It is said that when a German inventor created the first bicycle in 1816. It was two-wheeled and moved along by push of the rider's feet upon the ground. This vehicle was improving in 1839 by a Scottish blacksmith, which invented pedals(踏板). Eventually, bicycles are also made specially for women.

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述人们喜欢骑自行车的原因,以及自行车的发展史。
1. 考查固定短语。此处考查固定短语a way to do sth.“做某事的方法”,其中不定式是名词way的后置定语,故将getting改为get。
2. 考查形容词。句意:在其他一些国家,人们使用它们主要是因为比起其他交通工具来他们更喜欢这种形式。根据句意可知,此处用“其他国家”符合语境,“其他的”是other,故将another改为other。
3. 考查固定短语。此处考查固定短语prefer sth. to sth.“比起某物更喜欢某物”,故将than改为to。
4. 考查连词。句意:据说第一辆自行车是一个德国的发明家于1816年发明的。分析句子可知,此处是主语从句,从句a German inventor created the first bicycle in 1816的成分和意义都完整,应该用连接词that,故删除that后的when。
5. 考查冠词。句意:它有两个轮子,通过骑车人蹬地产生的推力前进。根据句意可知,此处特指“骑车人蹬地产生的推力”,应用定冠词,故在by后加the。
6. 考查语态。分析句子可知,主语vehicle和improve之间是被动关系,时态为一般过去时,故应用一般过去时的被动语态,故将improving改为improved。
7. 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,此处是非限制性定语从句的关系词,先行词a Scottish blacksmith在从句中充当主语,应用指代人的关系词who,故将which改为who。
8. 考查时态。结合上下文可知,此处讲述过去的事情,故应用一般过去时,故将are改为were。
9. 考查形容词比较级。由后文的than判断此处应用比较级,故将big改为bigger。
10. 考查形容词。分析句子可知,此处应用形容词作为become的表语,故将usefully改为useful。
