【解析】
1. 定位原文第一段：What is science fiction? It's created according to future or scientific discoveries. 句中被动语态 It's created 对应表格中 Writers ___ science fiction 的主动语态，主语为复数，用一般现在时，因此填 create。
2. 定位原文第一段：However, Chinese science fiction writer Hai Ya takes a different path.句中 takes a different path 表示 “走了不同的道路 / 方式”，表格中 uses a different ___ to tell science fiction stories 对应此意，可同义替换为 way/method，因此填 way / method。
3. 定位原文第一段：He connects many of writings with Chinese culture and history. 句中 connects...with 表示 “与…… 有关”，可转换为固定搭配 have something to do with（意为 “与…… 有关”），表格中 have ___ to do with Chinese culture and history 对应此意，因此填 something。
4. 定位原文第二段：But he died young and not much is known about him. 句中 not much is known about him 表示 “人们对他了解不多”，表格中 people know ___ about him 对应此意，用 little 表示 “很少”，因此填 little。

6. 定位原文第三段：When creating the story, Hai Ya not only used his imagination but also studied history with care. 句中 used his imagination 表示 “运用想象力”，表格中 didn't create the story only ___ his imagination 对应此意，介词后用动名词形式，因此填 using。
7. 定位原文第三段：When creating the story, Hai Ya not only used his imagination but also studied history with care. 句中 with care 表示 “仔细地”，可转换为副词 carefully，表格中 he studied history ___ 对应此意，因此填 carefully。
8. 定位原文第四段：In fact, he isn't a full-time writer. Working in a bank, he is busy with his work. So he also explores "gaps" in his daily life. 结合前文 he explored a "gap" in history，可知他探索了 “历史和生活中的双重空白”，表格中 he explored ___ a "gap" in history and "gaps" in his daily life 对应此意，用 both 构成 both...and... 结构，因此填 both。
