【解析】本文介绍了自行车是世界上最简单却也是最有用的发明之一。最令人意外的是虽然伟大的发明家Leonardo de Vinci早已画出自行车的图纸，也有飞行器和一些其他的东西，但是它并没有更早的被发明出来。那些东西知道他去世很久之后才成为产品。

【1】句意：最令人惊讶的是，它不是早先发明的。根据句意可知选invent，被发明用被动句，因此invent的过去分词为invented。所以答案为：invented。

【2】句意：虽然伟大的发明家达·芬奇已经画了自行车、飞行机器和其他东西的图片。由pictures可知，用draw，在由had可知，后接动词的过去分词。所以答案为：drawn。

【3】句意：这些东西在他死后很久才生产出来。本题用not ……until……表达。所以答案为：until。

【4】句意：骑自行车的人用很少的能量就会使自行车运动。结合句意选energy，因为energy为不可数名词。没有复数形式。所以答案为：energy。

【5】句意：即便如此，在大多数发达国家，大多数人不骑自行车上班。结合句意可知用country。由most可知用名词复数，countries； 所以答案为：countries。

【6】句意：并不是因为自行车昂贵。由句意可知选because。所以答案为：because。

【7】句意：人们骑车上班时会感到疲劳。feel后接形容词做表语。所以答案为：tired。

【8】句意：骑自行车肯定会更危险。由句意可知选dangerous。所以答案为：dangerous。

【9】句意：因此，越来越多的人把自行车放在家里，开车去上班。in a car=by car表示一种方式。所以答案为：in。

【10】句意：也许骑自行车更安全、更流行的最好方法是设立自行车专用车道。由句意可知选create。所以答案为：create。
