小题7:biggest

解析

试题分析：
小题1:interviewed 这里应填谓语动词的过去时，HR manager: 人力资源部经理。 
小题2:and  “Do sth., and sb./sth. will…”是一个常见句型，例如：Use your head, and you’ll find a way.
小题3:neither /nor /or 若上句是否定句，则后一句常用neither或nor表示“也不，也没有”。 另外，在否定句中的并列连词不用and多用or。
小题4:whoever 在这里作主语引导主语从句，整句意思是“凡是不存在的人都不能拥有这份工作。” 
小题5:with  with no hope at all=" without" any hope: 不怀任何希望。
小题6:succeeded 此处缺少谓语动词。
小题7:biggest 这里应该用形容词的最高级形式，在one of the + 形容词+名词的结构里，形容词应是最高级形式，例如：She is one of the most diligent students in our class.
小题8:an  an insurance broker：一个保险经纪人
小题9:curiously 这里应填副词作状语修饰动词replied。
小题10:what 引导宾语从句，在从句中作have been的表语。整个宾语从句用了虚拟语气，意思是：“要是你有email，那你又该成了什么样的人哪？”
