10led

【解析】本文主要说了Eli Whitney发明的轧棉机给予了人们很大的帮助,并且对此进行了详细的说明。

1本句意为想一些比较有名并且经常会被提到的发明家,紧接着后面举例了爱迪生,因为是一个名词,所以举例时应该用介词as

2本句意为Eli Whitney是因为他轧棉机的发明而被众所周知的,be known for是固定搭配的词组,意为由于而出名。故填for

3本句意为轧棉机是用来从棉花种子中拉取棉花纤维的机器。That是用来指代前面的轧棉机的,后面是说轧棉机的用法,是被使用于…”的意思,用be+done的形式,故填is used

4本句意为轧棉机早期在美国南部地区是一个开拓性的发明。这里主语是轧棉机,宾语是开拓性的发明,后面的early可以得知是过去的事情。故填was

5这里是说轧棉机有一个积极的优点。“great positive effect”是名词,前面需要定冠词。故填a

6本句意为轧棉机有一个同样重要的原因。equal用来修饰后面的important,副词用来修饰形容词,故填equally

7这里是说Whitney的轧棉机有什么样的作用,主语是轧棉机,从句表目的时可以用不定式或现在分词。故填raising/to raise

8本句意为这里只有一些可以种棉花的土地。A few一些的意思,后面可以加可数名词,故填fields

9在这里是指带动了棉花产品的上升,因此要将produce变成名词形式。故填production

10这里主要是指轧棉机在过去带来的一系列好处,是过去发生的事情,因此动词要用一般过去时。故填led
