【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。一位著名的大学校长Mr. Mora，因为他的许多演讲有时会引人发笑，所以他以幽默著称。但是由于许多滑稽的事情，他又被家人和朋友认为是心不在焉的。短文叙述了他因粗心大意把火车票弄丢了，并在错误的地点下车的故事。

【1】

考查形容词。此处用形容词来修饰名词man，译为“一个幽默感的人”故填humorous。

【2】

考查名词。句意：他的演讲不时的引人发笑。laugh（v）译为“笑，发出笑声”，（n）译为“引人发笑的事”；laugher（n）译为“笑声”。结合句意可知，此处放在及物动词brought后做宾语，故填laugher。

【3】

考查连词。句意：他也因心不在焉而被亲朋好友们记得。此处for是并列连词，表示推断的原因，对前一句补充说明理由。故填for。

【4】

考查非谓语动词。ask在此句中为非谓语动词，其逻辑主语为“a conductor”，二者构成主谓关系，故填asking。

【5】

考查副词。此处anxiety（n）译为焦虑、担忧。结合句意可知，how后使用副词anxiously来修饰句中动词短语look for，应将anxiety改为anxiously。故填anxiously。

【6】

考查代词。句意：我确定你在某个地方能找到它。此处it代指车票。故填it。

【7】

考查宾语从句。句意。我需要知道我去哪里。此处考查where引导宾语从句，且where在从句中做地点状语。故填where。

【8】

考查时态。此处hurried与got做并列谓语，在时态上保持一致，结合句意可知为一般过去时。故填hurried。

【9】

考查定语从句。分析句子可知，该句为定语从句，其先行词为a small boy，在定语从句中做主语，应使用关系代词who或that。故填who或that。

【10】

考查固定搭配。此处考查give a lecture译为“做演讲”，为固定搭配。故填a。
