1．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。
2．阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。

What we can learn ________ the old man is this: if you've lost a lot over something that doesn't work, let it go and move on. It's better than continuing to lose.
【答案】cheapest；asked；so；to burn /burning；as；down；heads；himself；spent；from
【解析】【分析】文章大意：这篇短文主要讲述了一个人因为贪便宜，买了一些根本不能作为水果的辣椒。结果因为舍不得自己花的那些钱，坚持把它们吃完的故事。从而告诉我们放弃某些东西比继续损失要好。
（1）句意：最便宜的东西有一篮子红水果。cheap，便宜。根据上文语句but most of it was very cheap. 提示可知，此句应该用最高级，故填cheapest。
（2）句意：“每公斤多少钱？”老人问。ask，询问，由语句 An old man went to India. 提示可知此句要用一般过去时，故填asked。
（3）句意：所以这位老人买了整整一公斤，开始吃。语句the old man bought a whole kilogram and started eating it.是Two rupees in India is almost nothing, 的结果，故填so。（4）句意：然而，他一开始吃东西，嘴巴就开始燃烧。burn，燃烧；固定结构begin to do sth，开始做某事，故填to burn/burning。
（5）句意：整个脸变得像水果一样红。固定结构as…as，与……一样，故填as。
（6）句意：他跳上跳下，尖叫着：“啊！啊！“啊！”固定短语，jump up and down，跳上跳下，故填down。
