【答案】 what；spinning；her；are set；direction；typically；to；where；to gather；tiring 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Cathy Martin 以及她的团队是如何收集数据预测飓风的。
（1）考查宾语从句。句意：每年有六个月的时间，她是一个团队的成员，这个团队收集她所说的“重要数据，以拯救生命和财产”。本句为宾语从句，因为从句中缺少宾语，指代事物，故填what。
（2）考查非谓语动词。句意：当风力增强，向加勒比海和美国海岸线旋转时，马丁和她的飞行团队立即行动起来。spin与逻辑主语wind是主动关系，故填现在分词作状语，故填spinning。
（3）考查代词。修饰名词flight team使用形容词性物主代词，故填her。
（4）考查时态语态。句意：他们使用一种叫做下投式探空仪的仪器，这种仪器从飞机后部的管子中释放出来。主语是dropsondes与谓语动词构成被动关系，结合上下文使用一般现在时，主语为复数名词，故填are set。
（5）考查名词。句意：当探空仪降落在10000英尺的海面上时，它会发出有关空气温度、压力、湿度以及风速和风向的信息。根据上文名词并列结构the speed and可知，应填名词，故填direction。
（6）考查副词。句意：在8小时的飞行中，马丁的团队从风暴的一边飞到另一边时，通常会放下15到20个探空仪，试图覆盖尽可能多的地面。修饰动词drop应用副词，故填typically。
（7）考查介词。from…to…固定短语，“从……到……”，故填to。
（8）考查定语从句。句意：他们前往风暴中心(或风眼)，那里没有风，也寻找最强的风，
帮助沿海地区的人们为即将到来的风暴做好准备。本句为定语从句修饰先行词center，且在定语从句中作地点状语，故填关系副词where。
（9）考查非谓语动词。句意：有时，他们会使用无人驾驶飞机收集更接近海洋表面的数据。本句为不定式to do作目的状语，故填to gather。
（10）考查形容词。句意：虽然这些飞行时间很长，也很累，而且常常会持续好几天，但马丁喜欢她的工作，希望她能每天都飞。根据上文系动词be可知，应填形容词作表语，修饰物，故填tiring。
【点评】本题考点涉及宾语从句，非谓语动词，代词，时态语态，名词，副词，定语从句以及形容词等多个知识点的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。

【答案】 musical；application；led；an；made；successfully；until；that；one；facing 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了竹子在人类历史上所起的重要作用。
（1）考查形容词。空后是名词instruments，应该使用形容词作定语修饰该名词，故填musical。
（2）考查名词。前有定冠词the修饰，且该短语在句中作主语，所以使用名词，填application。
（3）考查时态。本句介绍历史上李冰在四川带领当地人修建都江堰的故事，所以使用一般过去时，句中的谓语动词应该使用过去式，填led。
