For researchers at the University of Maine are now in ________process of testing an 8metre (25foot) patrol boat that took just 72 hours to make from scratch. Their trick was to build the boat ________(use) a giant 3D printer. Since they appeared in ________(merce) form in the 1990s, generally 3D printers ________ (employ) in factories to make small things like ponents of jetengines and dental crowns(牙冠). Now, a new generation of outsize printers is arriving. These are capable ________turning out much bigger objects than previously possible, and printing them faster. To print the patrol boat, part of an American army project, the team in Maine linked up with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in Tennessee, which helped ________ (develop) the printing process, and Ingersoll Machine Tools, in Illinois, which built the printer itself. The university estimates that for boat building, a mon trade in the state, large 3D printers of this sort will ________(dramatic) cut the cost and time required to produce new ships.【答案】 what；made；though/however；the；using；mercial；have been employed；of；develop / to develop；dramatically 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了大型3D打印機可用來制造船舶。 （1）考查主語從句。句意：造船是一個漫長而枯燥的過程，即使最終從造船臺上滑下來的只是一艘用玻璃纖維等現(xiàn)代材料制造的小船，而非用木板釘成的傳統(tǒng)船只。______ is going down the slipway是when引導的時間狀語從句中的主語從句，主語從句缺少主語，在此表示的事物，故填what。 （2）考查非謂語動詞。此處表示用玻璃纖維等現(xiàn)代材料制造的小船。______(make) from modern materials such as fibreglass用來修飾craft，作定語，craft與make是被動關系，所以用過去分詞，故填made。 （3）考查副詞。句意：不過，現(xiàn)狀可能馬上會發(fā)生改變。根據(jù)前后文語境可知此處表示之前制作大約需要好幾月的實踐，而這一切隨著3D打印的使用可能要發(fā)生改變。所以表示轉折關系，故填however/though。 （4）考查冠詞。句意：緬因大學的研究者正在測試一條 8 米長的巡邏艇，它的建造過程只花了 72 小時。in the process of…固定短語，“在......過程中”，故填the。 （5）考查非謂語動詞。句意：他們的秘密武器，是使用一臺大型的 3D 打印機來造船。分析句子結構可知此句有謂語動詞was，所以use 要使用非謂語，再根據(jù)their trick可知使用者是人，所以人與use是主動關系，所以用現(xiàn)在分詞，故填using。 （6）考查形容詞。句意：自從他們在20世紀90年代以商業(yè)形式出現(xiàn)以來，他們一直被用于工廠制作小的飛機零部件和牙冠。此處修飾form名詞，要用形容詞，故填mercial。 （7）考查時態(tài)語態(tài)。根據(jù)時間狀語since，可知主句用現(xiàn)在完成時，再根據(jù)3D打印機與employ之間是被動關系，所以用現(xiàn)在完成時的被動語態(tài)，再根據(jù)主謂一致?？芍钣胔ave been employed。 （8）考查固定短語。句意：這些打印機能夠制造出比以前更大的物體，并且打印速度更快。be capable of固定短語，“能夠”，故填of。 （9）考查非謂語動詞。help to do/ help do固定短語，“幫助做某事”，故填to develop/ develop。 （10）考查副詞。句意：該大學估計，對于該州常見的行業(yè)——造船來說，這種大型3D打印機將大幅削減生產新船所需的成本和時間。此處修飾動詞cut，要用副詞，故填dramatically。 【點評】本題考點涉及主語從句，非謂語動詞，副詞，冠詞，形容詞，時態(tài)語態(tài)以及副詞等多個知識點的考查，是一篇科技類閱讀，要求考生在理解細節(jié)信息的基礎上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，并結合相關語法知識，進行分析推理，從而寫出正確的單詞形式。 8．閱讀下面短文，在空白處填入1個適當?shù)膯卧~或括號內單詞的正確形式。 Cuju was developed in China around 500 B.
