【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于說明文，介紹了竹子在人類歷史上所起的重要作用。

【1】musical 考查形容詞。橫線后面有名詞instruments，說明橫線處應(yīng)該使用形容詞musical作定語修飾該名詞。

【2】application 考查名詞。橫線前面有定冠詞the修飾，且該短語在句中作主語，所以使用名詞application。

【3】led 考查時(shí)態(tài)。本句介紹歷史上李冰在四川帶領(lǐng)當(dāng)?shù)厝诵藿ǘ冀�堰的故事，所以使用一般過去時(shí)，句中的謂語動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該使用過去式led。

【4】an 考查固定搭配。短語play a role in....在……中起作用。形容詞important作為動(dòng)詞修飾role，因?yàn)樵撛~以元音音素開頭，所以使用an。

【5】made 考查固定搭配。短語be made of由……制成；世界上最古老的水管也是由竹子制成的。

【6】successfully 考查副詞。在英語中副詞通常作狀語修飾形容詞、副詞、動(dòng)詞或整個(gè)句子。本句中副詞successfully修飾謂語動(dòng)詞，在句中作狀語。

【7】until 考查連詞。連詞not...until...直到……才……；該連詞短語在句中引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句。竹子直到19世紀(jì)才傳到歐洲。

【8】that 考查強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。強(qiáng)調(diào)句型的基本結(jié)構(gòu)是：It is/was+被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分+that/who+其他成分；本句中強(qiáng)調(diào)句型強(qiáng)調(diào)的是方式狀語by using the technology。

【9】one 考查固定結(jié)構(gòu)。one of + 名詞復(fù)數(shù)表示“……之一”。句意：在中國文化中，竹子作為四君子之一而出名。

【10】facing 考查省略句。本句連詞when的后面省略了people are。句意：竹子文化有助于鼓勵(lì)人們在面對(duì)困難處境時(shí)堅(jiān)持下去。
