【解析】

試題分析：本文主要講述了著名的歌星參加二戰(zhàn)期間老兵節(jié)目時，被兩位失去一支胳膊的老兵感動，久久不肯離去的故事。

【1】Asked 考查分詞作狀語。本句中的ask與句子主語構(gòu)成被動關系。故填asked。

【2】but 考查連詞。根據(jù)句意可知他很忙，但是如果他們不介意他只唱一首短歌并迅速離開，他會去參加這個節(jié)目。根據(jù)句意可知上下文之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關系，所以使用but表示轉(zhuǎn)折。故填but。

【3】happily 考查副詞。在英語中通常使用副詞作狀語，修飾形容詞、副詞或動詞。本句中使用happily修飾動詞agree。句意：節(jié)目的導演高興地同意了。因為他是著名的歌手，能來參加已經(jīng)很好了。故填happily。

【4】the 考查冠詞。在英語中通常使用定冠詞表示特指，本句中使用定冠詞the特指在一段中提到的one short song。故填the。

【5】staying 考查非謂語動詞。固定搭配keep doing sth一直做某事。根據(jù)前一句He went through _____short song and then stayed.可知他唱了那首短歌以后并沒有離開，而是留了下來。觀眾的掌聲很熱烈，他繼續(xù)留了下來。故填staying。

【6】 for 考查介詞。介詞“for+一段時間”表示某個動作持續(xù)了很長時間。本句表示他在舞臺上停留的時間很長。故填for。

【7】assistants 考查名詞。動詞assist意為“幫助”，本句中形容詞性物主代詞his的后面要接名詞assistant“助手”，指他的一個助手攔住了他提醒他要離開了。故填assistants。

【8】yourself 考查固定搭配。介詞短語for oneself親自；句意：如果你看前排，你就可以親眼看見了。故填yourself。

【9】whom 考查定語從句。本題定語從句的先行詞是two men，whom指代先行詞在句中做介詞of的賓語，引導起這個非限制性賓語從句。故填whom。

【10】were doing 考查時態(tài)。本句表示在Jimmy Durante表演的時候，這兩位老兵各用一支剩下的手熱烈鼓掌。所以使用過去進行時。故填were doing。
