任务型阅读（共10空, 每空1分，满分10分）(每空一词)
What do you think is the most important invention in the world? The TV? The printer? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are three other important inventions.
One of the simplest inventions is the toilet. Before toilets, people poured or dumped waste into rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another important invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter. After hay(干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read, write and do “close work” after the age of 45. Without glasses, the word would be difficult for the people above 45.

解析

试题分析：本文讲述了三种重要而简单的发明，并说明了它们的重要性。
小题1:根据Here are three other important inventions.可知，本文主要讲述了发明。所以本空填Inventions。
小题2:根据开头What do you think is the most important invention in the world?以及本栏下方的物品可知，本空主要是讲的重要发明，所以本题填important。
小题3:通过阅读可知，本栏中的三项发明是除前面提到的几种发明以外的，Here are three other important inventions.，故应该填other，表示“三种其他简单的发明。”
小题4:根据The TV? The printer? The telephone? Or the computer?可知，本空应填telephone。
小题5:根据 Before toilets, people poured or dumped waste into rivers 可知，人们将废水倒进河里，也就是废水进入河中，故应填 ran/went/came。
小题6:根据 it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.可知，很难找，也就是不容易，所以本题填easy。
小题7:根据 most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter.可知，本空应该填killed。
小题8:根据表格可知，本题就是第三项发明，通过文章可知，应是glasses“眼镜”。所以本题填Glasses。
小题9:根据Glasses help people read, write 可知，本题应是write，由于read用reading，故write也应该用writing。
小题10:根据Without glasses, the word would be difficult for the people above 45.可知，没有眼镜，对于45岁以上的人这些字是很难看清的。所谓above，也就是more than“超过”的意思。所以本题填more。
