【解析】本文屬于說明文!主要介紹了風(fēng)箏的傳播歷史：它由中國建筑師魯班發(fā)明，然后傳播到印度等亞洲國家，甚至遠(yuǎn)播到新西蘭！后來由馬可波羅傳到歐洲。再后來，科學(xué)家將風(fēng)箏用于科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)中。

【1】考查語境及名詞的應(yīng)用。根據(jù)“The kite has been considered as the___1___(invent)of the famous 5th一century BC ”句意：風(fēng)箏被認(rèn)為是公元前5世紀(jì)中國著名工匠魯班所發(fā)明的。故填invention。

【2】考查語境及語態(tài)的應(yīng)用。根據(jù)“By at least 549 AD paper kites were being flown，as it___2___ (record)in that year a paper kite was used as a message for a rescue mission. ”句意：“風(fēng)箏被用來發(fā)出求救信息”這件事被記載下來。故填was recorded。

【3】考查語境及固定搭配的應(yīng)用。根據(jù)“ From then ___3___，kites were slowly introduced to Cambodia，Thailand，India，Japan，Korea and the western world from China.”句意：從那時起開始，風(fēng)箏 從中國慢慢傳到了亞洲國家和歐洲。From then on表示“從那時起開始”。故填on。

【4】考查語境及過去分詞的應(yīng)用。根據(jù)“the kite further evolved into the fighter kite___4___(know)as the patang in India where thousands are flown every year on festivals such as Makar Sankranti.”本句的謂語動詞是evolved,因此，這里的know應(yīng)用作非謂語動詞， 指the fighter kite在印度被稱為“patang”而出名，美國和印度還因此拍過一部叫Patang的電影。故填known。

【5】考查語境及名詞復(fù)數(shù)的應(yīng)用。根據(jù)“___5___(story)of kites were first brought to Europe by Marco Polo towards the end of the 13th century”本句的謂語動詞為復(fù)數(shù)，所以主語應(yīng)與之對應(yīng)。故填stories。

【6】考查語境及轉(zhuǎn)折詞的應(yīng)用。根據(jù)“___6___ they were initially regarded as mere curiosities，”注意句中前部分的...initially regarded as mere curiosities，指風(fēng)箏起初僅僅被當(dāng)做稀奇看待，再根據(jù)本句后部分“在18、19 世紀(jì)時，風(fēng)箏被用來作科研的工具”，這兩部分意思有轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。故填Although/Though。

【7】考查語境及定冠詞的應(yīng)用。根據(jù)“they were initially regarded as mere curiosities，by___7___18th and 19th centuries，”表示“在第18和19世紀(jì)”，序數(shù)詞前面有定冠詞。故填the。

【8】考查語境及形容詞的應(yīng)用。根據(jù)“kites were being used as vehicles for___8___(science)research.”句意：風(fēng)箏被用于科學(xué)研究。此處的詞修飾名詞research，應(yīng)用形容詞。故填scientific。

【9】考查語境及動詞不定式的應(yīng)用。根據(jù)“In 1750，Benjamin Franklin published a proposal for an experiment___9___(prove)that lightning is electricity by flying a kite in a storm. ”句意：富蘭克林提出在暴風(fēng)雨中用風(fēng)箏做實(shí)驗(yàn)來驗(yàn)證閃電是由電引起的設(shè)想。故填to prove。

【10】考查語境及副詞的應(yīng)用。根據(jù)“Kites were also instrumental in the research of the Wright brothers when they built the first airplane___10___(active)in the late 1800 s.”句意： 萊特兄弟“積極地”建造他們第一架飛機(jī)時，也是用風(fēng)箏作為他們的實(shí)驗(yàn)工具。故填actively。
