【解析】

本文是说明文，介绍了几种起源于战争时期、现在还很流行的食物。

1.考查时态和语态。句意：在某些情况下，为士兵或战时创造出的食物也在家庭中流行起来。句子主语foods和create之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，应用被动语态；根据时间状语during times of war，定语从句应用一般过去时，因此用一般过去时的被动语态；定语从句主语是复数形式foods，从句谓语动词应用复数形式were done；也可用过去完成时的被动语态形式had been done，强调定语从句谓语动词的动作“为士兵或战时创造出食物”在主句谓语动词的动作became popular 之前发生，即“过去的过去”。故填had been created/were created。

2.考查情态动词。句意：第二次世界大战开始的时候，可口可乐公司德国分公司不能从美国得到用于生产软饮料的糖浆。根据句意，因此应用情态动词could，意思为“能够”。故填could。

3.考查介词。句意：因此，该公司开发了一种新饮料来满足市场需求，并将其命名为芬达。芬达是德语“fantastic”的缩写。表示“用……语言”，用介词in。故填in。

4.考查从属连词。句意：虽然咖喱在印度已经存在，为了恢复海员的健康，它由英国被引进到日本。根据句意，前一句说“咖喱是印度的食品”，后一句说“咖喱被引进到日本”，前后两个句子之间语义转折，因此用Although/Though/While引导让步状语从句，意思为“虽然”，表示转折意义。故填Although/Though/While。

5.考查非限制性定语从句。句意：据说，为了吸引新来者，日本海军最初承诺不限量供应白米饭，白米饭在日本被视为一种地位很高的食物。分析句子结构，空后是定语从句，修饰先行词white rice，指物，因此用which引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。

6.考查非谓语动词。句意：观察到英国海军的咖喱标准餐，其中含有丰富的维生素B1、大量的肉和面粉，日本海军开始给水手提供一样的饭食。 主句的主语the Japanese navy和observe之间为逻辑上的主动关系 ，因此用现在分词作状语；也可用现在分词的完成时形式having done，强调分词的动作在主句谓语动词的动作之前发生。故填Observing/Having observed。

7.考查时态和语态。句意：咖喱非常好吃，很快就传遍了日本。spread可以作及物动词，也可以作不及物动词；如果spread作不及物动词， 用主动形式；句子叙述的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时；如果spread作及物动词，句子主语 it和spread之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，应用被动语态，因此用一般过去时的被动语态； spread是不规则变化动词，过去式为spread，过去分词为spread。故填spread/was spread。

8.考查连接词。句意：它最初是在首尔附近的美国军事基地制作的，由于当时食物匮乏，就用任何可以得到的食材。根据句意，此处应是“无论什么（材料），不管什么（材料）”，应用whatever引导宾语从句。故填whatever。

9.考查非谓语动词。句意：这种由火腿、美国奶酪和方便面等熟肉烹制而成的美味炖菜很快流行起来。 短语consist of“由……组成”，不用于被动语态；句子主语the tasty stew和consist之间为逻辑上的主动关系，请用现在分词做后置定语。故填consisting。

10.考查代词。句意：幸运的是，其中一些食物仍然存在，可以让人们感到快乐和满足。根据句意，此处是“keep +宾语+形容词”结构，所填词应是代词；可用everyone，泛指“所有人”，也可用代词us。故填everyone/us。
