【解析】

本文讲述了罗斯福狩猎的故事，为了让总统狩猎到熊，他们用了几天时间，找到一只老熊，然后把它绑在树上让总统射杀，但是总统看到老熊，让人放了它。这件事被画成漫画，后来老熊被做成了玩具，就是今天的泰迪熊。

1.句意：他喜欢在森林里打猎。

enjoy doing sth表示“喜欢做某事”，动名词作宾语。hunt的动名词形式为hunting。故填hunting。

2.句意：因为他是美国总统，人们组织这场狩猎想让他成功。

make sb+adj，形容词作宾补。succeed的形容词形式为successful。故填successful。

3.句意：但是在三天的走路、爬山和骑马之后，没有发现熊！

主语bears与谓语动词find之间是被动关系，且讲述过去的事，时态是一般过去时，因此此空为一般过去时的被动语态。be动词用were；find的过去分词为found。故填were found。

4.句意：猎犬和想到跟着熊一段距离，直到熊太累了，跑不动了。

too…to表示“太……而不能”，此空为动词不定式形式。run为动词，不定式为to run。故填to run。

5.句意：他命令让他们放了老熊。

let sb. do sth.表示“让某人做某事”，此空为动词原形。go为动词。故填go。

6.句意：一家玩具店的店主，Michtom先生通过漫画想到了一个主意。

此空为谓语动词，描绘过去的事，用一般过去时。come的过去式为came。故填came。

7.句意：从那以后，玩具熊就在全世界出名，在孩子们中很受欢迎。

根据时间状语since then可知，某一动作从过去某一时刻开始，延续至今，用现在完成时。主语the toy bear，助动词用has，be的过去分词用been。故填has been。
