完形填空

　　The bicycle is one of the simplest yet most useful inventions in the world. It is most surprising that it was not 1 earlier, although the great inventor Leonardo de Vinci had drawn pictures for bicycles and also for flying machines and some other things.

　　A person riding a bicycle uses 3 energy to make the bicycle move, and there is no pollution at all when you are riding. Even so, in developed 4 , most people don't go to work by bicycle. It is not because the bicycles are expensive or people feel 5 if they ride to work. It is because 6 cars on the roads becomes larger. It certainly becomes 7 to ride a bicycle. So more people put their bicycles away and go to work 8 their cars and in this way, the situation is getting more serious. 9 the best way to make riding safer and more popular is to create path only for bicycles, and to make 10 so difficult and expensive for drivers to take their cars into the city that they will go back to using their bicycles.

Answer 1

答案：C;D;C;B;D;A;B;B;C;A
解析：

1．语境判断题．根据上下文来看该句应使用一般过去式的被动语态，而it was not其形式正好是被动语态的否定形式，故选用invented． 　　2．语境词汇题．根据上下文来看该句句意为：那些东西直到他去世后很长时间才被制造出来．表示“直到……才”应选用not…until固定句型． 　　3．常识推理题．我们知道：骑自行车是不需要费多大力气的．据此可以排除A，B，D三项．energy是不可数名词，可用very little来修饰，表示“极少，几乎没有”，强调少．故答案选C． 　　4．句意词汇题．根据上下文，该句谈论的是：发达国家的人们不骑自行车去上班．所以选countries． 　　5．句意词汇题．从上下文可以判断：该句说明人们不骑自行车上班的原因．前句的expensive与后句的空白处相呼应．骑自行车是需要力气的，故选tired． 　　6．语境判断题．应注意句中的becomes的单数形式，其前面的主语应是单数，应选用the number of，表示“……的数量”．故答案选A． 　　7．情景推理题．上句使用了比较级，与之呼应的后句，也应选用比较级． 　　8．词汇用法题．在their cars前不能在使用by，应选用介词in． 　　9．从上文可以看出此处是一种设想．纵观四个选项，只有perhaps可以表示一种设想．故答案选C． 　　10．词汇用法题．从句中可以看出：it用作形式宾语，代替后面的动词不定式．故答案选A．
