都开始打篮球了。根据短语both…and…“两者都……”，故填both。

【7】考查副词。根据上文Five years为一段时间，后跟副词later，表示“……之后”，故填later。

【8】考查介词。根据短语by that time表示“到那个时候”，故填By。

【9】考查副词。修饰动词spread应用副词quickly，表示“迅速地”。故填quickly。

【10】考查动词时态语态。本句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，且根据上文In 1906可知应用一般过去时，主语为a metal ring，谓语用第三人称单数。故填was used。

当分词做状语的时候，如果构成分词的动词与句子的主语构成主动关系，就使用现在分词做状语；当二者构成被动关系，使用过去分词做状语。如果分词的动作发生在谓语动词之前，就使用分词的完成式。如果分词与句子的主语没有关系，可以使用状语从句或者独立主格结构。

如第四小题，分析句子结构可知play在句中做非谓语动词，与逻辑主语game构成被动关系，故用过去分词。故填played。
