【解析】這篇文章介紹了空調(diào)的發(fā)展史。

【1】考查定語從句。___1___is kept at room temperature是一個(gè)定語從句，修飾先行The food，關(guān)系詞在從句中作主語，指物，所以填that/which 。

【2】考查副詞。修飾動(dòng)詞reduces，用副詞，填rapidly。

【3】考查名詞。作句子主語，用名詞，填discovery。

【4】考查形容詞。修飾名詞comfort，用形容詞，填personal。

【5】考查語態(tài)。The first electrical air conditioning與invent之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，并且是發(fā)生在過去的事情，所以用一般過去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)，填was invented。

【6】考查固定短語。be known as作為……而出名，是固定短語，所以填as。

【7】考查代詞。表示“他的發(fā)明……”，所以填his。

【9】考查不定式。表示目的“為了滿足更好的生產(chǎn)力的需要”，所以填to meet。

【10】考查冠詞。biggest是最高級(jí)，所以前面用定冠詞the。
