【1】C

【2】A

【3】D

【4】E

【解析】

本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述我是研究语言的，我有一个有趣的故事，当我和朋友说我要录他们的说话来做研究时，他们说话都不自然，然而当我把录音机关掉时，他们开始很放松地说话。

【1】句意“这里有一个关于我的研究工作的有趣的故事”。根据My job is to study languages以及下文可知，表示“我的研究工作”，故选C。

【2】句意“当他们看到在每一个椅子前的麦克风以及地板中间的录音机时，他们非常紧张地坐在那”。根据句意可知，空处修饰副词nervously，所以用副词，rather十分，相当，故选A。

【3】句意“我解释说，对于他们来说只是一个小任务”。根据That was to count from one to twenty可知，只要从1数到20，所以是一个小任务，故选D。

【4】句意“晚上剩余的时间我们过得完全很放松”。根据句意可知，我关掉了录音机，所以我们剩下的时光过得完全很放松。completely完全地，故选E。
