【解析】本文介紹了全世界的造紙工藝。
(1)句意: 大約2000年前中國制造了第一張紙。根據(jù) 2,000 years ago可知2000年前是一般過去時(shí)的標(biāo)志,make的過去式是made , 故填made。
(2)句意:中國仍然有在那之前制作的紙。pieces of,固定搭配,張,故填of。
(3)句意: 直到大約1100年,紙才在南歐制造出來。Europe是名詞其前是形容詞,south是名詞,southern是形容詞,故填 southern。
(4)句意:斯堪的納維亞半島現(xiàn)在在世界報(bào)紙上占有很大份額,直到1500年才開始發(fā)行。paper是名詞,此處是所有格,故填 world's。
(5)句意:是一個(gè)叫謝弗的德國人發(fā)現(xiàn)人們可以用樹做最好的紙。name和German是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,故用過去分詞做后置定語,故填 named。
(6)句意:此后,森林國家瑞典、挪威、芬蘭和美國成為最大的紙張生產(chǎn)國。描述過去用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),become的過去式是became,故填 became。
(7)句意:今天,在世界上造紙最好的是芬蘭,造紙工業(yè)是世界上最大的。根據(jù) the biggest on the land 可知此處是最高級,good的最高級是best,故填 best。
(8)句意:新的造紙機(jī)很大,而且造紙很快。此處缺少主語,故用主格,them是賓格,主格是they,故填 they。
(9)句意:最大的機(jī)器可以在一分鐘內(nèi)制造出一張長300米、寬6米的紙。此處缺少介詞表示時(shí)間范圍,in one minute,在一分鐘之內(nèi),故填in。
(10)句意:但還有很多其他用途。此處缺少連詞,此處表示前后的對比,故是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系連詞but,故填But。
【點(diǎn)評】考查語法填空,注意謂語的時(shí)態(tài),語態(tài),非謂語動(dòng)詞,詞性,連詞搭配等多種用法。
