【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了著名演员卡罗尔·隆巴德(Carole Lombard)，原名简·艾丽丝·彼得斯，12岁在街头和邻居家小孩一起打棒球时，被导演发现，从此以后开始自己演艺生涯的故事。

1.考察名词词义。通读全文，可知主要讲述的是一名女演员的故事，故选C。

2.考察形容词词义。根据文中"She died when she was only 34. In her ____2____life she made 70 movies"，可以知道艾丽丝在34岁就去世了，所以可以推知她的一生很短暂。故选B。

3.考察名词词义。根据文中"she was playing baseball in the ____3____near her home"，爱丽丝正在靠近家的地方打棒球，所以只有A符合语境。故选A。

4.考察动词词义。根据上下文" she was playing baseball in the street near her home. A movie director ____4____ her and decided to put her in a movie."可以推测，这个导演在爱丽丝正在玩棒球的时候看到了她。故选D。

5.考察动词词义。根据本文" She acted(表演) so well that she ____5____ the hearts of some people"，可知，爱丽丝表演的很好，所以赢得了很多人的喜欢，故选A。

6.考察名词词义。根据语境"In 1925, she had an agreement with a ____6____ studio, 20th Century Fox"，根据20th Century Fox，可知爱丽丝与一家电影公司签了合同。故选A。

7.考察名词词义。结合前文"Lombard’s real name was Jane Alice Peters"，及本题四个选项，可知name最符合语境，故选B。

8.考察动词短语词义。根据文中"The studio broke the agreement, but she did not ____8____. She continued to act"，其中but表转折，可知虽然和公司解约了，但是爱丽丝没有放弃表演。put away把……收起来， try out严密实验，make sure 确信、确保，故选C。

9.考察名词词义。联系上下文"It was Paramount Studio that made Lombard a ____9____. She made many movies for the studio"，可推知Paramount Studio(派拉蒙影业)，使得爱丽丝成为了一个电影明星，故选D。

10.考察连接词。根据文中出现的"She also married two of their stars. Lombard was married to actor William Powell for only 23 months. ____10____ seven years later, she married the great love of her life"，可知道，爱丽丝和两个男演员结过婚，第一段婚姻仅维持了将近两年的时间，然而，第二段婚姻中，爱丽丝找到了自己的幸福，所以表转折比较符合语境。故选B。

【名师点睛】完型填空的每段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。虽然文章已经被"挖"的支离破碎，仍能大概分析出这篇文章所发生的语言环境是本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了主要讲述了著名演员卡罗尔·隆巴德(Carole Lombard)，原名简·艾丽丝·彼得斯，12岁在街头和邻居家小孩一起打棒球时，被导演发现，从此以后开始自己演艺生涯的故事。知道了这些以后，思维就会变得具体起来。2.接下去进行第二遍的诸题攻破，边看边选。这遍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。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、动词短语，不规则变化等。例如第4题考察的就是动词的过去时，由于本文采取的是过去时态，所以本题应该选择过去时saw。 第8题考察的是动词词组的运用。文中作者想表达的是爱丽丝没有放弃表演，结和文中四个选项，只有give up符合语境。
