這是一篇記敘文。文章講述一天，馬克吐溫被邀請去一個小鎮(zhèn)上做演講。他碰到一個年輕人說他叔叔從來不笑，馬克吐溫講了很多有趣的故事，但是這個人一直不笑，讓他感到很失望。后來從一個朋友那里得知那位叔叔其實是耳聾的。

【1】

句意：一天，馬克吐溫被邀請去一個小鎮(zhèn)上做演講。

此處缺謂語動詞，講述過去的經(jīng)歷是一般過去時態(tài)；主語Mark Twain是第三人稱單數(shù)，此處用was invited表示“被邀請去做演講”。故答案為was invited。

【2】

句意：我確定我能讓他大笑。

表達(dá)“讓某人做某事”用make sb. do，此處用動詞原形；根據(jù)前文“his uncle never laughed or smiled, and that nobody was able to make his uncle smile or laugh”可知此處用make him laugh。故答案為laugh。

【3】

句意：他講了一些有趣的故事。

此處缺謂語動詞，句子是一般過去時態(tài)；此處表達(dá)“講故事”用動詞短語told stories。故答案為told。

【4】

句意：我知道那個人。

此處缺謂語動詞，此處是直接引語，用動詞know表示“知道，了解”。故答案為know。

【5】

句意：他耳朵聾了好幾年了。

句子缺謂語動詞，根據(jù)“for years”可知此處用動詞的現(xiàn)在完成時；主語是he，是第三人稱單數(shù)，謂語動詞用has been deaf。故答案為has been。
