2. on 考查介词。句意:目前的进展情况给谈判的前途蒙上了阴影。cast a shadow on. 给……蒙上阴影。

4. Luckily 考查副词。句意:幸运的是,我们这些珍贵的唱片从火灾中抢救了出来。此处应用副词修饰后面的整个句子,故填 Luckily。
5. Left 考查过去分词。句意:虽然被单独留在家里,但是珍妮一点都不害怕。设空处作状语,leave与句子的主语 Jenny之间为被动关系,故填过去分词Left。

1. What 考查名词性从句。句意:曾经被认为是不可能的事情现在已经实现了。What had once been considered impossible是主语从句,What在从句中作主语。
2. Following 考查非谓语动词。句意:登月之后,太空旅行迅速成为公众的家常便饭。follow在此处为非谓语,且与句子的主语 space travel之间为主动关系,因此用现在分词形式。
3. Tragically 考查副词。句意:不幸的是,1986年1月28日,挑战者号航天飞机起飞后发生爆炸,机上7名宇航员全部遇难。设空处应用副词作状语,修饰整个句子。

6. flights 考查名词复数。句意:但毫无疑问,载人飞行将继续下去…。设空处应填名词,且空前没有冠词修饰,应用复数形式。
7. successful 考查形容词。设空处后面的 launch是名词,所以此处应该填形容词 successful。
8. has been 考查动词的时态。由 since可以判断,此处用现在完成时
9. loss 考查名词。由设空处前面的定冠词the可以判断此处应该填名词。lose的名词形式是loss。
10. how 考查状语从句。分析句子可知,此处为 no matter how引导的让步状语从句,所以此处填how。
