语法填空
【文章大意】本文属于说明文!主要介绍了风筝的传播历史：它由中国建筑师鲁班发明，然后传播到印度等亚洲国家，甚至远播到新西兰！后来由马可波罗传到欧洲。再后来，科学家将风筝用于科学实验中。
61. invention考查动词改为名词。这里使用invent的名词形式，表东“发明物”。句意：风筝被认为是公元前5世纪中国著名工匠鲁班所发明的。
62. was recorded考查被动语态。“风筝被用来发出求救信息”这件事被记载下来。
63.on考查固定短语和介词。From then on表示“从那时起开始”。句意：从那时起开始，风筝 从中国慢慢传到了亚洲国家和欧洲。
64. known考查过去分词。本句的谓语动词是evolved,因此，这里的know应用作非谓语动词， 指the fighter kite在印度被称为“patang”而出名，美国和印度还因此拍过一部叫Patang的电 影。
65. Stories考查名词的单复数。本句的谓语were first brought...是复数，所以主语story应该 用复数。
66. Although/Though考查状语从句引导词和上下文逻辑。注意句中前部分的...initially regarded as mere curiosities，指风筝起初仅仅被当做稀奇看待，再根据本句后部分“在18、19 世纪时，风筝被用来作科研的工具”，这两部分意思有转折关系，所以该空要考虑让步状语从句引导 Although Though。
67. the考查冠词。表示“在第18和19世纪”，序数词前面有定冠词。
68. scientific考查名词变形容词。这里用scientific修饰research,表东“科学研究”。
69. to prove考查不定式。富兰克林提出在暴风雨中用风筝做实验来验证闪电是由电引起的设想。这里用不定式表示目的。
70. actively考查形容词变副词。这里用副词形式修饰动词词组built the first airplane。句意： 莱特兄弟“积极地”建造他们第一架飞机时，也是用风筝作为他们的实验工具。
短文改错
71. spending—spent考查过去分词。holiday承受spend这个动作，因此应用过去分词，表被动，相当于 which/that was spent。
72. but—and考查上下文逻辑和连词。前句谈到作者和好朋友Mike —起乘飞机到西班牙，本句谈他们的飞行旅途令人愉快和放松，可见这两句是并列意义。
73. relaxed—relaxing考查带-ed和-ing的形容词用法。relaxed表东“感到放松”；relaxing表示“令人放松” 。根据句意，这里应用后者，指他们的旅途令人放松)
74. by—on考查介词短语。on foot表示“步行”，该短语容易受到by bus等固定短语的影响， 误写为by foot。
75. where—which/that考查定语从句的引导词。本句的先行词是bus,在定语从句中作主语， 故应用which/that引导。
76. such--so考查副词和形容词。so后应接形容词、副词，such后接名词。这里用so，修饰后面的形容词delicious。
77. all—both前文谈到了作者和他朋友Mike —起到西班牙，应是指他们两人玩得很愉快，所以这里要用both。
78. attracted前加上was考查时态和语态。根据句意，这里指“我”被西班牙所取得的成就所吸引。因为是去年去的，所以要用一般过去时。
79. progresses —progress考查不可数名词。progress是不可数名词。
80.去掉a考查冠词。in fact表示“事实上”，当中没有冠词。

Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany in 1879. He only did things he was interested in, like science and mathematics. At a very early age young Albert started wondering about the mysteries of the universe. After school Einstein went to Switzerland and tried to become a teacher there,but he couldn’t find a job. He went to work at the Swiss patent office in Bern. Later,Albert went to Berlin where he developed many of his scientific theories. Einstein became so well-known that he was invited to universities around the world to talk about his discoveries. In 1921 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics.
In the meantime things were starting to change in Germany. Einstein was against the Nazis and their ideas. The Nazis, in return, hated him and his theories and they burned most of his books. Einstein decided to leave Germany and go to the United States. When World War II broke out in 1939 Einstein discovered that German scientists were working on the atomic bomb. He wrote a letter to the American president to warn him and suggested that the Americans start building one too. For the last twenty years of his life, Einstein lived in Princeton where he continued his scientific work. He died on April 18,1955.
