【分析】
本题为语法填空，需结合句子时态、语态、非谓语动词及固定搭配等知识点解题。解题时先通读全文把握整体语境时态，再逐个分析每个空的句子结构：1. 第1空主语与动词是被动关系，时间为过去，用一般过去时被动；2. 第2空在will后用动词原形；3. 第3空主语是动作承受者，情态动词can后接被动结构；4. 第4空情态动词might后接被动结构；5. 第5空是固定搭配forget to do；6. 第6空描述物品材质，用一般现在时被动；7. 第7空情态动词can后接被动结构；8. 第8空是条件状语从句，主语单数用一般现在时；9. 第9空是过去的动作，用一般过去时；10. 第10空主语与动词是被动关系，时间为过去，用一般过去时被动。
【解析】
1. 由时间状语Last week可知用一般过去时，主语a tech expert与invite是被动关系，故填was invited。
2. 助动词will后接动词原形，故填introduce。
3. 主语objects与design是被动关系，情态动词can后接“be+过去分词”，故填be designed。
4. 主语the design与mess up是被动关系，情态动词might后接“be+过去分词”，故填be messed。
5. 固定搭配forget to do sth（忘记要做某事），故填to water。
6. 描述物品的属性，用一般现在时，主语it与make是被动关系，故填is made。
7. 主语we与remind是被动关系，情态动词can后接“be+过去分词”，故填be reminded。
