【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章介绍了电脑的发明时间，以及电脑的用途。还有电脑对我们生活的影响。

（1）句意：第一台电脑是在1946年制造的。根据定冠词the，可知应使用序数词first，故答案是first。

（2）句意：它很大，但是工作得很慢。slow修饰动词worked，应使用副词slowly，故答案是slowly。

（3）句意：但是他们工作的越来越快了。空缺处指代前文的computers，因此使用they，故答案是they。

（4）句意：现在没有了电脑人们不能生活。因为电脑在我们日常生活中越来越重要。所以没有电脑就不能生活，没有without，故答案是without。

（5）句意：但是现在到处都可以发它。主语it 和find是被动关系，应使用被动语态，含有情态动词的被动语态是：情态动词+be+过去分词，故答案是be found。

（6）句意：我们可以用电脑读书、写信和购物，购物do shopping，固定搭配，故答案是shopping。

（7）句意：他们不知道他们真正的名字。name名字，可数名词，根据their可知应使用复数形式，故答案是names。

（8）句意：他们对于结交不真实的朋友那么感兴趣，以致于不能把心思用在学习上。be interested in，对……感兴趣，故答案是interested。

（9）句意：因为这个原因，他们中的许多人在许多课程山上跟不上其他学生。because of

应因为，固定搭配，故答案是because。

（10）句意：但是同时，我们应该记住电脑和网络并不能够做所有的事。at the same time，同时，固定短语，故答案是the。

【点评】考查词汇在篇章中的运用能力，答题时首先要跳过空格通读文章掌握其大意，然后细读文章，字斟句酌逐一作答，注意考虑句型、语法、搭配、语境等因素。最后通读一遍，检查验证。

2．阅读下面短文，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。

Strangely enough, some inventions are lost ________ people can't imagine their ________ （valuable）. A use may need to be "invented" along with the invention. An example is the fax machine. The technology for faxing ________ （invent）in the 1800s. It took more than one hundred years, however, for the fax to be seen as useful. In 1843 Alexander Bain invented a machine to ________ （electrical）transmit（传输）writing. At first, it was considered ________ （use）since few people thought there was ________ need for transmitting writing over ________ （wire）. Eventually the value of the invention was realized, and it was improved ________ office use. By the 1980s, the fax machine became a piece of standard ________ （equip）in offices. The reason is ________it can very quickly transmit written documents. Who knows how many other inventions just need to be recognized as valuable?

【答案】because；value；was invented；electrically；useless；a/any；wires；for；equipment；that

【解析】【分析】主要讲了一些发明因为人们不能想象它们的价值而失去，列举传真机器的发明来说明这点。

（1）句意：足够奇怪的是，因为人们不能想象它们的价值，所以一些发明消失了。后句表示原因，所以用because；形容词修物主代词修饰名词，their它们的，形容词修物主代词，所以后面用形容词valuable的名词value，不可数名词，故填because，value。

（2）句意：传真的科技在19世纪被发明。invent发明，实义动词，主语technology是动作invent的承受者，时态是一般过去时，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，结构是was/were+动词过去分词，主语technology是不可数名词，所以用was，invent的过去分词是invented，故填was invented。

（3）句意：1843年，亚历山大贝恩发明了一种电子传输文字的机器。electrical电子的，形容词，副词修饰实义动词，transmit传输，实义动词，所以用副词electrically，电子地，故填electrically。

（4）句意：起初，它被认为是无用的，因为很少有人认为有必要通过电线传输文字。be considere形容词，表示被认为怎么样，固定搭配，根据后文可知传真的作用后来才被认可，所以起初被认为是无用的，use使用，实义动词，其形容词是useless，无用的；原因是很少人认为有必要，few表示否定，所以用a/any；wire，电线，可数名词，前面没有表示单数的a或者one，所以用复数wires，故填useless；a/any；wires。

（5）句意：最终，这项发明的价值得以实现，并被改进为办公用途。为了办公用途才被

改进，所以用for，为了，故填for。

（6）句意：到了20世纪80年代，传真机已成为办公室的标准设备。equip，装备，实义动词，形容词修饰名词，standard，标准的，形容词，所以用equip的名词equipment，设备，不可数名词，故填equipment。

（7）句意：原因是它能很快地传送书面文件。the reason is that...，原因是……，固定搭配，故填that。

【点评】考查语法填空，考查词汇在语篇中的运用能力。注意理解句意，首先读一遍，然后再逐一作答。注意句型、搭配、短语及语境。

3．语法填空

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a bell tower. It is famous for ________tilt （倾斜） 1o one side. Located behind the Cathedral of Pisa, the tower ________ （become） a symbol of Italy. It is one of ________ oldest buildings in Pisa's Cathedral Square.

The tower was not designed to lean, ________ because people built it on soft soils it gradually tilted to one side. Even though some people don't think the tower is a ________ （success）building because of its tit, the tower has won a special place in history. The tower has also been used for experiments by the famous Italian scientist ________ （call） Galileo Galilei.

Every year, ________ （million）of tourists flock to the tower to take the classic photo pretending（假装） to hold up or knock down the tower. Tourists can also climb the 294 steps to the top inside the tower. There are seven ________ （bell） on top of it. It is said that you must visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa during the day. At night the shops are closed and it looks just so-so. However, if you visit it on a full moon night, the tower ________ （look） fantastic.

When you plan ________ （visit）Leaning Tower of Pisa, you should not miss some other sights near it, including Santa Maria della Spina and the Guelph Tower.

【答案】 its；has become；the；but；successful；called；millions；bells；looks；to visit 【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章介绍了意大利著名的比萨斜塔，它位于比萨大教堂后面。一开始设计的时候并不是斜的，因为地基的原因，慢慢向一侧倾斜。虽然人们认为这不是一个成功的建筑，但是在历史上赢得了特殊的历史地位。意大利著名科学家伽利略层在塔山做过著名的落地实验。每年有成百万的游客来这里旅游，拍照。

（1）句意：它因向一侧倾斜而著名。根据句意可知，这里的倾斜指塔本身的倾斜，使用与主语一致的物主代词its，故答案是its。

（2）句意：位于比萨大教堂的后面的斜塔成为了意大利的象征。我们知道它已经成为了意大利的象征了，因此使用现在完成时，现在完成时的结构是have/has+过去分词。主语the tower为第三人称单数，助动词使用has，故答案是has become。

（3）句意：它是比萨大教堂广场最古老的建筑之一。oldest为形容词最高级，形容词最高

级前使用定冠词the，故答案是the。

（4）句意：塔不是设计的时候就是斜的，但是因为人们把它建筑在软的土地上，慢慢地就向一边倾斜。一开始设计的不是斜的，现在成为斜的了，与设计本身不符，因此使用转折词but连接，故答案是but。

（5）句意：即使人们因为倾斜不认为这是成功的建筑，但是它却在历史上赢得了特殊的地位。success作定语修饰building，因此使用形容词successful，故答案是successful。（6）句意：这座塔也曾被意大利科学家伽利略用来做实验。call以及后面的Galileo Galilei 作后置定语修饰scientist，意思为被叫做，因此使用过去分词called，故答案是called。（7）句意：每年，成百万的人游客聚集在塔前拍着经典照片，假装支撑着它，或者把它推倒。millions of固定短语，成百万的，故答案是millions。

（8）句意：塔顶有七个钟。bell钟，可数名词，根据seven可知应使用复数形式，故答案是bells。

（9）句意：然而，如果你在满月的时候去看斜塔，它看起来很迷人。本句为一般性的叙述，应使用一般现在时，主语the tower是第三人称单数，谓语使用三单形式looks，故答案是looks。

（10）句意：当你计划参观比萨斜塔时，被忘了欣赏附近其他的风光。plan to do sth.计划做某事，固定搭配，故答案是to visit。

【答案】 to drive；before；with；for；driving；fortieth；as；healthy；oldest；children 【解析】【分析】本文介绍了英国在开车上路之前考取驾照的情况。

（1）句意：在英国，直到17岁你才被允许开车。be allowed to do，固定搭配，允许做某事，故此处是不定式，故填 to drive。

（2）句意：你必须得到一张特殊的驾驶执照才能开车。根据常识，开车前要考驾照，之前before，故填before。

（5）句意：必须参加驾驶考试才能获得驾照。test是名词其前是形容词，此处是动名词做定语，表示用途，故填driving。

Five years ago, my 71—year—old father ________ （spend）five hours putting together a swing set（秋千）for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea, and talk to him. But again, I had laundry to do, and the house to clean.

（9）句意：我相信诚实是最好的礼物之一。one of 后是名词复数，gift是名词，故填gifts。

（10）句意：我已经尝试这个很长时间了，而且我尝试的时间越长，它就变得越容易。the+比较级，the+比较级，固定搭配，越……越，故此处是比较级，easy的比较级是easier，故填 easier。
