【解析】短文介绍了作者自己参加当地一所大学录取面试的经历。刚开始作者感到很紧张，面试官没有抬头，用奇怪的声音询问作者关于学校、爱好和读过的书的一些问题，还有为什么要选择考古学。后来作者发现面试官就是以前参与过挖掘工作的指导老师。

【1】句意：我参加了一个非常重要的面试。不定冠词a后跟可数名词的单数形式，根据汉语提示可知，答案为interview。

【2】句意：我必须要通过面试。had是have的过去式，have to do sth.必须做某事，to后跟动词原形，通过考试要用动词pass，故答案为pass。

【3】句意：当我走进房间时，我感到口干，双手也在颤抖。felt是feel的过去式，feel为系动词，后跟形容词作表语，根据汉语提示可知，答案为dry。

【4】句意：我静静地坐在那里，几乎没有看他一眼。根据汉语提示可知，答案为hardly。

【5】句意：他开始用奇怪的声音问我关于学校、我的爱好和我读过的书的问题。业余爱好可能不止一个，因此hobby要用复数形式hobbies。

【6】句意：接下来，他想知道我为什么选择考古学。此句的主句是一般过去式，因此从句的时态也为一般过去时，答案为chose。

【7】句意：我深深地吸了一口气，向他解释了我在埃及的夏天，在西奈沙漠里的考古发掘地帮忙。并列连词and连接的前后句都是一般过去时态，故答案为explained。

【8】句意：他疯了吗？此句是系表结构，缺少形容词，根据汉语提示可知，答案为crazy。

【9】句意：我肯定会被录取的。be certain / sure 确信，有把握。故答案为certain / sure。

【10】句意：他是那个夏天表扬我工作的人，并鼓励我追随我的梦想。并列连词and连接的前后句都是一般过去时态，故答案为encouraged。
