【解析】

文章大意：短文主要講述了業(yè)余愛好的意義——業(yè)余時間做我們喜歡做的事，只是為了得到樂趣。

【1】句意：但是在晚上和周末他們是空閑的，過得很快樂。

love愛；work工作；enjoy享受；play玩，根據(jù)句意和空后themselves的提示，空處的詞應(yīng)是enjoy，構(gòu)成短語enjoy themselves玩得快樂，故答案為C。

【2】句意：這決定于他們自己的興趣。

lives生活；interests興趣；jobs工作；things事情。根據(jù)上句Some watch television or go to the movies; others take part in sports.一些看電視或去看電影；一些參加運動可知，業(yè)余愛好決定于自己的興趣，故答案為B。

【3】句意：幾乎每個人都有某種愛好。

hobby愛好；thing事情；job工作；way方式、方法。根據(jù)下句It may be something from collecting stamps to making model planes.它可能是從集郵到制造飛機模型的事情可知，是某種愛好，故答案為A。

【4】句意：一些愛好很昂貴，但是其他的根本不花什么錢。

interesting有趣的；exciting激動人心的；cheap便宜的；expensive昂貴的。根據(jù)后句but others don't cost anything at all. 但是其他的根本不花什么錢和but的提示，空處的詞應(yīng)是“昂貴的”，故答案為D。

【5】句意：一些收藏品值很多錢。

a little少些，后加不可數(shù)名詞；a few少數(shù)，后加可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)；a lot許多；后加可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)或不可數(shù)名詞；a number許多，修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)。根據(jù)后句others are valuable only to their owners.其他的只對它們的主人有價值可知，前面的句子是說“一些收藏值很多錢”，并且money是不可數(shù)名詞，所以要用a lot of 來修飾，故答案為C。

【6】句意：我認識一個有值數(shù)千美元硬幣收藏的一個人。

thousand千，其前應(yīng)有具體數(shù)字；thousands數(shù)千，之后應(yīng)有of；thousands of數(shù)千；thousand of本身錯誤。根據(jù)數(shù)詞的表達法可知，只有C正確，故答案為C。

【7】句意：不久前他用250美元買了一張罕見的，面值50美分的硬幣。

paid花費，主語是人；cost花費，主語是物；took花費，主語為形式主語it；spent花費，主語是人。本句是定語從句，中心詞是a rare(罕見的) fiftycent piece一張罕見的，面值50美分的硬幣，是物，所以應(yīng)用cost，故答案為B。

【8】句意：然而，對我弟弟來說，它們很有價值。

to對于；on在……上面；with和……一起；in在……里面。根據(jù)句意可知，故答案為A。

【9】句意：對于他的收藏來說沒有什么比發(fā)現(xiàn)一個新火柴盒使他更快樂了。

Everything每件事情；Anything任何事情；Nothing沒有事情；Something某件事情。根據(jù)上句句意However,___8___ my brother, they are quite valuable. 然而，對我弟弟來說，它們很有價值可知，是沒有什么比發(fā)現(xiàn)一個新火柴盒使他更快樂，故答案為C。

【10】句意：它是一件我們在空余時間喜歡做的僅僅為了樂趣的事情。

have不得不；need需要；refuse拒絕；like喜歡。根據(jù)下句The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.在金錢方面的價值不重要，而是它給予我們的快樂可知，是喜歡做的事情，故答案為D。
