解析
【分析】本题为短文填空，需结合语境和语法规则逐个分析：首先通读全文，明确故事为过去时态；再针对每个空格，判断其语法属性（时态、非谓语、介词、代词、副词等），结合固定搭配和语境需求确定答案。具体思路：1. 第1空需用过去式，因故事发生在过去；2. 第2空介词without后接动名词；3. 第3空为固定搭配want to do，用不定式；4. 第4空表“作为”，用介词as；5. 第5空为固定搭配say to oneself，用反身代词；6. 第6空指代前文装置，用代词it；7. 第7空为固定搭配go on doing，用动名词；8. 第8空表持续时间，用介词for；9. 第9空用过去式，契合过去时态；10. 第10空修饰动词，用副词。
【解析】1. 考查一般过去时，全文为过去语境，故填asked；2. 考查介词用法，without是介词，后接动名词作宾语，故填paying；3. 考查固定搭配want to do sth，意为“想要做某事”，故填to help；4. 考查介词，as表示“作为”，此处指玩具蒸汽机作为礼物，故填as；5. 考查反身代词，say to oneself是固定搭配，意为“自言自语”，主语为Christopher，故填himself；6. 考查代词，指代前文他连接的缝纫机装置，故填it；7. 考查固定搭配go on doing sth，意为“继续做某事”，此处指继续转轮子，故填turning；8. 考查介词，for加时间段表示动作持续的时间，故填for；9. 考查一般过去时，teach的过去式为taught，契合过去语境，故填taught；10. 考查副词，修饰动词change，需用easy的副词形式easily，故填easily。
【答案】asked, paying, to help, as, himself, it, turning, for, taught, easily
