问题     Muhammad Ali, his hands shaking and eyes reflecting the White House chandeliers(枝形吊灯), accepted the nation’s highest civilian award from President George W. Bush on Wednesday.
    Bush called him "the Greatest of All Time" and "a man of peace," and【S1】______the Presidential Medal of Freedom around the former heavyweight champion’s neck.
    It was Ali’s first public【S2】______in months, six days after undergoing back surgery in Atlanta. Wobbly from the effects of Parkinson’s disease, the 63-year-old former heavyweight boxing【S3】______at times had to applaud with his left hand clenched(紧握)in a fist, and now and then appeared to have trouble sitting up in his seat.
    But when it came time to accept his medal, Ali stood【S4】______in his black suit and red, yellow and black tie, embraced the President and whispered in his ear. The President【S5】______to take a jab(猛击)at Ali. The champion【S6】______by pointing to his own head and moving his finger in a circle around his ear. The crowd laughed. When he sat down, Ali made the same【S7】______again.
    Calling Ali "a fierce fighter and a man of peace," Bush said, Ali’s【S8】______style would be studied for years but defy imitation.
    "The【S9】______mystery, I guess, is how he stayed so pretty," Bush said.
    The audience, including Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, former Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers and White House adviser Karl Rove, laughed. Bush added: "It probably had to do with his【S10】______soul."

选项
答案 J
解析 and连接并列谓语，由前面的谓语called，可知该空应填动词的过去时。由其后的宾语the Presidential Medal of Freedom，可推测是将一枚“总统自由奖”奖章系在这位前世界重量级拳王的脖子上，所以应选 tied。
