Answer 1

【答案】

【1】the

【2】which

【3】development

【4】to improve

【5】needed

【6】was put

【7】on

【8】clearly

【9】but

【10】annoying

【解析】

【1】the;考查冠詞。這里是指某段特定的歷史。故填the。

【2】which;考查非限制性定語從句。前面的先行詞指物，定語從句缺少主語，故填which。

【3】development;形容詞修飾名詞，develop是動詞。故填development。

【4】to improve;固定搭配，be constructed to 被建造來…。故填to improve。

【5】needed;考查非謂語動詞。這一句的句意是他拿到了他工作需要的那筆錢。need是用來修飾錢的，所以應(yīng)該用過去分詞形式表示被動。故填needed。

【6】was put;考查被動語態(tài)。句子的主語是Bell的發(fā)明，被用來測試，根據(jù)前后文的時態(tài)，所以用過去式。故填was put。

【7】on;固定搭配。on a phone講電話。故填on。

【8】clearly;副詞修飾動詞。hear clearly聽得清晰。故填clearly。

【9】but;根據(jù)前后文，可知Bell發(fā)明了手機，但是在自己工作的地方卻不用手機。所以此處應(yīng)該表達(dá)轉(zhuǎn)折。故填but。

【10】annoying;考查動詞的形容詞形式。annoy的形容詞有兩個形式，annoying和annoyed，前者修飾物，后者修飾人，此處用來修飾phone。故填annoying。
