1．解析：written 考查过去分词作定语的用法。设空处作后置定语，修饰“The Forest in Full Bloom”，因write与“The Forest in Full Bloom”之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且write所表示的动作已完成，故填written。
2．解析：In 考查固定结构。In addition to...意为“除了……之外”。 3．解析：were 考查主谓一致。设空处所在句主语的主干为the manuscripts，谓语动词应用复数形式，且由语境可知，此处应用一般过去时，故填were。
4．解析：extremely 考查副词。设空处作状语，修饰形容词close，故填extremely。
5．解析：where 考查连接词。it是形式主语，设空处引导的主语从句是真正的主语，且设空处在从句中作表语，表示地点，故填where。
6．解析：importance 考查名词。设空处作宾语，表示“重要性”，故填importance。
7．解析：adding 考查动词-ing形式作状语的用法。设空处作状语，museum official与add之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且add所表示的动作与谓语动作同时发
生，故填adding。
8．解析：be made 考查被动语态。manuscripts与make之间是被动关系，且设空处前有cannot，故填be made。
9．解析：whose 考查关系代词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰Mishima，且在从句中作定语，故填whose。
10．解析：impressive 考查形容词作定语的用法。设空处作定语，修饰works，表示“令人印象深刻的”，故填impressive。
