【解析】本文主要講了抓拍秀聞名于全世界，但是有時候它也會惹來麻煩。

【1】考查形容詞。修飾名詞concept，用形容詞，所以填original。

【2】考查時態(tài)和語態(tài)。Candid Camera 與create之間是被動關(guān)系，用被動語態(tài)，表示發(fā)生在過去的事情，用一般過去時，綜上所述，應該用一般過去時的被動語態(tài)，所以填was created。

【3】考查名詞單復數(shù)。隱藏的照相機可以拍攝普通人的不同尋常的情況�！�不同尋常的情況”是復數(shù)意義，所以填situations。

【4】考查時態(tài)。表示過去發(fā)生的、持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在的動作或狀態(tài)，用現(xiàn)在完成時，所以填have been。

【5】考查名詞。但是袖珍照相機是起點。這里應該使用名詞，所以填beginning。

【6】考查固定用法。受害人之一開始提起訴訟反對Peter Funt。表示“……之一”，所以用one of + 可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)，填one。

【7】考查介詞。受害人之一開始提起訴訟反對Peter Funt。表示反對，所以填against。

【8】考查冠詞。Funt在一個機場偽裝成安保人員的樣子。泛指“一個機場”，且airport的首字母發(fā)音是元音，所以填an。

【9】考查固定用法。instruct sb. to do sth. 命令某人干某事，是固定用法，所以填to go。

【10】考查時態(tài)。表示發(fā)生在過去的事情，用一般過去時，所以填ordered。
