【解析】荷蘭是個經(jīng)常遭到洪水襲擊的國家，荷蘭人在多年對抗洪水的過程中也發(fā)明了很多好的辦法。

【1】考查固定短語。afford to do sth負(fù)擔(dān)得起做某事。

【2】考查詞性的轉(zhuǎn)換。on是介詞，后面要加名詞，故填prevention。

【3】考查名詞數(shù)的變化。circumstance意為“環(huán)境，條件，狀況”，是可數(shù)名詞，根據(jù)前面的these可知，這里應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù)。

【4】考查非謂語動詞。根據(jù)前面的介詞of可知，這里應(yīng)該用動名詞fighting。

【5】考查固定短語中的介詞。be limited to“被局限于……”。

【6】考查詞性的轉(zhuǎn)換�？崭裉幾鞅碚Z，故用形容詞pleasant。

【7】考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。根據(jù)時間狀語now可知，這里應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時，主語one solution 和develop之間是被動關(guān)系，所以用被動語態(tài)。綜合起來可知，用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時的被動語態(tài)。所以填is being developed。

【8】考查副詞。此處用副詞simply修飾動詞sink。

【9】考查定語從句。先行詞是floating neighborhoods，指物，又因?yàn)榍懊嬗薪樵~in,所以只能用which。

【10】考查連詞。這里表示在洪水來襲時，人們暫時住在漂浮的房子里，直到洪水結(jié)束。所以填till/until表示“直到”。
