【分析】
解题思路：先通读短文理解整体语境，再针对每个空格，结合句子时态、固定搭配、词性要求、特殊句型等语法知识逐一分析，确定括号内单词的正确形式。需重点关注时态标志词、固定短语结构、序数词/物主代词/名词复数的变化规则、比较级句型等考点。
【解析】
1. 由时间状语“in recent years”（近年来）可知，此处用现在完成时，主语“Sand painting”是单数，故填has been。
2. 固定搭配“be born”表示“出生”，描述过去的动作，主语是she，故填was born。
3. 主句“took up”是一般过去时，when引导的时间状语从句需用一般过去时，study的过去式为studied，故填studied。
4. 此处需用形容词性物主代词修饰名词“sand paintings”，故填her。
5. 表示“第五个”，需用序数词，five的序数词是fifth，故填fifth。
6. 固定搭配“depend on sb/sth to do sth”（依靠……做某事），故填to decide。
7. 描述现在的情况，主语是she，用一般现在时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故填wants。
8. work在此处意为“作品”，是可数名词，more后接可数名词复数，故填works。
9. 固定句型“It takes sb + 时间 + to do sth”（花费某人时间做某事），故填to create。
10. 固定结构“the + 比较级，the + 比较级”表示“越……，越……”，hard的比较级是harder，故填harder。
【答案】
1. has been 2. was born 3. studied 4. her 5. fifth 6. to decide 7. wants 8. works 9. to create 10. harder
