【解析】

试题分析：本文属于记叙文，讲述了著名的歌星Jimmy Durante,参加二战老兵的节目时，被两位失去一只胳膊的老兵所感动，久久不肯离去的故事。

1.Asked 考查分词做状语。本句中动词ask与句子主语构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词在句中做状语。句意：被请求参加为二战士兵举行的节目时候，他告诉他们他很忙只有几分钟的时间，但是如果他们不介意她只唱一首短歌并很快就离开，他会去参加这个节目。

2. but 考查连词。根据句意可知他很忙，但是如果他们不介意他只唱一首短歌并迅速离开，他会去参加这个节目。根据句意可知上下文之间是转折关系，所以使用but表示转折。

3. happily 考查副词。在英语中通常使用副词作状语，修饰形容词、副词或动词。本句中使用happily修饰动词agree。句意：节目的导演高兴地同意了。因为他是著名的歌手，能来参加已经很好了。

4.the 考查冠词。在英语中通常使用定冠词表示特指，本句中使用定冠词the特指在一段中提到的one short song。

5.staying 考查非谓语动词。固定搭配keep doing sth一直做某事。根据前一句He went through________ short song and then stayed.可知他唱了那首短歌以后并没有离开，而是留了下来。观众的掌声很热烈，他继续留了下来。

6.for 考查介词。介词“for+一段时间”表示某个动作持续了很长时间。本句表示他在舞台上停留的时间很长。

7.assistants 考查名词。动词assist意为“帮助”，本句中形容词性物主代词his的后面要接名词assistant“助手”，指他的一个助手拦住了他提醒他要离开了。

8.yourself 考查固定搭配。介词短语for oneself亲自；句意：如果你看前排，你就可以亲眼看见了。

9.whom 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是two men，whom指代先行词在句中做介词of的宾语，引导起这个非限制性宾语从句。

10. were doing 考查时态。本句表示在Jimmy Durante表演的时候，这两位老兵各用一剩下的手热烈鼓掌。所以使用过去进行时。

形容词：

一、形容词在句子中的作用及位置：

1. 作定语。

a. 形容词作定语时一般放在它所修饰的词的前面; I have a good book. He is a strange man.

b. 形容词修饰不定代词(由some, any, every, no+ thing, one, body构成)时要放在不定代词之后;

He has something important to tell you. There is nothing interesting in the book.

c. enough修饰名词时可放在名词之前或之后; 修饰形容词、副词和动词时一定要放在这些词之后.

They have enough money to buy the car. They have money enough to buy the car. The hole is large enough.

d. else只作后置定语,修饰疑问代词what, who, whom, whose和不定代词something, anything, nothing, somebody, anybody nobody等;( else作副词时, 修饰疑问副词when, where等放在其后) What else can you do? Is there anyone else?

e. 形容词短语作定语时必须放在它所修饰的词的后面。

All countries, big and small, should be equal. 任何国家,无论大小,一律平等.

f. 表示计量（长、宽、高、深）及年龄的形容词，应放在相应的名词之后。

2. 作表语。

在系动词和半系动词feel（感到），look（看起来），sound（听起来），smell（闻起来），taste（尝起来），become（变成）get（变成），turn（变成），fall（变成）, seem(似乎，好象）后，用形容词作表语。 He is young. I feel very tired.

That sounds interesting. He falls ill.

3. 作宾语补足语。

You should keep your room every day.

二、部分形容词只作定语或只作表语。

英语中大部分形容词既可作定语也可作表语，但部分形容词只作定语或只作表语。

1. 只能作表语的形容词

alone独自的, afraid害怕的, asleep睡着的, awake醒着的, alive活者的, ill生病的, well健康的，glad高兴的，unable不能的、不会的,frightened害怕；

2. 只能作定语的形容词

little小的,only唯一的,wooden木质的, woolen羊毛质的,elder年长的和复合形容词English-speaking说英语的,kind-hearted善良的, man-made人造的, take-away可以带走的。

一、貌似副词的形容词

下列单词词尾有ly, 但它们是形容词不是副词: lonely, friendly, lively, lovely

四、有些动词的过去分词能当形容词使用，如：worried, surprised, excited, interested, broken, lost.

五、一些常用形容词的辨析。 alone独自的,指形体上孤单一人。 孤独的，指精神上感到寂寞。 ill 生病的, glad高兴的,只能作表语，

sick生病的, happy高兴的,既可作表语，也可作定语； well ①（形容词）健康的，只能作表语；

②（副词）好(地），作状语

good好（的）（形容词），作表语和定语。

副词

一、副词的定义：

表示行为特征或性状特征的词叫副词。副词用于修饰动词、形容词、其它副词或全句，说明时间、地点、程度、或方式等概念。

二、副词的作用

（一）修饰动词，作状语。eg. He walked quietly into his bedroom.

（二）修饰形容词，作状语。

Li lie is wearing a very beautiful coat.

（三）修饰副词，作状语。 You walk too slowly.

（四）作表语。How long will she be away?

（五）作定语。

The people here are very kind to me.

三、副词的位置

（一）多数副词都可以放在它所修饰的动词后面，如果是及物动词，一般就放在宾语后面。Eg. She is jumping happily. The boy is doing his homework carefully.

（二）时间副词、地点副词和方式副词一般放在句末，如既有时间副词又有地点副词，则先地点后时间。

He played football on the playground yesterday afternoon.

（三）频度副词通常都放在be 动词、情态动词、第一个助动词之后，行为动词之前。

He always goes to school by bike. She is often late for school.

（四）程度副词修饰动词时，与频度副词相似，修饰形容词或副词时，放在它所修饰的词的前面。但enough, very much除外。 I don't quite agree with you. She is very beautiful.

The hole is big enough.（放在所修饰的词之后） I like apples very much.（放在句末）

（五）疑问副词放在特殊疑问句的句首，连接副词、关系副词通常放在从句的句首。 Why are you often late for school?

Can you tell me why you are often late for school?

（六）有少数副词在句中的位置非常灵活，常放在与它们关系密切的词前。如：even和only。如:

He can only answer the question. 他只会回答这个问题。

Only he can answer the question. 只有他会回答这个问题。
