【解析】本文介绍了68岁的老人Carole Gregory和她的制作电影人物蛋糕的传奇人生。

1.根据前文Carole Gregory, an amazing old woman, is putting movies into her life可知，Carole Gregory把他最喜欢的电影人物制成蛋糕的形状。故选B。

2.根据I’ve made thousands of cakes over the years可知，文中人物靠卖面包为生。故选C。

3.根据文后for a few days可知，她做这件事是经过认真地考虑的。认真的seriously。故选A。

4.看电影可说watch a movie。故选B。

5.句意：虽然这些年我制作了太多的蛋糕，但这是我第一次尝试改变。文中引导的让步状语从句，应填although。故选D。

6.句意：我想使它变成我的习惯是很棒的。变成用become。故选A。

7.上文中说她要制作电影人物蛋糕，本句是说把电影融入生活是一件令人兴奋的事。故选B。

8.物或某件事作主语，表示花费时间时用cost。故选B。

10.制作蛋糕用make。故选C。

15.句意：我正在想怎样把我的蛋糕制作得更好。怎样用how。故选C。

点晴：首先，完型填空的首句一般都是完整的，其目的是给答题者一个整体思路，顺着这个整体思路进行第一遍的"跳读"，也就是不看选项通读全篇。接下去进行第二遍的诸题攻破，边看边选。这篇做起来是最费时间的，因为每选一个空，都要考虑到有关的语义搭配、固定句式、词组、时态等各个方面。比如，如果选项是动词，那么，考查的可能是时态，动词过去式、过去分词的规则、不规则变化；如果选项是介词，考查的可能是固定搭配或词组；如果选项是连词，则考的可能是上下文的顺承转接等等。.这就要求答题者有较深的基础知识功底，同时，要能做到上下呼应，左右连接。在填完所有的空之后，就进入到了第三遍的纠错过程。这一步要求把所有的选项一一对应到相应的空中，把它作为一篇完整的阅读文章来通读、复查。
