【解析】
本文主要讲述语言文字的演变过程,第一份字母表的出现,以及中国发明纸,今天,人们也在用文字来沟通。
【1】句意:你知道第一份字母表示什么时候出现的吗?
考查定冠词,序数词前用定冠词the修饰,(序数词前已经有代词需要则不需要),故答案为the。
【2】句意:最近的研究表明,埃及在公元前1900年左右第一次开始使用字母表。
考查被动语态,构成结构是be动词+动词过去分词,it和use之间是被动关系,时态为过去时,故答案为was used。
【3】句意:后来,古希腊人根据这份字母表创造了他们自己的字母表。
考查形容词性物主代词,形容词own(自己的,特有的)常和名词所有格或形容词性物主代词one’s(my/our/your/his/her/its/their)一起使用,以加强语气,故答案为their。
【4】句意:通过观察罗马字母表里的字母,你可以发现这些字母几乎保留在我们现代英语字母表里。
考查名词复数,letter为可数名词,前用these“这些”来修饰,名词为复数形式,故答案为letters。
【5】句意:一个相似的事件发生在东部。
考查动词时态,空白处充当谓语,根据上下文时态为一般过去时,需要注意的是happen“发生”没有被动语态,故答案为happened。
【6】句意:中国在公元2世纪早期发明了纸,在此之前,书面交流是在石头和贝壳上进行的。
考查介词,on意为“在……上面”,文字写在石头和贝壳的上面,故答案为on。
【7】句意:古代中国人发明了他们自己的符号系统,最后变成了字母表。
考查定语从句,关系代词that/which在定语从句中作主语指代先行词symbols,指物的时候关系代词which/that都可,指人只能用that,并且不可省略,故答案为that/which。
【8】句意:今天的汉语拼音是单一音标符号和呈现一个词或一个意思的符号的结合体。
考查形容词,空白处需要填入形容词修饰名词alphabet,China为名词词性,变形容词为Chinese,故答案为Chinese。
【9】句意:它是一种外观美丽、发音美妙的语言。
考查名词,空白处需填入名词,汉语拼音属于语言,language“语言;语言文字;说话;某种类型的语言”,故空白处为language。
【10】句意:今天人们使用字母和符号相互通信,但象形文字并没有消失。
考查连词,前后表示转折关系,意为象形文字一直都在,故答案为but。
