试题分析：这篇文章说的是三个人在谈论世界上最伟大的奇迹。三人各有各的观点，其中第三个人的说法很让我们大吃一惊。

1.句意：三个人在谈论世界上最伟大的奇迹。talk about 谈论。

2.句意：尽管人们修建金字塔已经几千年了，它依然屹立不倒。此处说的是修建金字塔，是过去的事，应该用过去式。

3.句意：那个时候的人们没有我们现代的机器。modern 现代的。

4.句意：我同意金字塔是伟大的。这里是第二个人同样觉得金字塔很伟大，但后面有转折。

5.句意：每个人都知道自从人们发明了计算机它就极大地改变了这个世界。invent 发明。

6.句意：然后第三个人说道。由上文可知现在该第三个人发言了。

7.句意：我不同意你们两个。我认为最伟大的发明是真空瓶。由他的下一句话可知第三个人并不同意前两个人的话。

8.句意：另外两个人都很吃惊。听到第三个人说的话，前两个人都觉得很吃惊。所以他们接下来问Why?

9.句意：在冬天你放进热水它会保温；在夏天放进凉水它会保持凉。因为下句提到了夏天，所以这里是与夏天相对的冬天。
