【解析】

 试题分析：本文描述了一个笑话，三人讨论的是世界上最伟大的奇迹是什么，一个说是金字塔，一个说是电脑，而第三个人却说是暖水瓶，并给出了一个令人啼笑皆非的答案。

1.根据后面的介词about可知所填的词应该为一不及物动词，所填空之前有一个be动词were，可知应用进行时，在结合后面的宾语是世界上最了不起的奇迹，故可推知答案应该为谈论，即talking。

2.根据第一个人的话可知金字塔任然屹立在那里，再结合句首字母前句推测应该是说金字塔是人们在几千年前建造的，即built，注意时态应该用一般过去时。

3.结合前后两句话的内容可知，此处指的是他们当时没有我们现在的现代化机器，他们是怎么建成的呢？故答案为modern。

4.宾语从句的内容是说金字塔是伟大的，可知前后应该是顺承关系，即用承认比较合适，时态为一般现在时，故答案为agree。

5.每个人都知道巨大变化的发生应该是在计算机诞生之后出现的，即我们人类发明计算机之后，故答案为invented。

6.句首说三个人在讨论，前面已经有两个人发言了，顺理成章地现在说话的应该是第三个人，即third。

7.根据第三个人后面的话I think the most wonderful thing is the thermos(热水瓶).可推测，他应该是不同意前两个人的观点的，故答案为disagree。

8.根据后面的感叹句和“ Why? It’s a simple(简单) thing.”可知，此处应该是表达强烈的感情，即吃惊。所以，他们两个人应该是对第三个人的言语感到意外的，故答案为surprised。

9.根据“把水放在里面他可以保温”和后面的In Summer形成对比，可知此处说的是在冬天，即答案为winter。

10.此处应该是特殊疑问词引导的宾语从句，后面说“是冬天还是夏天”，所以应该用when，即暖水瓶怎么知道什么时间是冬天什么时间是夏天呢？故答案为when。
