【解析】

本文介紹了福特汽車公司的建立者-亨利.福特的故事，他出生于美國密歇根州。

【1】句意：后來他意識到，他喜歡把東西拆開看看它們是如何工作的。

本題空格前面是be動詞was，was后一般常跟名詞和形容詞，從提供的選項看，只有A、C、E這三個選項的形式能填入本空格，將A、C、E分別代入空格，發(fā)現(xiàn)只有B.aware符合題意。故選B。

【2】句意：他動身去底特律開始使用機器。

根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞“for”，可聯(lián)想到“set off for”動身去，符合題意，故答案A。

【3】句意：愛迪生鼓勵他繼續(xù)致力于他的機動無馬馬車計劃，這種車可以取代傳統(tǒng)的馬車。

根據(jù)“take place of”取代。再結(jié)合所給選項，可推測出：可能是取代傳統(tǒng)的東西（traditional）。代入空格，符合題意。故答案為C。

【4】句意：他沒有在第一家公司待很多年，但是創(chuàng)辦了專業(yè)的福特汽車公司。

從語法上看，本空需填一個形容詞，從形式上看，能選B、C、E。根據(jù)題目要求，選項只能使用一次。選項B、C都已經(jīng)選用，故選E。

【5】根據(jù)“but he was the one who began to make people easily use cars in the United States.”但是他是第一個開始讓美國人容易使用汽車的人�？赏茢�，前面可能是說：福特不是第一個發(fā)明汽車的人。結(jié)合題意，故選C。

【6】句意：一個工人可能安裝車輪，然而，在生產(chǎn)線的另一個地方，另一個工人安裝輪胎。

根據(jù)后文“while at a different spot on the line, another worker put on tires.” 然而，在生產(chǎn)線的不同的地方，另一個工人安裝輪胎。可知，前面的工人也是在安裝車的零部件。根據(jù)所提供選項，只有D.wheels車輪，是車的零部件，符合題意。故選D。

【7】句意：公司可以用這種方法一次生產(chǎn)許多汽車。

顯然，從語法上看，這個句子缺少狀語，結(jié)合選項，at a time “一次，每次”，符合題意，故選E。

【8】句意：福特也因付給工人合理的工資而聞名。

根據(jù)句中的提示詞“paying his workers fair…”付給他的工人合理的……。不難推斷，肯定是工資的事情。而salary是“工資，薪水”，故選A。
