【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于說明文，介紹了the Mars rover在火星上進行科學研究的具體信息。

【1】hopefully 考查副詞。在英語中副詞通常做狀語修飾形容詞、副詞或動詞，本句中使用副詞hopefully做狀語修飾謂語部分。這個巨大的紅色星球對我們所有人來說是一個謎，但是很有希望不會太久就可以解開這個謎了。

【2】named 考查分詞做定語。本句中名詞the Mars rover與動詞name之間構成被動關系，所以使用過去分詞短語在句做定語修飾名詞the Mars rover。

【3】if/whether 考查賓語從句。本句中if/whether引導賓語從句作為動詞短語find out的賓語，在句中不充當任何成分。

【4】where考查定語從句。本題定語從句的先行詞是the place，定語從句動詞land是不及物動詞，后面不需要直接接賓語，句子結構很完整，所以使用關系副詞where引導定語從句，在句中做狀語。

【5】although/though/while 考查連詞。盡管這些工具只有三米長，大約是一輛汽車大小，但Curiosity使用了很多這樣的工具。上下文之間是轉折關系，所以使用although/though/while引導。

【6】its考查所有格。本句中橫線有名詞短語own laser gun，所以使用所有格its修飾。

【7】a 考查固定搭配。短語an amount of許多，amount前面有形容詞small修飾，所以在small前面加a。激光槍把很多巖石變成氣體。

【8】is made 考查固定搭配。固定短語be made up of由...組成；Curiosity能夠研究巖石由什么組成的。

【9】With考查介詞短語。短語with the help of在...的幫助下；在這些工具的幫助下，Curiosity將作為一個機器地理專家。

【10】collecting 考查分詞做狀語。動詞collect與句子主語it構成主動關系，所以使用現(xiàn)在分詞collecting在句中做狀語。
