【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。如果你旅行或出国，有必要和当地人混在一起。这使你能够将你的语言技能运用到测试中，并了解更多关于当地文化的信息。在国外生活了很长一段时间后，本文整理了一份帮助你在异国他乡结交朋友的小窍门。

1.考查非谓语动词。allow sb. to do sth表示“允许某人做某事”，需要接动词不定式作宾语补足语，故填to put。

2.考查非谓语动词。Live这个动作和主语I之间是主谓关系，表示主动，且发生在谓语动词put together之前，故用现在分词的完成式作状语，故填Having lived。

3.考查不定冠词。此处是说一系列的小窍门，a list of表示“一长串的、一列”，故填a。

4.考查介词。at ease是固定搭配，表示“舒适、自由自在”，故填at。

5.考查非谓语动词。end up doing表示“以做某事而结束或告终”，需要接动名词作宾语，故填being。

6.考查副词。修饰形容词new用副词，故填entirely。

7.考查过去分词作后置定语。分析句子结构可知，此处填非谓语动词，Hours与spend之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，表示被动，故用过去分词作后置定语，故填spent。

8.考查形容词。此处用形容词作表语，confident表示“自信的”，故填confident。

9.考查反身代词。involve oneself in为固定搭配，表示“参与、让自己卷入”，故填yourself。

10.考查主语从句。it is likely that是主语从句，表示“有可能……”，it是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的从句，从句句意和结构完整，故填that。
