【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述一位经理招聘了一位男孩来办公室帮忙。虽然男孩子没有推荐信，但是经理觉得他的言行举行显示出他很细心，受过良好的教育，很有礼貌，并且举止得体；他觉得这些品质比真正的推荐信更有说服力。

【1】句意：一位经理曾经打广告招聘一位可以在他办公室帮忙的人，有接近五十个人申请了职位。

根据nearly可知people前面用基数词，用fifty表示“接近五十个人”。故答案为fifty。

【2】句意：在很短的时间内，他从所有的人中，选择了一个男孩，然后其他人被遣散。

根据“From all these people”可知一个男孩被选中而其他人被送走，用动词send，the others和send之间是被动关系，用were sent away。故答案为sent。

【3】句意：他没有一封推荐信。

此处用介词with him表示伴随状语。故答案为with。

【4】句意：他说：“你错了，他有很多。”

根据“He had not a single recommendation”和“You are mistaken”可知此处表达他觉得那个男孩有很多推荐many letters of recommendation。recommendation前文已经提到，可以省略。故答案为many。

【5】句意：他进来的时候摘下了自己的帽子，礼貌地回答了我的问题，显示出他受过良好的教育。

“answered my questions”后面用副词修饰，根据“showing that he was well-educated”可知此处表示他回答问题有礼貌，用polite的副词politely。故答案为politely。

【6】句意：我把书故意放在地上，其他人都踩过去或者把它推到一边，但是他把书捡起来放在桌上，显示出他很细心。

此处表示那个男孩和其他人的行为的对比，用连词while连接，表示“而”。故答案为while。

【7】句意：我把书故意放在地上，其他人都踩过去或者把它推到一边，但是他把书捡起来放在桌上，显示出他很细心。

根据“He lifted up the book which I had purposely laid on the floor, and placed it on the table”可知那个男孩子很细心，用care的形容词形式careful。故答案为careful。

【8】句意：他等着轮到他自己，而不是把别人推到一边，显示出他有好的礼仪。

根据“he waited quickly for his turn, instead of pushing the others aside”可知他的行为很好，用名词manners。故答案为manners。

【9】句意：当他写自己的名字的时候，我注意到他的手指指甲很干净，没有钢笔印。

根据“he”可知此处指的是那个男孩写他的名字，he变成物主代词his。故答案为his。

【10】句意：我用眼睛看了十分钟，看到男孩子身上体现的东西可以称之为推荐信，比带过来的准备充分的实际的推荐信更有价值。

by后面用名词或动名词；此处表示通过眼睛识别，用use的动名词using。故答案为using。

选词填空题做题方法如下：①读句子，了解大意。先易后难，根据句子的大意先选择一部分词。例如第一句根据句意很容易找到和基数词fifty有关；第三句根据句意很容易找到和介词with有关。②再读一遍，判断词性。要注意句子前后的关系，判断句子缺少什么成分或是何种词性。例如第五题根据前面的动词可以判断缺少副词；第六题根据前后句子结构可以缺少连词；第八题根据good可知缺少名词，第十题根据by可以判断缺少动名词。③选择合适的单词填写。注意检查单词形式的变化是否正确。例如第二题需要变成send的被动形式were sent；第五题需要用polite的副词形式politely。
