【分析】
本题围绕毕昇发明活字印刷术的主题考查语法填空,需结合固定结构、词性转换、时态、非谓语动词等知识点逐一解题:1. 考查形容词最高级的固定结构;2. 考查名词转换;3. 考查反身代词的固定搭配;4. 考查固定句型中的非谓语形式;5. 考查时间状语从句的省略结构;6. 考查不定式作目的状语;7. 考查并列比较级;8. 考查一般过去时;9. 考查副词转换;10. 考查并列副词比较级。
【解析】
1. 固定结构“one of + the + 形容词最高级 + 名词复数”,great的最高级为greatest,故填the greatest;
2. smart是形容词,后需接名词,invent的名词形式为inventor(发明家),故填inventor;
3. 固定搭配by oneself(独自),对应主语he的反身代词为himself,故填himself;
4. 固定句型It takes sb some time to do sth(花费某人时间做某事),故填to write;
5. when引导的时间状语从句,省略主语people和be动词,people与print为主动关系,用现在分词printing,故填printing;
6. 此处表目的,用不定式作目的状语,故填to make;
7. and连接并列比较级,前面为faster,easy的比较级是easier,故填easier;
8. 全文为一般过去时,spread的过去式为spread,故填spread;
9. 修饰动词短语around the world,需用副词,final的副词形式为finally,故填finally;
10. and连接并列副词比较级,对应前面的more quickly,far的比较级为farther,故填farther。
