【解析】

本文属于记叙文，讲述美国第一个女性建筑师Louise的事迹及其影响。

1.考查副词。句意：那时候的年轻建筑师通常在专业建筑师绘图室里学习专业技能。分析句子可知，修饰动词learned用副词，故用usually。

2.考查动词的时态。句意：但是Louise成功地让一位著名的建筑师给她一个机会。本句为manage to do sth努力做成某事，manage在句中作谓语，讲述过去的事情，故用一般过去时managed。

3.考查介词。句意：她从早上六点工作到晚上六点。本句为结构from…to，故用from。

4.考查连词。句意：但是她工作的时候学了很多，同时雇主允许她用他的大的书库。分析句子可知，虽然钱不多，但是学了很多，前后句为转折关系，故用连词but。

5.考查代词。句意：但是她工作的时候学了很多，同时雇主允许她用他的大的书库。分析句子可知，修饰名词，故用形容词性物主代词，故用his。

6.考查形容词。句意：她打了广告，内容是全国第一个专业的女建筑师准备进入建筑行业。修饰名词用形容词，故用professional。

7.考查动词的时态。句意：她打了广告，内容是全国第一个专业的女建筑师准备进入建筑行业。分析句子可知，该句缺乏谓语，同时为直接引语，故用一般现在时，故用is。

8.考查名词。句意：她认为不能因为是女性就只能设计私人房屋。分析句子可知，house为可数名词，同时设计应该是很多房屋，故用复数形式houses。

9.考查动词不定式。句意：她做的很出色，鼓励了其他女性成为建筑师。本句为inspire的用法inspire sb to do sth激发某人做某事，故用不定式to become。

10.考查冠词。句意：她为女性的合理待遇和同工同酬积极奔走。分析句子可知，由于有of women作后置定语，故fair treatment特指女性的合理待遇，故用定冠词the。
