答案及剖析:

1.was completed 考查时态和语态。主语The major construction work与complete之间是被动关系,且由时间状语last week可知,应该用一般过去时的被动语态,由于主语是单数,故填was completed。

2.busiest 考查形容词最高级。one of后接形容词最高级,故填busiest。

3.where 考查非限制性定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为one of the world’s busiest shipping routes,指地点,从句中缺少地点状语,故填where。

4.protection 考查名词。此处需要名词作enjoy的宾语,protect的名词形式是protection,在此处是不可数名词,故填protection。

5.A 考查冠词。此处泛指“一场盛大的仪式”,big是以辅音音素开头的单词,故填A。

6.its 考查代词。此处指代前面的the construction,在句中修饰名词final stage,应用形容词性物主代词,故填its。

8.with 考查介词。此处表示“带有,伴有”,故填介词with。

9.setting 考查非谓语动词。由句子结构可知此处使用非谓语动词。此处指前面所述事情创造了世界记录,表示主动,所以用动词-ing形式作状语,故填setting。

Over time, the farmers improved upon the technology, perfecting the drippers that regulated the flow of water, and connecting the pipelines to computers that could determine exactly how much water each plant needed and when.
