【解析】

試題分析：美國人追求個性和多樣化，但是他們又很追崇制服，不管是什么樣的制服他們都喜歡。有一部分原因是制服讓人看起來更專業(yè)、更有信任感，而多樣的制服也并沒有破壞他們的個性。

【1】an 考查冠詞。缺少冠詞，并且elevator是以元音音素開頭的，同時根據(jù)后文 a five-star general，也可知填an。

【2】professional考查形容詞。 Look是系動詞，用形容詞修飾，用professional。

【3】who/that 考查關系詞。 缺少關系代詞，指人可以用who/that。

【4】to inspire考查動詞。tend是不及物動詞，Tend to do固定用法，用 to inspire。

【5】in考查介詞。Have faith in 固定短語，信任，填in。

【6】benefits 考查名詞。 Practical形容詞，后接名詞，benefit是可數(shù)名詞，用復數(shù)，填benefits。

【7】more comfortable考查比較級。 后跟了than可知是比較級，填more comfortable。

【8】is考查時態(tài)。是眾多爭論里面一條，故填is。

【9】Though/Although/While考查連詞。there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it這兩句是轉(zhuǎn)折關系，并且缺少的詞在句首，可用的詞較多，可填Though/Although/While。

【10】similarly考查副詞。修飾動詞act，用副詞，故填similarly。
