【6】alone

【解析】

本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述卡蒂布曼通过不懈的努力成功拍摄到了黑洞的照片。

【1】句意“这幅画立刻变得出名了”。

根据系动词become可知，后跟形容词。根据For the first time in history“历史上第一次”可知，表示“出名的”。famous出名的，故答案是famous。

【2】句意“没有她的努力，具有历史意义的图象是不可能的”。

根据空后名词effort可知，空处用形容词性物主代词，根据前文a computer scientist，Katie Bouman可知，填her，她的，故答案是her。

【3】句意“拍摄这样的一个照片是不容易的”。

根据It is +adj +to do sth可知，空处用be动词，且根据上下文可知，用一般现在时is，根据Black holes are very far away可知，黑洞太远，所以拍摄黑洞的照片不容易，用否定形式，故答案是isn't。

【4】句意“然而，他们当中没有人成功”。

根据句式可知，空处用谓语。根据Many scientists had tried“许多科学家尝试”以及however可知，表示“没有人成功”。succeed动词，成功，根据句意可知，用一般过去时，故答案是succeeded。

【5】句意“这些年来，她已经不断改进这个项目”。根据空前the可知，空处用名词。根据the scientist started working on a special computer programme“科学家开始从事一个特殊的计算机程序”可知，她已经改进了这个项目。programme名词，项目，故答案是programme。

【6】句意“我们谁也不能一个人做这件事”。根据She says the efforts of her colleagues（同事）were important，too“她说她的同事的努力也很重要”可知，表示“不能一个人做这件事”。alone副词，独自地，故答案是alone。
