Answer 1

【答案】

【1】if/though

【2】be given

【3】Unluckily

【4】the most boring

【5】disappointed

【6】have appeared

【7】as

【8】laughing

【9】what

【10】gentlemen

【解析】

【1】 even if 为固定搭配，即使的意思。

【2】本句缺少谓语动词，动词与主语comedy show之间是被动关系，由于前面有个情态动词would，故用be given。

【3】分析句子意思，可知空格填副词，根据句意可知应填unluckily。

【4】根据空格后面的we have ever seen可知此处应该填形容词最高级。

【5】过去分词作表语，表状态。

【6】 should have done 本应该做某事。

【7】as soon as 是固定搭配，一…就…的意思。

【8】burst out doing sth.是固定搭配，突然…的意思。

【9】这是一个宾语从句，从句中又缺少了宾语，指代的是事情故用what。

【10】根据前的ladies用复数，gentlemen也要用复数。
