【分析】
本题为英语语法填空加词汇拓展题，解题思路如下：1. 先通读全文，理解吴玉禄的故事背景；2. 逐个分析每个空格：根据空格前后的词性、句子结构、语境、时态标志词、固定搭配等，对所给单词进行词性转换或选择合适的词汇；3. 最后完成词汇拓展部分，确定单词的词性和意思。
【解析】
1. 空格前有不定冠词a，需填名词，invent的名词形式为inventor（发明家），符合语境；
2. 此处表示“第一个”，需用one的序数词first；
3. 当地的村民不止一人，需用villager的复数形式villagers；
4. 前文提到村民觉得吴玉禄疯狂，后文说他不放弃梦想，是转折关系，句首用However（注意大写）；
5. so far是现在完成时的标志，主语为he，故用has created；
6. 对应前文的some，此处表示“其他的（机器人）”，用others；
7. 2009年是过去时间，主语I与invite是被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态was invited；
8. 固定搭配be proud of表示“以……为傲”，需用pride的形容词形式proud；
9. 被动语态中，引出动作执行者用介词by；
10. 修饰动词invent，需用certain的副词形式certainly；
词汇拓展：passionate是形容词，意为“热情的”。
【答案】
1. inventor 2. first 3. villagers 4. However 5. has created 6. others 7. was invited 8. proud 9. by 10. certainly；adj. 热情的
