（1）句意：我很担心，因为我在使用电脑之前应该问一下我爸爸。根据 I was worried我很担心，可知是因为我在使用电脑之前应该问一下我爸爸，应用连词 because/since/as表“因为”。故答案为 because/since/as 。

【解析】【分析】大意：本文主要介绍了沙子这种常见的景观。

（1）句意：然而，联合国说，沙子并不是无限的，我们有可能会用完它们。run out of“用完，用尽”的意思。这里用it来指代上文的沙子（sand是不可数名词）。故答案为：it。

（2）句意：沙子由非常小的岩石、土壤和矿物质组成。根据rock, soil and minerals（矿物质）可知，这是几种成分，因此piece用复数pieces。故答案为：pieces。

（3）句意：但现在我们使用沙子的速度比它形成的速度要快。根据副词修饰动词可知，此处应用形容词quick的副词形式quickly修饰动词use“使用”。故答案为：quickly。

（4）句意：据英国广播公司报道，我们每年用大约150亿吨沙子建造房屋、道路和其他东西。根据固定搭配 use sth. to do sth. 用某物做某物，可知此处用动词不定式to do做目的状语。故答案为：to。

（7）句意：2010年，他们用9400万立方米的沙子建造。根据时间状语In 2010可知，本题的时态为一般过去时。动词take的过去式为took。故答案为：took。

（8）句意：如果人们继续使用这么多沙子，它会在很多地方用完。根据固定搭配keep doing sth. 继续做某事，可知此处应用动名词做宾语，动词use的动名词为using。故答案为：using。

（9）句意：由于人们需要这么多沙子，他们正试图开采更多的沙子。由语境和音标 [sins] 提示可知，填：since，表自……以来、因为、由于。句首单词首字母要大写。故答案为：Since。

（10）句意：开采沙可能会导致海滩消失，在靠近大海的地方会发生更多的洪水。根据beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea海滩消失，在靠近大海的地方会发生更多的洪水，可知这些是开采沙所导致的后果，因此填：cause。may是情态动词，后跟动词原形。故答案为：cause。

The reason is ________it can very quickly transmit written documents. Who knows how many other inventions just need to be recognized as valuable?

【答案】 because；value；was invented；electrically；useless；a/any；wires；for；equipment；that

【解析】【分析】主要讲了一些发明因为人们不能想象它们的价值而失去，列举传真机器的发明来说明这点。

（1）句意：足够奇怪的是，因为人们不能想象它们的价值，所以一些发明消失了。后句表示原因，所以用because；形容词修物主代词修饰名词，their它们的，形容词修物主代词，所以后面用形容词valuable的名词value，不可数名词，故填because，value。

（2）句意：传真的科技在19世纪被发明。invent发明，实义动词，主语technology是动作invent的承受者，时态是一般过去时，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，结构是was/were+动词过去分词，主语technology是不可数名词，所以用was，invent的过去分词是invented，故填was invented。

（3）句意：1843年，亚历山大贝恩发明了一种电子传输文字的机器。electrical电子的，形容词，副词修饰实义动词，transmit传输，实义动词，所以用副词electrically，电子地，故填electrically。

（4）句意：起初，它被认为是无用的，因为很少有人认为有必要通过电线传输文字。be considere形容词，表示被认为怎么样，固定搭配，根据后文可知传真的作用后来才被认可，所以起初被认为是无用的，use使用，实义动词，其形容词是useless，无用的；原因是很少人认为有必要，few表示否定，所以用a/any；wire，电线，可数名词，前面没有表示单数的a或者one，所以用复数wires，故填useless；a/any；wires。

（5）句意：最终，这项发明的价值得以实现，并被改进为办公用途。为了办公用途才被改进，所以用for，为了，故填for。

（6）句意：到了20世纪80年代，传真机已成为办公室的标准设备。equip，装备，实义动词，形容词修饰名词，standard，标准的，形容词，所以用equip的名词equipment，设备，不可数名词，故填equipment。

（7）句意：原因是它能很快地传送书面文件。the reason is that...，原因是……，固定搭配，故填that。

【点评】考查语法填空，考查词汇在语篇中的运用能力。注意理解句意，首先读一遍，然后再逐一作答。注意句型、搭配、短语及语境。
