【分析】
本题为英语短文填空题,解题思路为:先通读全文把握主旨大意,再结合空格前后的语境、固定搭配、语法规则(如非谓语形式、词性转换、时态语态、冠词用法等)逐一确定每个空的正确答案。需注意区分形容词与副词的用法、动名词作主语的规则、固定短语搭配、时态的一致性以及被动语态的结构等。
【解析】
1. 考查固定搭配:be recognized as为固定短语,意为“被认为是”,故填as。
2. 考查形容词:主语为人(I),修饰人表示“感到惊讶的”需用ed结尾的形容词amazed,故填amazed。
3. 考查非谓语动词:此处动名词短语作宾语从句的主语,hold的动名词形式为holding,故填holding。
4. 考查固定搭配:either...or...为固定结构,意为“要么……要么……”,故填or。
5. 考查副词:此处需用副词修饰形容词disappointed,表抽象意义“非常”需用highly,故填highly。
