【解析】

试题解析：考察记叙文。本文讲述的是作者是一个资历尚浅的管理顾问，被推荐给一个大广告公司的老板。面试期间，作者获得两次自我介绍机会，但作者均一言不发。老板问为什么不抓住机会,作者回答这是你给我的时间，属于我的时间。最后作者和老板长谈，面试得以通过。

1.查被动语态。前半句句意是“我被推荐给他…”，根据提示想到recommend,又因为是被动语态，所以填recommmended.

2.考查关系代词在定语从句中的用法。空前one of his employees（（他的员工之一）是人，所以填关系代词who,也可填万能关系代词that。

3.填career。考查名词。At that stage in my ______（生涯）,在我职业生涯的这个阶段。所以直接写career。

4.填early。考查副词用法。I arrived e______，我到达 ,。故应填副词修饰arrived,根据首写字母e提示，所以填early。

5.填with。考查with做伴随状语，“with+名词/代词+done。” ______ furniture decorated in bright yellow.家具被刷成明黄色，表伴随状态，故填with。

6.填rolled。考查have做宾语补足语的用法。“have sb/sth done,是某人做么事”。 “e had his shirt sleeves r______ up，他把袖子卷起来…”,故填被动词rolled。

7.填saying。考查现在分词作状语。I sat there, not s______ a word.我坐在那儿，没有说一句话。状语和主语是主动关系，且首写字母提示是s，故填saying。

8.填again。考查副词用法。“…not a word,没有说一句话”，根据语境，前文老板已经给了作者分钟，作者保持沉默，且首写字母为A，故填again。

9.问句。“______ aren’t you saying anything?，你为什么什么都不说”。故填Why。

10.考查介词后面接名词表种状态的用法。“He burst into______.他突然…,”根据语境，老板应该是对作者的回答感到意外，所以爆发出一阵大笑，故填laughter。
