The Invention of the Bicycle
The bicycle is a popular way to get around. But do you know how it was invented? In the early 1800s, there were no bicycles like we have today. People walked or rode horses.
In 1817, a German inventor named Karl Drais 1 a new kind of "running machine". He designed it with a wooden frame(框架) and two wheels, but it had no pedals(踏板). People had to 2 it forward with their feet while sitting on a simple seat. This early model was quite 3 to control and turn smoothly. Many people found it hard to ride. As a result, the "running machine" soon became 4.
In 1861, French brothers Pierre and Ernest Michaux made an improvement. They created the first bicycle with pedals. This invention made it much easier to move forward. However, this new design also had its problems. The front wheel was very big, which made the bicycle tall. When riders hit a small stone on the road, they were likely to lose control and 5. Also, these bicycles were 6 to make. Only a few people could afford(买得起) them.
In 1885, Englishman John Kemp Starley invented a better bicycle. It had two wheels of the 7 size and a chain to move the back wheel. This was the modern bicycle we know today. The new design greatly improved the balance. People would ride 8.
Thanks to these 9 people, we can enjoy riding bicycles now. Today, bicycles are not only convenient but also environmentally 10, making them a great choice for transportation.

解析
【分析】
做完形填空需先通读全文把握主旨（本文讲述自行车的发明历程），再逐句结合语境、词义辨析及逻辑关系分析每个空格，排除不符合的选项，选出最佳答案。每个空需联系上下文的提示信息，如后文的解释、转折词等辅助判断。
【解析】
1. 句意：1817年，德国发明家Karl Drais想到了一种新的“跑步机器”。thought of（想到）符合发明创造的语境；looked for（寻找）、gave up（放弃）不符合，故选A。
2. 句意：早期的“跑步机器”没有踏板，人们需坐在座位上用脚向前推它。push（推）符合动作逻辑；pull（拉）、lift（举起）不符合，故选A。
3. 句意：早期模型很难控制和顺畅转弯，后文提到“Many people found it hard to ride”，对应difficult（困难的）；easy（容易的）、convenient（方便的）不符合，故选B。
4. 句意：因为难骑，这种“跑步机器”很快变得不受欢迎。unpopular（不受欢迎的）符合结果逻辑；useful（有用的）、famous（著名的）不符合，故选C。
5. 句意：前轮大易失控，撞到石头时会摔下来。fall off（摔下来）符合语境；turn back（往回走）、slow down（减速）不符合，故选B。
6. 句意：很少人买得起，说明制作昂贵。expensive（昂贵的）符合；easy（容易的）、quick（快速的）不符合，故选B。
7. 句意：现代自行车两个轮子尺寸相同，是平衡设计的关键。same（相同的）符合；different（不同的）、new（新的）不符合，故选B。
8. 句意：平衡改善后，人们骑车更安全。safely（安全地）符合；slowly（慢地）、quietly（安静地）不符合，故选C。
9. 句意：感谢这些有创造力的发明家。creative（有创造力的）符合发明家的特质；lucky（幸运的）、kind（善良的）不符合，故选C。
10. 句意：自行车环保，固定搭配environmentally friendly（环保的）；friendly（友好的）符合，bad（坏的）、beautiful（美丽的）不符合，故选A。
