the age of technological it was Thomas Elva Edison.1.
Not only did he invent and perfect many of the technologies
vital to the modern world—including the electric light,
the motion picture camera and the first sound recordings—
he also sets the standard for how research and development2.
is done today. Edisons mostknown saying goes: “Genius is3.
one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.”
This belief is his religion: he worked day to night4.
for much of his life. At the time he died in 1931,5.
he had patented over 1,100 inventions. Some were entirely
his own, but many were improvements he made6.
to the inventions of others. Edisons career began in New York,
in 1869, when he was 22 years old. He arrived in the city with nothing
but the shirt on his back. It came out that the old family friends7.
he had hoped would help him had move on; consequently,
Edison found himself out on the street. He ended up slept8.
in the cellar of a company that operated an information service
for stockbrokers. In those days, information was been sent9.
from place to place using tickertape, and one day the system
collapsed. In the chaos that followed, Edison offered to fix the problem

【答案及解析】
1.【答案】technological改为technology
【解析】本题考查语法规则。“技术时代”应为“the age of technology”,介词“of”之后不能出现形容词，以此应将形容词“technological”改为名词“technology”。
2.【答案】sets改为set
【解析】本题考查语法规则。此句前半部分是以“not only”开头的倒装句，时态为一般过去时，句子后半部分的时态应与之一致，故不用“set”的三人称单数形式而用过去式“set”。
3.【答案】mostknown改为bestknown
【解析】本题考查固定搭配。“最著名的”或“最为人知的”应为“bestknown”而非“mostknown”。
4.【答案】to改为and
【解析】本题考查固定搭配。“day and night”为固定表达，在句中意为“夜以继日地工作”或“日夜地工作”。
5.【答案】at改为by
【解析】本题考查语法规则及语义理解。下一行出现的“he had patented”为过去完成时，故表示时间时应作“到1931年他去世时”，因此应将表示时间点的介词“at”改为“by”。
6.【答案】made前加had
【解析】本题考查语法规则及语义理解。联系句意可知，句子应使用完成时而非一般过去时，所以应在“made”前加“had”构成过去完成时。
7.【答案】came改为turned
【解析】本题考查固定搭配。词组“turn out”用于表示结果，文中描述爱迪生希望<
