【解析】

本文为说明文。本文介绍了旧金山的唐人街。

【1】考查形容词最高级。句意：旧金山的唐人街是美国最大的，也是最古老的。分析句子成分和根据句意可知，此处与后文and also the oldest并列，用最高级形式。故填the biggest。

【2】考查介词。句意：这里最初是中国移民的居住区，后来变成了中国文化的中心。根据句意可知，此处应填介词，作“作为”之意，故填as。

【3】考查动词时态。根据语境可知，本句用一般现在时，主语为most of the residents为复数，故填are。

【4】考查被动语态。根据时间状语in the 1906 earthquake可知，该句用一般过去时，另主语为most of Chinatown为单数，与所给动词之间为被动关系，故应用一般过去时被动语态，故填was destroyed。

【5】考查副词。句意：传统上，游客通过传说中的龙门进入唐人街，这是用中国捐赠的材料建造的。分析句子结构可知，此处应为副词作状语，修饰句子。故填Traditionally。

【6】考查动词搭配。游客们也可以花上几个小时去探索中国有趣的风景、气味和声音。本句考查“spend +一段时间 + doing sth”结构，意为“花时间做某事”。故填exploring。

【7】考查名词复数。句意：唐人街的商店提供各种独特的纪念品、商品和服装。根据句意可知，此处做主语，根据谓语动词offer可知，应用名词复数，故填stores。

【8】考查定语从句。句意：那里有中国茶叶店，游客可以在那里品尝和购买各种各样的中国茶叶。分析句子结构可知，所给空格后的句子为定语从句，修饰先行词Chinese tea shops，先行词在定语从句中作地点状语，故填where。

【9】考查主语从句。句意：但也许许多游客和旧金山人最珍视的是唐人街的食物。分析句子结构可知，___9___ many tourists and San Franciscans treasure most about Chinatown为主语，且主语从句中缺少宾语成分，故用what引导，故填what。

【10】考查动词不定式。句意：它们让从未到过中国的游客亲身体验中国传统文化。分析句子结构可知，本句使用allow sb. to do sth.，意为“允许某人做某事”，故该句中应用不定式作宾语补足语，故填to experience。
