【解析】

本文講述一個來自美國的藝術家Steve Casino用花生殼做成許多雕像，并詳細介紹制作過程。這些作品很貴，因為Steve Casino花了很多時間來制作。

【1】句意：我們稱他為來自美國的特別藝術家。

by通過；off離開；from來自；at在。根據(jù)句意可知，Steve Casino是一個來自美國的藝術家。故選C。

【2】句意：他喜歡用花生做奇怪的東西。

take帶走；buy買；show展示；make做。make… out of…用……做成……，固定短語。故選D。

【3】句意：Steve已經(jīng)把花生殼轉(zhuǎn)變成了大約一百個小雕像。

for為；into進入；from來自，從；by通過。change…into…把……改變成……，固定搭配。故選B。

【4】句意：在這些雕像中，有著名的人物，如……。

there那里；they他/她/它們；these這些；those那些。此句是there be句型，結(jié)構(gòu)為：there are+名詞復數(shù)+其他。故選A。

【5】句意：他還制作了電影中的人物雕像，像……。

degrees度數(shù)；rubbish垃圾；movies電影；power能量。根據(jù)空后列舉“like Batman, Robin, Superman and Captain America”可知，應是電影中的人物。故選C。

【6】句意：然后他把花生殼粘在一起。

But但是；Before在……以前；After在……以后；Then然后。根據(jù)前句中“First”及后句中“After that”可知，皆為表示順序的副詞，故此處應是“Then然后”。故選D。

【7】句意：在那之后，他給他的雕像加上手臂和腿，并仔細地畫它們。

easily容易地；carefully仔細地，認真地；hurriedly匆忙地；hardly幾乎不。根據(jù)后文“It usually takes him twenty hours to paint a statue. 他通常花二十個小時畫一座雕像�！笨芍�，他畫畫仔細。故選B。

【8】句意：人們可以把它保存很長時間。

keep保存，保持；spend花費，度過；sell賣；ouch觸摸。根據(jù)前分句“he puts the statue in a glass dome（圓頂狀物）”可知，應是為了把它保存很長時間。故選A。

【9】句意：我感到很高興用花生來做東西。

taste品嘗；B. smell聞起來；sound聽起來；feel感到�？蘸蟆�happy高興的”描述心理感受，應是感到高興。故選D。

【10】句意：然而，他的作品很貴，因為他花了很多時間來制作。

cheap便宜的；small小的；expensive昂貴的；thin瘦的。根據(jù)后面的句子“because it takes him a lot of time to make them因為他花了很多時間來制作”可知，他的作品很貴。故選C。

完形填空題與單項選擇題不同，它給出的是一篇意思較為完整的短文。做該題型試題時，首先應跳過空格通讀全文，以全文為背景，聯(lián)系句子的上下文進行推理和判斷，從四個選項中選出一項進行試填�？忌�可以從詞義用法、固定搭配、邏輯推理和上下文的聯(lián)系等方面去考慮。最后應再把全文通覽一遍，細心檢查所選答案能否使短文上下連貫，前后呼應，詞句通順，使短文意思完整。檢查時還應從語法、慣用法、邏輯推理和事情發(fā)生的情節(jié)等方面進行考慮，以達到準確無誤之目的。例如小題3，for為；into進入；from來自，從；by通過。change…into…把……改變成……，固定搭配。故選B。
