【解析】

条形码是我们日常生活中经常会用到的,它使我们的生活更加方便。你知道条形码是谁发明的吗?这篇短文给我们介绍了这段历史。

1句意:对于条形码这项发明你知道什么吗?

invent发明,是一个动词。空前有the,空后有of,这个空应用名词形式。invent的名词是invention,意为“发明,发明物”,空后只提到了一种发明,应用单数形式。故答案为invention

2句意:一个小食品店的老板发现很难保存产品信息的记录。

空后small food store owner“小食品店的老板”,是一个名词单数形式,结合文意这里表示泛指“一个……”,因此这个空填不定冠词。small是辅音音素开头,应用a修饰,位于句首,第一个字母大写。故答案为A

3句意:1948年,他要求德雷塞尔研究所来解决这个问题。

solve解决,是一个动词。根据句子结构可知,该句中使用了句型ask sb. to do sth.“要求某人做某事”,这里应用动词不定式作宾语补足语。故答案为to solve

4句意:伯纳德·西尔弗是一名研究生,他对这项技术很感兴趣。

interest兴趣,使感兴趣,可以作动词或名词。由空前的was是系动词,这个空应填形容词形式。而且主语是人,表示“某人感兴趣的”,应用interestedinteresting也是形容词,它用来形容物,表示“令人感兴趣的”。故答案为interested

5句意:很快,他们发明了他们的第一个工作系统。

they他们,是人称代词主格形式。结合句意和空后的first working system是名词可知,该空应用形容词性物主代词,作定语,修饰名词。故答案为their

6句意:这个系统一开始确实有效,但它非常昂贵,有时系统也不太好用。

根据句意可知,这里考查的是固定短语at first,意为“开始,起初”。故答案为at

7句意:最后,Woodland解决了它们。

final最后的,最终的,是一个形容词。由句子结构可知,该空修饰的是后面整句话的内容,应用副词形式。位于句首,第一个字母大写,故答案为Finally

8句意:在1949SilverWoodland申请了条形码系统的专利,但直到1952年才获得该专利。

根据句意可知,这里表示“直到……时候,才……”,考查not…until…,所以这个空应填的是until,意为“直到……时候”,可以作连词或介词。故答案为until

9句意:虽然专利给了,但是这个系统仍然不受商店老板的欢迎。

give给,是一个动词。根据句意可知,该句主语this patent与动词give构成被动关系,应用被动语态,空前有了was,该空应填过去分词形式。故答案为given

10句意:从那以后,它变得非常受欢迎,现在全世界所有的商店都在使用它。

type类型,种类,是一个名词。空前有all修饰,表示“所有的”,因此名词应变为复数形式。故答案为types

这是一篇说明文,短文介绍了条形码的由来。文章主题明确,内容贴近日常生活,比较容易理解。题型是语法填空,考查方式有两种:一种是用空后所给单词的正确形式填空,这种类型主要考查实词的用法,如动词、名词、形容词、副词等;另一种是没有给出提示词,要求填写适当的单词,这种类型主要考查虚词的用法,如介词、冠词、连词等。其中第一种考查方式所占的题目较多一些。学生应熟悉各个词类的相关语法,如名词单复数、所有格;动词的时态、被动语态、非谓语动词;形容词和副词的比较级以及词性转化;介词、冠词的固定搭配等等。如第1小题、第4小题和第7小题,考查了词性的转化;再如第3小题和第9小题考查了动词的用法。

【题目】请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Do pretty school uniforms lead to early romance?

A technical secondary school in Nanjing planned to order Korean-style school uniforms for students, but parents didn’t agree because they believed that the new uniforms looked too good and would encourage early romances among the students.

Parents

“My daughter was so excited about the Korean-style uniform, saying it’s her dream to wear mini-skirt to school every day,” a mom complained. “Girls also talk about how handsome the boys looked in the uniform! If the students wear such beautiful uniforms, how can they study well? I prefer the sports wear which makes me think of health and positive(积极的) thinking.”

Students

The students are sorry about the school’s final decision. They think the sports wear uniforms make them look androgynous (难分性别).

They said the Korean-style uniform has many advantages such as raising interest in class and lifting confidence. It is also considered to be a good way to develop their sense of pride for the school and help then create good temperaments(气质).

As for romance, the students believe that love is love and has nothing to do with the uniform.

School

“The plan to change the school uniform from sports wear has been cancelled,” Mr Lin, a teacher, told the interviewer.

“The students dislike the present uniform, most of the students prefer Korean style school uniforms. We know cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou have changed their sports wear school uniforms to more fashionable uniforms. However, we had to stop the plan because many parents are strongly against it. Some parents think it’s just a way for the school to make money, and others think the new uniforms will take students’ attention away from their studies,” Lin said.

When asked about the problems with early romance between students because of the more fashionable uniforms, Lin said he hadn’t considered it. He, however, agreed that the Korean-style uniform makes the students more attractive.

Education department

“We don’t have a unified (统一的) standard for school uniforms. The schools can choose their own styles. Either sports wear or uniforms are OK,” an official said.
