We were told _______ we should and shouldn’t do (for example, “Don’t talk to the stars”), and then we waited _______ five o’clock. That’s when the stars started coming.

The _______ started at six o’clock. We had to stand outside the doors. Then, when _______ came to go to the bathroom or have a cigarette (香烟), we were told to go and sit in their seats.

By the end, I was really _______, but I was happy, __________ during the evening, I sat behind Jim Carrey (he’s very tall!) and close to Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts.

1.D 2.A 3.A 4.C 5.B 6.C 7.D 8.A 9.B 10.B 【解析】 本文介绍了奥斯卡中最奇怪的工作座位填充员。当一个明星去洗手间的时候,一个座位填充员就会坐在这个空出的位置上,这样,电视镜头就不会显示到空着的座位。凯西讲述了自己当座位填充员的经历。 1.句意:当一个明星去洗手间时,座位填充者要坐在这个明星的座位上。 actors 演员;actresses 女演员;leaders 领导;stars 明星。when引导的是时间状语从句,根据主句a seat-filler sits in the star’s seat“座位填充者要坐在这位明星的座位上”,可知,是一位明星离开时才需要座位填充者补上,固定搭配one of the+名词复数,表示“……中的一个”,所以空格处填名词复数stars。故选D。 2.句意:当一个明星去洗手间时,座位填充者要坐在这个明星的座位上。 sits 坐;stands 站;lies 躺;sees 看。when引导的时间状语从句,主句谓语动词needs是一般现在时,从句也用一般现在时。根据下文凯西的经历we were told to go and sit in their seat,可知,座位填充者就是坐在某个明星的座位上。主语seat-filler是单数,所以谓语动词用三单形式sits。故选A。 3.句意:用这种方式,电视镜头就不会显示到空着的座位。 empty 空的;new 新的;good 好的;expensive 昂贵的。根据前文When one of the stars needs to go to the bathroom, a seat-filler sits in he star’s seat,可知,座位填充者的工作就是当明星离开时,座位填充者就要坐在这个位置上,这样,电视的镜头就不会显示座位是空着的,所以空格处填empty符合语境。故选A。 4.句意:凯西穆勒讲述了作为一名座位填充者的那晚经历。 with 跟;for 为了;as 作为;to 到。文章的第二段和第三段都是凯西做座位填充者的经历,由此可知,此空格处表示“作为一名座位填充者”,所以空格处填介词as。故选C。 5.句意:我们被告知应该做什么和不应该做什么。 how 怎样;what 什么;which 哪一个;where 哪里。根据句子结构,空格处所在句子是一个宾语从句。从句中动词do后缺少宾语,所以空格处用what作do的宾语。故选B。 6.句意:然后我们一直等到5点钟。 before 在……之前;after 在……之后;until 直到;D for 后加一段时间,表示“持续……时间”。根据That’s when the stars started coming“那时,明星们开始入场”,可知,空格处所在句子表示“我们一直等到五点”,空格处填until。故选C。 7.句意:这场表演在6点开始。 concert 音乐会;report 报告;programme 项目;show 表演。根据下文The show was three hours long“这场表演持续了3个小时”,可知,空格处填名词show。故选D。 8.句意:当某人去洗手间或抽烟时,我们被告知要去坐在他们的座位上。 somebody 某人;everybody 每个人;anyone 任何人;nobody 没人。根据When one of the stars needs to go to the bathroom, a seat-filler sits in he star’s seat,可知,当某位明星离开座位时,座位填充员就坐到他们的位置上。somebody用于肯定句中,anyone用于疑问句和否定句。原句是肯定句,所以空格处填somebody。故选A。 9.句意:到最后,我真的很累了,但是我很开心。 glad 高兴的;tired 疲惫的;strange 奇怪的;sad 悲伤的。根据前文The show was three hours long, and I only sat down five times“这个表演持续了大约3个小时,我只坐了5次”,可知,空格处表示“我真的很累”。故选B。 10.句意:但是我很高兴,因为在这个晚上,我坐在金•凯瑞旁边(他很高!) 而且靠近丹泽尔•华盛顿, 妮可•基德曼和朱莉娅•罗伯茨。 though 尽管;because 因为;unless 除非;if 如果。根据句意,前文表示“我很高兴”,后文表示“我坐在金•凯瑞旁边,而且靠近丹泽尔•华盛顿, 妮可•基德曼和朱莉娅•罗伯茨”,可知,后文是解释高兴的原因,所以空格处用引导原因状语从句的连词because。故选B。
