【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了迈克尔和他的导盲犬罗塞尔在一次火灾中成功逃生的经历，这诠释了信任和团队合作的意义。

1.考查非谓语动词。句意：当迈克尔工作时，他的导盲犬，一只名叫罗塞尔的拉布拉多猎犬，在他的脚边打盹。a Labrador retriever 与name之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，表示被动，用过去分词作后置定语，故填named。

2.考查情态动词。句意：迈克尔牵着罗塞尔，相信那条狗会带他脱离危险，于是他们就朝楼梯井走去。此处表示过去的意愿，表示“会……”，故填would lead。

3.考查介词。句意：（下了）大约十层楼后，楼梯间变得拥挤而炎热，燃料的烟雾使人呼吸困难。分析句子结构并结合句意可知此处缺少介词，表示“在……之后”，故填After。

4.考查连词。句意：罗塞尔一直陪着那个女人，直到她终于摸了摸它，让自己平静下来，然后继续走下楼梯。分析句子结构并结合句意可知此处缺少连词，表示“直到”，故填until。

5.考查非谓语动词。句意：他拒绝了（他们的帮助），但让他们爱抚罗塞尔，为许多消防队员提供了他们最后一次无条件的爱。He与provide之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，表示主动，用现在分词作伴随状语，故填providing。

6.考查宾语从句。句意同上，此处为宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，故填what。

7.考查定冠词。句意：大概45分钟后，迈克尔和罗塞尔到达了门厅。lobby是可数名词，需要用冠词修饰，此处特指“整栋大楼的门厅”，故填the。

8.考查形容词最高级。句意：在那一刻，他们认为自己是世界上最幸运的人。根据句意可知此处表示“最幸运的”，应该用形容词最高级形式，故填the luckiest。

9.考查时态语态。句意：在接下来的几个月里，迈克尔成了盲人导盲犬组织的发言人，而罗塞尔正是在这个组织里接受训练的。Roselle与train之间是被动关系，而且这一动作发生在became之前，也就是过去的过去，所以用过去完成时的被动语态，故填had been trained。

10.考查非限定性定语从句。句意：2004年，罗塞尔患上了血液病，使她无法导盲和旅行。此处为非限定性定语从句，关系词指代整个主句内容并在从句中作主语，故填which。
