【答案】

【4】 still

【5】 have left

【解析】

文章大意：本文是一篇幽默故事。两位应邀的演讲者来演讲，在第一位讲完后，巨大的房间里只剩下了一个人，当他向这个人表示感谢时，才知道这唯一的听众就是第二位演讲者。

【1】句意：那天，两位演讲者被邀请去发表演讲。根据下文The first speaker's speech was very hard to__2__.可知此处句意为“那天，两位演讲者被邀请去发表演讲。”“演讲者”speaker，前面有数词two，所以在此处应用其复数形式speakers；故答案填speakers。

【2】句意：第一位演讲者的讲话很难理解。根据下文But as time went on the speech became very boring,可知，第一位演讲者的讲话内容很无聊，推测可能是其演讲的内容非常难理解；understand意为“理解、明白”，动词不定式中用动词原形；故答案填understand。

【3】句意：但是随着时间的推移，演讲变得很无聊，人们开始睡觉了。根据But as time went on the speech became very boring,可知此处句意为“人们开始睡觉了。”fall asleep意为“入睡、睡觉”，为固定搭配；故答案填asleep。

【4】句意：最后，当他演讲完时，只剩下一个人仍然坐在巨大的房间里。根据Finally when he finished it, there was only one man __4__ sitting in the large room.可知句意为“最后，当他演讲完时，只剩下一个人仍然坐在巨大的房间里。”“仍然”still，故答案填still。

【5】句意：非常感谢你，在其他人都离开了之后你仍然把我的演讲听完。leave“离开”，由语境可知“离开”的动作发生在演讲结束之前，所以此处应用现在完成时态，主语是all the others，助动词用have，leave的过去分词是left；故答案填have left。
