On a Friday night, a poor young artist was playing with his violin at a street corner with a large piece of paper on the ground. Before long, he was surrounding with people, who were all attracted by the word on that paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman put an important thing into my hat with mistake. Please come to claim them soon.” Seeing this, people wondered why it could be. Some time later, a man came and take back his lottery which won a prize of $ 500,000. When asked why he didn’t keep it for himself, artist said, “While I don’t have much money, I live happy. However, if I lose honest, I won’t be happy forever.”

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于记叙文，介绍了一个品质高尚的流浪艺术家面对金钱的诱惑，保持真心的故事。

【1】play with --- 去掉with 考查动词短语。短语play the violin弹奏小提琴，本句中的动词play表示“演奏”，是一个及无语动词，介词with是多余的。

【2】 surrounding --- surrounded 考查语态。主语he和动词surround构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词表示被动。句意：不久之后，他就被人们包围，人们被写在纸上的话所吸引。

【3】word --- words 考查名词复数形式。名词word意为“说的话”的时候通常使用复数形式。句意：不久之后，他就被人们包围，人们被写在纸上的话所吸引。

【4】 with (mistake) --- by 考查介词固定搭配。句意：昨天晚上有一个绅士错误地在我的帽子里放了一个很重要的东西。介词短语by mistake错误地，这是一个固定搭配。

【5】them --- it 考查代词。根据前句中an important thing可知这是单数名词，所以使用it指代单数名词，them指代复数名词。

【6】 why --- what 考查宾语从句连词。本题宾语从句中系动词be的后面缺少表扬，所以使用连接代词what引导这个宾语从句，并在句中作表语，why是连接副词，在句中只能做状语，不能做表语。

【7】take --- took 考查时态。本文叙述的是过去发生的事情，所以使用一般过去时，而且本句中took和came是并列结构，都使用动词的过去式。

【8】 artist --- 前加上 the 考查定冠词。在英语中，通常使用定冠词the表示特指上文提到的同一事物，本句中the artist特指第一句中的a poor young artist。

【9】happy --- happily 考查副词。在英语中通常使用副词做状语修饰形容词、副词或动词，所以本句中使用副词happily修饰动词live。

【10】honest --- honesty 考查名词。动词lose是及物动词，后面要接名词做宾语，形容词honest的名词修饰是honesty。
