這篇短文介紹了喬治·斯蒂芬森童年時(shí)雖然沒有上過學(xué)，但是通過自己的辛勤勞動(dòng)和不懈努力，最后成為一名偉大的發(fā)明家，他發(fā)明的火車人們一直在改進(jìn)，現(xiàn)在人們已經(jīng)發(fā)展了多種高速列車。

【1】句意：有運(yùn)送人的火車，運(yùn)送動(dòng)物或物品的火車。

根據(jù)“trains to carry people, trains to carry animals”并結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，可知此處指運(yùn)送物品的火車，thing東西，物品，此處用名詞復(fù)數(shù)表示類別，故填things。

【2】句意：當(dāng)我觀看火車或坐火車從一個(gè)地方到另一個(gè)地方時(shí)，我常常會(huì)想起這位偉人喬治·斯蒂芬森。

根據(jù)“from one place to another”可知此處指乘坐火車；take trains乘坐火車，故填take。

【3】句意：當(dāng)喬治十四歲時(shí)，他成為他的父親的助手。

根據(jù)his及helper可知此處缺少限定詞，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)及句意，可知此處指他成為他的父親的助手，father父親，名詞所有格形式為father’s，結(jié)合句意，故填father’s.

【4】句意：他花費(fèi)了很多時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)。

learn about學(xué)習(xí)關(guān)于……；spend time doing sth花費(fèi)時(shí)間做某事。結(jié)合句意，故填learning。

【5】句意：在假期，他經(jīng)常把發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)拆成零件并對(duì)每一零件都仔細(xì)研究。

根據(jù)后文“Soon he became a very good worker…”可知此處指他認(rèn)真研究每個(gè)零件，careful仔細(xì)的，認(rèn)真的，形容詞，對(duì)應(yīng)的副詞為carefully，此處用副詞修飾動(dòng)詞，故填carefully。

【6】句意：雖然他不會(huì)讀不會(huì)寫，但很快他就成了一個(gè)很好的工人。

根據(jù)句中結(jié)構(gòu)可知此處缺少情態(tài)動(dòng)詞或者助動(dòng)詞，結(jié)合所給詞匯，可知此處指他不能讀不能寫；can能，情態(tài)動(dòng)詞，根據(jù)短文介紹的是過去的事情，所以用一般過去時(shí)，故填could。

【7】句意：每天上完十二個(gè)小時(shí)的艱苦工作后，他走很長一段路去上一位年輕教師的課。

此處缺少謂語動(dòng)詞；根據(jù)“a long way”并結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知此處指他走很長的路，walk步行，根據(jù)短文介紹的是過去的事情，所以用一般過去時(shí)，故填walked。

【8】句意：在他十八歲生日那天，他的名字是他有生以來第一次自己寫的。

根據(jù)上文他學(xué)習(xí)努力學(xué)習(xí)英語，可知此處指他自己寫了自己的名字，by oneself靠自己，he對(duì)應(yīng)的反身代詞為himself他自己，結(jié)合句意，故填himself。

【9】句意：火車是發(fā)明中最偉大的一個(gè)。

火車是偉大的發(fā)明，great偉大的；根據(jù)比較范圍“among them.”可知此處填寫形容詞最高級(jí)，故填greatest。

【10】句意：到目前為止，在中國人們已經(jīng)發(fā)展了許多種高速列車。

have+動(dòng)詞過去分詞，構(gòu)成現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)；根據(jù)后文的舉例可知人們發(fā)展了許多高速火車，develop發(fā)展，過去分詞為developed，結(jié)合句意，故填developed。

選詞填空使短文完整的試題，首先要通讀短文弄清短文大意，短文的主要時(shí)態(tài)，然后聯(lián)系上下文推斷空缺處的意思，結(jié)合所給詞匯，做出選擇，同時(shí)要注意用所選詞匯的正確形式。最后再讀短文以保證句意連貫，意思通順，結(jié)構(gòu)正確。例如小題9，根據(jù)上文“George invented many things in his life.” 可知此處指火車是發(fā)明中……的一個(gè)，此處填寫形容詞，對(duì)比選項(xiàng)，可知此處指火車是偉大的發(fā)明，根據(jù)比較級(jí)范圍among them，可知此處填寫最高級(jí)，故填greatest。
