【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文，講述了一個演說家如何通過氣球找名字的游戲讓大家領(lǐng)悟?qū)ふ倚腋５恼嬷B。

【1】句意：他想引起聽眾的注意，因此他創(chuàng)建了一個小組活動。

draw one’s attention 引起某人的注意；這里演說家想引起的肯定是“l(fā)isteners 聽眾”的注意，又此處要表達(dá)“聽眾”的所有格形式listeners’，故答案為listeners’。

【2】句意：然后，收集所有氣球并放在另一個房間。

由“Then, all of the balloons were ______2______ and put in another room”提示可知氣球要先“被收集”起來才能被放到一起，且氣球和“collect收集”是被動關(guān)系，所以要用collect的過去分詞形式collected，故答案為collected。

【3】句意：演講者隨后帶領(lǐng)小組到了滿是氣球的房間。

根據(jù)前文“Then, all of the balloons were ______2______ and put in another room”可知氣球都被放到了另一個房間，所以演講者要把小組“帶過去”，選擇單詞lead，又全文時態(tài)為一般過去時，所以用lead的過去式led，故答案為led。

【4】句意：每個人都在忙著尋找他或她的名字。

通過“He told each person to find the balloon that had his or her name within five minutes.”可知組員們要在5分鐘內(nèi)找到寫有自己名字的氣球，所以大家忙于“尋找”，選擇單詞search，構(gòu)成“search for尋找”的固定搭配，且根據(jù)“be busy doing sth.忙于做某事”，故search應(yīng)用動名詞形式searching，故答案為searching。

【5】句意：五分鐘過去了，但沒人能找到自己的氣球。

根據(jù)語境可知，5分鐘過去了，沒人“找到”自己的氣球，選擇動詞find，且could為情態(tài)動詞，情態(tài)動詞后接動詞原形，故答案為find。

【6】句意：每個人都開始互相詢問自己的名字。

由“... the speaker asked each person...try to find the person whose name was written on it.”提示可知，演講家建議大家找氣球上對應(yīng)名字的人，所以大家互相開始“詢問”對方名字，選擇動詞ask，又“start doing sth. 開始做某事”，所以填“asking”，故答案為asking。

【7】句意：這正是我們生活中發(fā)生的事情。

此句缺少副詞修飾句子“what happens in our life”，根據(jù)語境，演說家想表達(dá)的是找氣球上的名字和找幸福一樣，這“正是”我們生活中發(fā)生的事，填exact的副詞形式exactly，故答案為exactly。

【8】句意：但是有時候找到幸福的最好方法就是幫助別人。

根據(jù)“Everyone is busy looking for their own happiness, not caring what happens to others.”提示可知作者想表達(dá)的是：找尋幸福“最好的”方式就是幫助他人，而不僅僅只顧自己，此處填good的最高級best，故答案為best。

【9】句意：幫助他們找到幸福，你們自己就會獲得幸福。

前文已經(jīng)提到找尋幸福的最好方式就是幫助他人，幫助他人找到了幸福，“你們自己”也會幸福，本空格應(yīng)填you的反身代詞yourselves，故答案為yourselves。

【10】句意：同時，它將帶給您極大的樂趣。

幫助別人尋找幸福的同時自己也能獲得幸福，這毫無疑問會給我們自己帶來極大的滿足和樂趣，great修飾名詞，所以填please的名詞形式“pleasure樂趣”，故答案為pleasure。

短文填空題，要求根據(jù)句意語境和英文提示，運用所給單詞的正確形式填空，主要考查單詞形式，包括名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)和所有格，動詞的時態(tài)語態(tài)，非謂語動詞，動詞搭配，基數(shù)詞或序數(shù)詞的相互轉(zhuǎn)換，人稱、物主或反身代詞的相互轉(zhuǎn)換，形容詞、副詞和名詞的相互轉(zhuǎn)換等。如本題中的第2題考查被動語態(tài)，第1題考查名詞所有格等，這類題目難度不大，重點是掌握文意和句意，在理解的基礎(chǔ)上把握句子所要考查的語法，從而判斷所給單詞的正確形式。
