　　答案解析：

　　1. E 空格處需填一形容詞，即從E、J、L、M中選擇。過(guò)去分詞一般用于主語(yǔ)是人的句子，排除J;結(jié)合常理，忘性大常常令人懊惱，故E最符合文章。

　　2. I 根據(jù)定語(yǔ)從句謂語(yǔ)see可知，主語(yǔ)要么是人要么是眼鏡，由下句the use的提示，故選I。

　　3. A 該空需填入一個(gè)動(dòng)詞，即從備選項(xiàng)A、H中選擇，有allow sb. to do sth.的結(jié)構(gòu)，且語(yǔ)義符合文意，故選A。

　　4. F 由上文的label items可推知F最符合文意。

　　5. C 該空需填入一個(gè)形容詞，由下文的fill in可推知C(空白的)最符合文意。

　　6. D 由該句中的相關(guān)信息詞mechanics(機(jī)械師)和identify machine parts可推知D最符合文意。

　　7. J 該空需填入一個(gè)形容詞修飾名詞device(設(shè)備)，由常識(shí)可知工廠里的設(shè)備通常都很復(fù)雜，正因?yàn)閺?fù)雜，不容易記住，才有必要使用這種新型眼鏡，故J最符合文意。

　　8. B 該句主句的基本句子結(jié)構(gòu)是A car mechanic could find where a part is，介詞for和應(yīng)填的詞在句中作插入萬(wàn)分，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，B最符合文意。

　　9. H 該空應(yīng)填入動(dòng)詞原形，從詞義上能排出A，H符合文意。

　　10. G 分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，該空應(yīng)填入一個(gè)非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，結(jié)合句意"在其他情況下，人們可以戴著這種眼鏡隨團(tuán)旅游，______名勝景點(diǎn)……"可知，G(指示)最符合文意。
