Question

【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入一个适当的词，或括号内单词的正确形式（不多于3个单词）。

By “luxury(奢侈品)”, we mean "a pleasant and often expensive thing that is not necessary". From a historical point of view, things which were a luxury when they first came into being all became necessities later.

Anything, no matter【1】luxurious it is, will become a necessity, when it is widely used. This is true of many of the present luxuries, among which mobile phones, cars, computers and many other things【2】(include). It is known to all that the purpose of the development of science is【3】(make) things easy for the mankind, not for only【4】small number of people.【5】, the first thing to do after a new invention occurs is to spread it so as to benefit【6】many people as possible. In the course of the spread, the luxury becomes decreasingly luxurious until【7】the end it becomes a necessity. This is an objective law, and【8】can be an exception.

With the quick【9】(develop) of science and technology, the process for many things to become a necessity from a luxury will be greatly shortened. Anything that can be imagined will be invented and in no time becomes a necessity【10】(access) to ordinary people.

【解析】试题分析：本文主要讲述奢侈品的演变过程。随着时间推移科学发展，奢侈品会慢慢变成人们的必需品。

【1】how 考查疑问词。Luxurious是形容词，用how修饰，no matter how“无论怎样”，句意：任何东西无论多么豪华，当广泛被用时都将成为必需品。故填how.

【2】are included考查语态。many other things和include之间的关系为被动关系，要用被动形式，故填are included.

【3】to make考查非谓语动词。句意：众所周知，科学发展的目的是为人类把事情变容易。此处不定式做表语，表目的。故填to make.

【4】a考查冠词。此处指少量的人，a number of“许多”为固定短语，故填a.

【5】Therefore/Thus考查连词。上句指科学发展的目的是为人类把事情变容易。下句指新发明之后第一件事就是传播。两句之间为因果关系，填“因此”，故填Therefore/Thus.

【6】as考查固定短语。此处指使尽可能多的人受益。as many … as possible “尽可能多”是固定短语，故填as.

【7】in考查介词短语。in the end“最后”，句意：在传播过程中，奢侈品逐渐降低奢侈，最后成为必需品。故填in.

【8】nothing考查不定代词。句意：这是一个客观规律，毫无例外。Nothing“没有什么”符合句意，故填nothing.

【9】development考查名词。空前有the quick都是修饰词，所以此处填名词，develop的名词形式是development，故填development.

【10】accessible考查形容词。句意：任何可以想象的东西都将被发明并且不久就会变成普通人可接近的必需品。此处修饰名词necessity，要用形容词，故填accessible.
