这篇完形填空改编自经典童话《皇帝的新装》，结合上下文语境和七年级所学语法、词汇知识点逐题分析：
1. 第1题：句首Long ago（很久以前）表明时态为一般过去时，谓语动词要用过去式，like的过去式是liked，故选B。
2. 第2题：根据故事背景，骗子谎称愚蠢的人看不见这件特殊的衣服，silly意为“愚蠢的”，符合语境，smart（聪明的）、strong（强壮的）不符合，故选A。
3. 第3题：皇帝让骗子做衣服，会给他们钱财，money意为“钱”，符合语境，bottles（瓶子）、nets（网）不符合，故选A。
4. 第4题：两个骗子开始工作，几天之后皇帝才派大臣去查看，after some days表示“几天之后”，符合逻辑，before（在……之前）、between（在两者之间）不符合，故选B。
5. 第5题：根本不存在所谓的特殊衣服，所以大臣什么都没看见，nothing意为“什么都没有”，符合语境，故选C。
6. 第6题：人们都害怕被别人说自己是愚蠢的，所以都夸赞这件不存在的衣服，praised意为“夸赞”，符合语境，promised（承诺）、prepared（准备）不符合，故选A。
7. 第7题：所有人都在夸赞衣服的时候，小男孩突然喊出了真相，suddenly意为“突然”，符合语境，firstly（首先）、finally（最终）不符合，故选B。
8. 第8题：固定搭配have nothing on是常用表达，意为“什么都没穿”，故选C。
9. 第9题：七年级所学固定结构start doing sth. 表示“开始做某事”，后面接动名词形式laughing，故选C。
10. 第10题：皇帝已经光着身子在街上走完了，现在知道真相已经太晚了，late意为“晚的，迟的”，符合语境，early（早的）、quick（快的）不符合，故选B。
