【解析】

想要了解一个全新的文化，最好的方式就是交一个来自世界其他地方的朋友。Jesco就是这样一个朋友。他在我们工厂做工程师，很快我们成为了朋友。我们经常一起聚餐，畅聊。Jesco非常想一直留在中国，所以他找了一个中国女孩做妻子。我真的为他感到高兴。

1.句意：上个月，我认识了一个叫Jesco的俄罗斯朋友。

name名词；named叫……名字的，现在分词；names名字，复数；calls称呼，第三人称单数形式。结合句意可知，此处表示“一个叫Jesco的俄罗斯朋友”，现在分词作后置定语。故选B。

2.句意：他是一个25岁工程师，他的公司将他派到中国工作两年。

此空为形容词作定语，修饰名词，25-year-old为形容词。故选A。

3.句意：Jesco在我们公司有两项任务：一个是教我们的工人如何使用机器；另一个是保证机器每天运行良好。

what什么；when什么时候；how怎样；why为什么。“疑问词+不定式”作宾语，结合句意可知，此处表示“如何使用机器”，即how to use…。故选C。

4.句意：Jesco在我们公司有两项任务：一个是教我们的工人如何使用机器；另一个是保证机器每天运行良好。

others泛指三者或三者以上的“另一些”，可单独使用；other泛指三者或三者以上的“另一些”，修饰名词；another泛指三者或三者以上的“再一个”；可单独使用，也可修饰名词；the other特指两者中的“另一个”。根据“Jesco has two tasks…”可知此处是两者中的“另一个”，用the other表示。故选D。

5.句意：我们很快成为好朋友，我们互相学到很多。

a little一些；a few一些；a lot of很多；a lot非常；许多。a little，a few和a lot of修饰名词的；a lot修饰动词，放在动词后。故选D。

6.句意：Jesco对房子非常满意。

satisfied感到满意的；surprised感到惊讶的；excited兴奋的；interested感兴趣的。be satisfied with sth.表示“对某物满意”。故选A。

7.句意：然后我们一起度过愉快的时光，享受美味的一餐，也享受一次愉快的聊天。

enjoy享受，动词原形；enjoying动词ing形式；enjoys第三人称单数形式；to enjoy不定式。此空是动词ing形式作伴随状语，表示动作伴随主句谓语动作同时发生。故选B。

8.句意：有一次，当我们聊天时，他突然变得沉默。

carefully仔细地；simply简单地；suddenly突然地；recently最近。结合句意可知，此处表示说话的时候突然发生的事。故选C。

9.句意：我建议他可以找一个中国女孩做妻子。

look through浏览；look after照顾；look out当心；look for寻找。根据“He thought it a good idea, and he soon found one.”可知作者建议他找一个中国女孩做妻子，然后他很快找到一个。故选D。

10.句意：从那时起，我就没机会去他家做客了。

From then on从那时起；After all毕竟；In my opinion依我看来；Once in a while偶尔；有时。根据上文他找到妻子可推测，从找到妻子开始，作者就没去做客了，A选项符合句意。故选A。
