About a hundred years ago, some 【5】(man) went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany 【6】(call) Hamburg.

They did not speak good English, 【7】 they ate good food. When some Americans saw them 【8】(eat) round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was.

【解析】

本文属于说明文，介绍hamburger词的来源。

【1】考查形容词比较级。根据“than”可知，此处为比较级结构，故填older。

【2】考查介词。此处为被动语态结构“be done by”。故填by。

【3】考查现在进行时。此处接在be动词之后，根据句意“说英语的人总是在造新词”可知，本句为现在进行时。故填making。

【4】考查副词。修饰动词know用副词really。故填really。

【5】考查名词。Man为可数名词，且有some修饰，故用复数形式men。故填men。

【6】考查非谓语形式。此处修饰city做后置定语，且与其在逻辑上是被动关系，故用其过去分词called。故填called。

【7】考查连词。根据前后句之间的逻辑关系可知，其为转折，故填but。

【8】考查动词非谓语形式。此处为结构see sb doing sth，故填eating。

【9】考查冠词。此处限定单数名词restaurant，又由于第一次提及，表示泛指“一家餐馆”，且restaurant首字母的发音为辅音音素，故用不定冠词a。故填a。

【10】考查动词非谓语形式。此处为修饰beef做后置定语，在逻辑上为被动关系，故用过去分词sold。故填sold 。
