答案

【解析】:
这是一道英语词汇运用题,主要考查学生对词性变换、代词、介词、动词时态和语态、非限制性定语从句以及形容词比较级等知识点的掌握。解题关键在于根据句子结构和语境,准确判断所需词汇的词性和形式。
1. “it”的形容词性物主代词形式:在“At the height of (1) (it) power”中,需要一个形容词性物主代词来修饰名词“power”,所以填“its”。
2. “support”后的介词:“support from...”表示“来自……的支持”,所以(2)填“from”。
3. “appear”的时态:根据“During this period”可知,句子描述的是过去发生的事情,要用一般过去时,所以(3)填“appeared”。
4. “applications”前的形容词:“applications”是名词,前面需要用形容词修饰,“practice”的形容词形式是“practical”,所以(4)填“practical”。
5. “blocks”的被动语态:“blocks”和“use”之间是被动关系,即“被使用”,且根据语境可知是过去被使用,所以要用过去分词形式,(5)填“be used”。
6. 非限制性定语从句引导词:前后句是对比关系,“The Chinese language uses a huge number of characters”和“most European languages use individual letters that combine into words”之间用“while”连接,表示“然而”,所以(6)填“while”。
7. “communication”前的形容词:“communication”是名词,前面用形容词修饰,“write”的形容词形式是“written”,所以(7)填“written”。
8. “number”前的形容词:“a growing number of...”表示“越来越多的……”,所以(8)填“growing”。
9. 非限制性定语从句引导词:“the compass was the first to invent the compass”和“changed how sailors navigated the seas”之间是非限制性定语从句,先行词是“the compass”,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词“which”,(9)填“which”。
10. “safe”的比较级:“much”修饰比较级,“safe”的比较级是“safer”,所以(10)填“safer”。
【答案】:
(1)its
(2)from
(3)appeared
(4)practical
(5)be used
(6)while
(7)written
(8)growing
(9)which
(10)safer

### Ⅴ. 词汇运用
宋朝是中国历史上一个令人振奋的时期。在国力鼎盛之时,国家的人口翻了一番。快速发展的经济以及中国统治者的大力支持,推动了技术的发展和知识的拓展。在此期间,大量的技术革新涌现出来。其中许多都有着重要的实际应用。
这一时期的一项特殊发明在世界上留下了印记:活字印刷术——也就是说,单个的字块可以印刷一个字母,然后再次使用。这项技术几个世纪后最终传到了欧洲。汉语使用大量的汉字,而大多数欧洲语言使用单个字母组合成单词。印刷由单个字母组成的文本需要的字块更少。这项发明在欧洲的书面交流方面产生了巨大变革,也让越来越多的人更容易学会阅读。
中国人也是最早发明指南针的,它改变了水手们在海上的导航方式。指南针与星图(另一项中国发明)和地图一起,使海上旅行安全得多。
