本题考查语法填空,主要涉及以下知识点:

 - 冠词的用法(定冠词
the的特殊用法); - 名词化(动词转化为名词形式);
 - 动名词与不定式的用法;
 - 副词与形容词的辨析;
 - 固定短语(如
at the same time); - 主谓一致与动词时态;
 - 形容词与副词的转换;
 - 特殊疑问词的用法。
 
解题核心思路:结合上下文语境,分析句子结构,确定空格处所需词性及形式。
- 
第一空:
built
分析:adobe dwellings与build之间是被动关系,需用过去分词作定语,表示“被建造的土坯房”。 - 
第二空:
the
分析:most modern是最高级形式,需加定冠词the,表示“最现代的建筑师”。 - 
第三空:
ability
分析:空格前有their修饰,需用名词形式,表示“能力”。 - 
第四空:
using
分析:without是介词,后接动名词作宾语,表示“不用电力设备”。 -

第七空:
at
分析:固定短语at the same time,表示“同时”。 - 
第八空:
goes
分析:主语this cycle是单数,且描述客观规律,用一般现在时,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。 - 
第九空:
natural
分析:修饰名词architects,需用形容词形式,表示“天然的建筑师”。 - 
第十空:
