答案解析:
1. E 空格处需填一形容词,即从E、J、L、M中选择。过去分词一般用于主语是人的句子,排除J;结合常理,忘性大常常令人懊恼,故E最符合文章。
2. I 根据定语从句谓语see可知,主语要么是人要么是眼镜,由下句the use的提示,故选I。
3. A 该空需填入一个动词,即从备选项A、H中选择,有allow sb. to do sth.的结构,且语义符合文意,故选A。
4. F 由上文的label items可推知F最符合文意。
5. C 该空需填入一个形容词,由下文的fill in可推知C(空白的)最符合文意。
6. D 由该句中的相关信息词mechanics(机械师)和identify machine parts可推知D最符合文意。
7. J 该空需填入一个形容词修饰名词device(设备),由常识可知工厂里的设备通常都很复杂,正因为复杂,不容易记住,才有必要使用这种新型眼镜,故J最符合文意。
8. B 该句主句的基本句子结构是A car mechanic could find where a part is,介词for和应填的词在句中作插入万分,结合选项,B最符合文意。
9. H 该空应填入动词原形,从词义上能排出A,H符合文意。
10. G 分析句子结构可知,该空应填入一个非谓语动词,结合句意"在其他情况下,人们可以戴着这种眼镜随团旅游,______名胜景点……"可知,G(指示)最符合文意。
