(答案→)to
解析：
【小题1】go to +地点“去某处”，固定用法。本句的意思是“史密斯先生去参加晚宴。”
【小题2】通过意思可知，应该是房间里的人们没有看他，所以应该用him。
【小题3】通过but（但是）我们可以知道，他应该什么也没说。所以应该用nothing。
【小题4】通过He went back to the party“他回到晚会。”可知，史密斯先生刚才应该是回家了，所以本题应填home。
【小题5】put on“穿上”固定短语。本句的意思是“史密斯先生迅速回家，换上最好的衣服。”
【小题6】通过to eat可知，前一个单词应该是食物（food）。本句的意思是“他们给他好吃的东西。”
【小题7】根据上文，我们知道史密斯先生让他的衣服吃东西，当然其他人会吃惊。所以本题应是people。本句的意思是“其他人很吃惊”。
【小题8】通过They didn’t ask him to sit at the table.可推断，本题的意思是“你们没有让我坐下”所以本题应填sit。
