本文介紹68歲的老人Carole Gregory和她制作電影人物蛋糕的傳奇人生。

【1】句意：她經(jīng)常把一些蛋糕做成她最喜歡的電影角色的形狀。

toys玩具；roles角色；colors顏色；clothes衣服。根據(jù)“Carole Gregory, an amazing old woman, is putting movies into her life.”可知，把電影融入她的生活，所以是把蛋糕做成電影角色的形狀。故選B。

【2】句意：她靠賣蛋糕謀生。

eating吃；buying買；selling賣；watching觀看。根據(jù)前半句“She makes a living…”可知，她以此謀生，分析選項(xiàng)，賣蛋糕符合句意。故選C。

【3】句意：大約幾個(gè)月前，她認(rèn)真考慮了幾天。

seriously認(rèn)真地，嚴(yán)肅地；quickly迅速地；easily簡(jiǎn)單地；sadly傷心地。根據(jù)“…for a few days and then decided to accept a new challenge after watching one of her favorite movies.”可知，她做這個(gè)決定是經(jīng)過(guò)深思熟慮的。故選A。

【4】句意：雖然這些年來(lái)我做了成千上萬(wàn)的蛋糕，但這是我第一次嘗試改變。

Until直到；Unless除非；Because因?yàn)椋?/span>Although盡管。分析前后句可知，此處“thousands of cakes”和“my first time”構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。故選D。

【5】句意：我認(rèn)為把它變成一種愛好是最有趣的。

become變?yōu)椋?/span>waste浪費(fèi)；look看起來(lái)；lose丟失。根據(jù)后文“It’s exciting to put movies into my life!”可知，她認(rèn)為這很有趣，所以此處表示“把它變成一種愛好”。故選A。

【6】句意：有時(shí)她花很多天做一個(gè)電影蛋糕。

pays花費(fèi)（錢），主語(yǔ)是人，用“人+pay...for”結(jié)構(gòu)；costs花費(fèi)（錢），主語(yǔ)是物，用“物+cost+人+時(shí)間/錢”結(jié)構(gòu)；takes花費(fèi)（時(shí)間/錢），用“it takes sb 時(shí)間/錢+to do sth”結(jié)構(gòu)，it作形式主語(yǔ)，真正的主語(yǔ)是to do sth；spends花費(fèi)（時(shí)間/錢），主語(yǔ)是人，用“人+spend+時(shí)間/錢+（in）doing/on sth”結(jié)構(gòu)。根據(jù)主語(yǔ)“she”以及其后所加內(nèi)容“many days”與making a movie cake可知，用spends。故選D。

【7】句意：但是把蛋糕做成一種特殊的形狀使它更有生氣是一個(gè)巨大的挑戰(zhàn)。

delicious美味的；useful有用的；colorful多姿多彩的；lively活躍的，生動(dòng)的。根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境可知，此處表示使蛋糕栩栩如生，生動(dòng)的意思。故選D。

【8】句意：經(jīng)過(guò)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的努力，卡羅爾做了許多好吃的蛋糕。

doubted懷疑；bought買；created創(chuàng)造；discovered發(fā)現(xiàn)。根據(jù)后文“Among them, the predator (鐵血戰(zhàn)士) cake has been the most popular one so far.”可知，此處表示她創(chuàng)造出的作品即做出來(lái)的蛋糕。故選C。

【9】句意：每個(gè)人都為它瘋狂，它的照片在網(wǎng)上被觀看了一萬(wàn)多次。

sure當(dāng)然的；crazy瘋狂的；sorry抱歉的；worried擔(dān)心的。分析句子可知，此處構(gòu)成短語(yǔ)“be crazy about”，翻譯為“為……瘋狂”。故選B。

【10】句意：現(xiàn)在我在想我能做些什么來(lái)讓我的蛋糕做得更好。

when什么時(shí)候；what什么；why為什么；where哪里。分析句子可知，此處是賓語(yǔ)從句且引導(dǎo)詞在從句中作賓語(yǔ)，翻譯為“什么”。故選B。
