这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了，美国商人亨利意外在伦敦着陆，饥肠辘辘时，两个有钱的兄弟奥利弗和罗德里克给了他一封信，亨利不知道里面有一张百万英镑的钞票，他衣衫褴褛地去吃饭，当他用那张100万英镑的钞票来付饭钱，餐馆里的所有人都变得彬彬有礼，试图取悦亨利。

【1】考查冠词。此处指“一个美国人”，表泛指，American元音音素开头，所以用不定冠词an。故填an。

【2】考查过去分词。宾语himself和动词carry是逻辑上的被动关系，所以carry用过去分词表被动，作himself的补语。故填carried。

【3】考查时态和语态。此处缺乏谓语动词，全文事情已发生，时态用一般过去时，主语he（单数）和动词spot是被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态（was done）。故填was spotted。

【4】考查介词。固定搭配by accident，意为“意外地、偶然地”，所以用by。故填by。

【5】考查副词。由语境可知，此处指“意外地被叫进豪宅”，expect要修饰动词词组called into，副词修饰动词，应用副词unexpectedly（意外地）。故填unexpectedly。

【6】考查现在分词。本句已有谓语动词left且无连词，此处应用非谓语，主语Henry和动词know是逻辑上的主动关系，应用现在分词（doing）表主动，作状语。故填knowing。

【7】考查名词的数。固定搭配in rags，意为“衣衫褴褛”。故填rags。

【8】考查动名词。介词on后接动名词（doing），应用seeing。故填seeing。

【9】考查固定搭配。固定搭配try one’s best to do sth.，意为“尽某人最大努力干某事”，应用best。故填best。

【10】考查冠词。形容词最高级前面要加定冠词the。故填the。
