【解析】

本文介紹了發(fā)明家維克多·奧喬亞，他通過觀察小鳥如何利用翅膀飛行，制造出了一架飛機(jī)，他總是努力讓生活變得更加輕松，變得更好。

【1】

句意：創(chuàng)造新東西的人叫做發(fā)明家。

dreamers夢想家；inventors發(fā)明家；players運(yùn)動員；drivers司機(jī)。根據(jù)句中“make something new”可知，創(chuàng)造新東西的人叫做發(fā)明家。故選B。

【2】

句意：他創(chuàng)造了很多東西，其中一個是飛行器。

collected收集；fixed修理；sold出售；made制作，創(chuàng)造。根據(jù)上文中“Victor Ochoa was one of those people.”可知，他是發(fā)明家之一，所以他創(chuàng)造了許多東西。故選D。

【3】

句意：1908年，他在思考鳥類如何利用翅膀飛向天空。

how怎么樣；when什么時候；where哪里；why為什么。根據(jù)句中“thinking about”和下文中“how their wings worked”可知，此處是“他在思考鳥類如何利用翅膀飛向天空”，所以使用疑問詞how。故選A。

【4】

句意：他希望制造一種像鳥一樣飛行的機(jī)器。

stood站著；ate吃；flew飛；sang唱歌。根據(jù)句中“like a bird”可知，此處是“他希望制造一臺機(jī)器，這臺機(jī)器可以像鳥一樣飛行”。故選C。

【5】

句意：很快他采取行動，開始仔細(xì)觀察鳥類，了解它們的翅膀是如何工作的。

look for尋找；look at看，觀察；look after照顧；look up查閱。根據(jù)句中“to learn how their wings worked”可知，此處是“通過仔細(xì)觀察鳥類去了解翅膀是如何工作的”。故選B。

【6】

句意：飛機(jī)的機(jī)身是由兩輛并排的自行車組成的。

bikes自行車；chairs椅子；boxes盒子；sticks棍子。根據(jù)下文中“between the two bikes”可知，此處是“飛機(jī)的機(jī)身是由兩輛并排的自行車組成的”。故選A。

【7】

句意：機(jī)翼與普通飛機(jī)不同。

absent缺席的；free免費(fèi)的；far遠(yuǎn)的；different不同的。根據(jù)下文中“They could even be folded（折疊）down like a bird’s wings.”可知，這種機(jī)翼甚至可以像鳥的翅膀一樣折疊起來，由此可見，這種機(jī)翼與普通飛機(jī)的機(jī)翼是不同的。故選D。

【8】

句意：他的大腦就像一臺永遠(yuǎn)不會熄火的馬達(dá)。

off停止，不工作；over在……上面；up向上；on在……上面。根據(jù)句中motor可知，此處使用off，turn off關(guān)閉，a motor that never turned off一臺永不熄火的馬達(dá)。故選A。

【9】

句意：他沒有讓任何困難阻止他做其他事情。

habits習(xí)慣；difficulties困難；feelings感覺；choices選擇。根據(jù)句中“stop him from making other things”可知，此處是“沒有讓任何困難阻止他做其他事情”。故選B。

【10】

句意：沒有人每次嘗試新事物都會成功。

grateful感激的；colorful多彩的；successful成功的；careful小心的。根據(jù)上文中“However, not all of his ideas worked.”可知，并不是他所有的想法都奏效了，也就是說沒有人每次嘗試新事物都會成功。故選C。
