【解析】

本文是说明文。孔子学院是中国政府为推广汉语及文化交流而设置的全球性非营利性公共机构，它举办的各种活动受到了许多外国学生的欢迎。

1.考查非谓语动词。此处为现在分词短语作定语， A group of students ranging from 9 to 13 一群年龄从9到13岁的学生，用ranging。

2.考查形容词比较级。该句句意为，其目的是在中国和英格兰东北部之间建立更加紧密的学术、文化和社会联系。据此可知，此处用形容词比较级closer。

3.考查名词用法。由前面不定冠词an可知，该处用名词单数形式，填introduction。

4.考查动词时态和语态。根据句意：现在已经有学生在学习汉语方面取得了进步，并获得了学院颁发的成绩证书。可知，此处为谓语，主语pupils与award是被动关系，用被动语态，根据语境用现在完成时的被动语态，故填have been awarded。

5.考查不定冠词固定用法。a great way一种很好的方法，故填 a。

6.考查过去分词作定语。空格处为后置定语成分，且design与中心词institution之间为被动关系，故用designed。

7.考查形容词性物主代词。修饰名词用形容性物主代词，its language“它的语言”，即汉语。填its。

8.考查介词。根据句意可知，孔子学院通过教学计划和文化交流来促进中国语言和文化的发展，填through，通过 。

9.考查由what引导的宾语从句。分析句子可知，____9____they have arranged for the students此处为宾语从句，空格处在宾语从句中作have arranged 的宾语，故填what。

10.考查非限制性定语从句。先行词为“____9____they have arranged for the students and Qiang Xingdi for her weekly enthusiasm”，用关系代词which替代，which在定语从句中作主语。故填which。
