【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

While I went sightseeing in London, I visited the London Underground. Like most tourists, I was very interested in it as it is the 【1】 (old)system in the world. It is also very complex. I was told that the first part of the underground system opened in 1863 and 【2】 took people from the boundary of London to the city center. The underground passages were very narrow 【3】 (compare) to the last line that was constructed in 1977. when 【4】 (carriage) first ran in these passages, there was lots 【5】 smoke and noise. I think it must have been horrible and damp down there! Another problem was that there were a dozen different lines, 【6】 were not linked. This 【7】(make) the system not user-friendly, but now the different lines have been joined. The union of the different lines makes traveling on the London Underground much more 【8】 (convenience). I bought a ticket at a discount and rode the underground three times. It was good for me 【9】 (have)the experience. Another interesting thing was that the passage were used for all sorts of things during World War II such as bomb shelters and an anti-aircraft centre. It’s 【10】 (true) amazing!

试题分析：通过本文考查学生正确运用英语单词的能力。

【1】oldest句意我对伦敦地铁非常感兴趣，因为它是世界上最古老的系统。定冠词后接最高级，故填oldest。

【2】it 考察代词，并列句，用 it代指上文提到过的伦敦地铁。。

【3】compared 考察固定搭配，句意：与1977年建设的线路比较，这个地铁通道比较狭窄。compared to与…作比较。

【4】carriages 考察可数名词复数，句意：当火车（车厢）第一次在这些通道跑时，有很多的烟雾和噪音。

【5】of考察固定搭配，lots of 很多。

【6】which 考察非限制性定语从句，这里用关系代词which，指代上句的 a dozen different lines，在定语从句中做主语。

【7】made 句意：这就使得系统不太人性化。这里是过去式，故用made。

【8】convenient 句意:不同地铁线路的连接使得乘坐伦敦地铁更加方便。本题考察形容词比较级作宾语补足语。故用convenient。

【9】to have句意:对我来说有这样的体验是很好的。这里不定式to have the experience是真正的主语。

【10】truly句意:这真的令人惊讶。本题考察用副词truly修饰形容词amazing。
