【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是印刷術的歷史，最早的印刷術出現在中國，第一本印制的書籍也出現在中國，后來印刷術被傳播到了世界上的其他國家。

1.句意：據說木版印刷是在4世紀到7世紀期間的中國被發明的。century 世紀，應與序數詞連用。由下文By the 11th century可猜測填century。

2.句意：最早的書出版于868年，是在敦煌的山洞里被發現的。本句中的主語the earliest book 和動詞publish之間是被動的關系，所以應用被動語態，而句意表示的又是過去，因此填was published。

3.句意：木版印刷需要花費很長時間，因為每一頁書都需要用一個新的木版。page 頁。

4.句意：到11世紀的時候，全中國都有這種木版印刷的書。found 發現，找到。

5.句意：在1340年，書可以使用兩種顏色來印刷，黑色和紅色。根據下句中的black and red 可知，這里是說兩種顏色，故填colors。

6.句意：雖然中國人很早就了解了印刷術，但是在幾百年間，它并沒有傳播到世界上的其他國家。early 早的。由文意可知中國人很早就掌握了印刷的技術。

7.句意：可能是馬可波羅把這種知識傳到了歐洲。knowledge 知識，在這里指的是印刷術。

8.句意：但是印制的書籍直到1450年才傳到歐洲。not…until 直到……時候，才……。

9.句意：直到1450年一個叫Johann Gutenberg的德國人發明了印刷機，印制的書籍才傳到了歐洲。invent 發明。因為印刷機是1450年被發明的，故用一般過去時。

10.句意：24年后，1474年，一個叫William Caxton的英國人印制了第一本英語書。the first 第一本。因為下一句提到了His second book was about…他的第二本書，故此處應為第一本。

考點：閱讀填空。
