The word “qípáo” did not appear until the 20th century and is one of a number of 【1】 (word) used to refer to clothing.

It was in Shanghai 【2】 it is still well-known that it took shape.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了关于旗袍的相关信息。

【1】考查名词复数。word为可数名词，由空前的修饰词 one of a number of可知，此处要用word的复数形式。故填words。

【2】考查定语从句。句中It was…that为强调句，在强调句中Shanghai后为限制性定语从句，先行词为Shanghai，关系副词在定语从句中作地点状语，应该用 where。故填where。

【3】考查形容词。所填词修饰名词 designs，形容词可以修饰名词，所以要用variety的形容词形式，variety的形容词形式为 various， various designs意为“各种各样的设计”。故填various。

【4】考查形容词。句中为系表结构，were（be）后可以跟形容词作表语，句子主语为women，指人，所以要用ed结尾的形容词delighted，句意为“那时的女士对于旗袍的出现感到尤其高兴”。故填delighted。

【5】考查时态和语态。句中时间状语为in 1928，表示过去的点时间，要用动词的一般过去时，表示动作或状态发生、存在在过去。strengthen既可用作及物动词，为“加强，巩固”；又可用作不及物动词，为“变强”。strengthen用作不及物动词，直接用其一般过去时，所以填strengthened。strengthen用作及物动词，句子主语是 Its status，与谓语动词 strengthen是动宾关系，主语是动作的接受者，要用被动语态。所以要用动词的一般过去时的被动语态，主语为第三人称单数，所以填was strengthened。故填strengthened 或was strengthened。

【6】考查介词。句子中所填词前的 more likely，为形容词比较级，是by a call girl 和by an activist二者之间的比较，要用介词than用以引出比较的第二部分。故填than。

【7】考查副词。句中动词为is used，修饰动词要用副词，所以要用common的副词形式。故填commonly。

【8】考查名词。句中定冠词the和 介词短语of understanding its history，都要修饰名词，所填词应为名词，所以用necessary的名词形式necessity（必然性）。故填necessity。

【9】考查同位语从句。doubt后为同位语从句，解释说明 doubt的具体内容，从句中不缺少句子成分且意义完整，要用引导词that引导。 There is no doubt that…为“毫无疑问……”。故填that。

【10】考查非谓语动词。be worth doing意为“值得做……”，为固定搭配。worth后跟动名词，故填exploring。

在做语法填空题时，有关语态的考点要注意有些词汇既可以用作及物动词也可以用作不及物动词。用作及物动词有被动语态，而用作不及物动词是没有被动语态的。strengthen就是这样性质的一个词汇。

strengthen：使某物牢固，用于具体物质时，可指结构、强度的增强，也可用于抽象事物，如权势、效力、影响、体制的增强，用于人既可指体力、精力、抵抗力的增强，也可指勇气、意志、道德等的增强或提升。

strengthen既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时，可接名词或代词作宾语。可用于被动结构。

He has been brought in to strengthen the defense . 已请他来加强后卫力量。

We will strengthen the protection of wet land.我们将加强湿地保护。

Every effort was made to strengthen unity.大家尽力加强团结。
