【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了竹子的历史及用途，并指出竹子在中国文化中的代表意义。

【1】musical 考查形容词。句意：它被用作食物，衣服，房屋，交通工具，音乐器材甚至武器。此处修饰名词用形容词，故填musical。

【2】application 考查名词。句意：竹子在科技方面的应用是令人惊奇的。此处作主语，故用名词形式application。

【3】led 考查动词的时态。在公元前251，李冰带领人修建了都江堰。该动作发生在过去，故用led。

【4】an 考查冠词。played an important role“起着重要的作用”，是固定短语，故用an。

【5】made 考查固定短语。句意：世界上最古老的水管用竹子制成。be made of “由……制成”，故用made。

【6】successfully 考查副词。句意：在汉代，人们成功地打出了1600米深的水井。修饰动词用副词，故用successfully。

【7】until 考查连词。句意：这项技术直到19世纪才传播到欧洲。not...until...“直到……才……”，固定搭配。

【8】that 考查强调句型。句意：正是这项技术才使美国在1859年在宾夕法尼亚打出了第一口油井。此句为强调句，故用that。

【9】one 考查固定短语。one of...“……之一”。句意：在中国，竹子作为四君子之一而闻名。故用one。

【10】facing 考查非谓语动词。句意：当面对困难时，竹子文化鼓励人们坚持。根据与主语people是主动关系，故此处用facing作状语。

【知识拓展】

一．强调句的使用:：

1、用It is／was...that／who...句型表示强调。

（1）陈述句的强调句型：It is/was+被强调部分（通常是主语、宾语或状语）+that/who（当强调主语且主语指人）+其它部分。 e.g. It was yesterday that he met Li Ping.

（2）一般疑问句的强调句型：同上，只是把is/was提到it前面。 e.g. Was it yesterday that he met Li Ping?

（3）特殊疑问句的强调句型：被强调部分（通常是疑问代词或疑问副词）+is/was+it+that/who+其它部分？e.g. When and where was it that you were born?

注：被强调的部分（通常是句子的主语、状语、宾语或宾语补足语）放在is／was的后面，如被强调的是人，则后面可用who，whom等代替。

2、用助动词do, does或did来强调谓语动词。

如：Do come early. He did send you a letter last week.

3、用主语从句+be+被强调部分，主语从句常用what引导。

如：What John wants is a ball.---What Mary does every day is(to) give piano lessons.

二。not...until...句型的强调句：

1、句型为：It is/was not until+被强调部分+that+其它部分：

e.g. 普通句：He didn't go to bed until/till his wife came back.

强调句：It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.

2、注意：此句型只用until，不用till。但如果不是强调句型，till, until可通用；

因为句型中It is/was not...已经是否定句了，that后面的从句要用肯定句，切勿再用否定句了。三。谓语动词的强调：

1、It is/was...that...结构不能强调谓语，如果需要强调谓语时，用助动词do/does或did。

e.g. Do sit down.务必请坐。

2、注意：此种强调只用do/does和did，没有别的形式；过去时用did，后面的谓语动词用原形。
