2. B.
   discovered
3. C.
   invented
4. D.
   found out

Answer 1

B
分析：invent(發(fā)明)指世界上還沒有的東西被做出來了，如：invent the telephone；discover(發(fā)現(xiàn))是指比別人“先發(fā)現(xiàn)”，如：It was Columbus who discovered America．；find out(發(fā)現(xiàn))是指“弄清楚”“搞明白”一件事情的真相，因此這種“發(fā)現(xiàn)”是指經(jīng)過了研究或努力才得到的，常常跟賓語從句，如：In the end the people found out that their president had told a lie．；find(發(fā)現(xiàn))指不經(jīng)意間的發(fā)現(xiàn)，就是指并沒有去努力，而偶然的發(fā)現(xiàn)，如：When I went to school yesterday morning，I found a wallet lying on the ground．(延伸)find(找到)和look for(尋找)相對應(yīng)，look for是指“尋找”的過程，而find是指“尋找”的結(jié)果，如：What were you doing iust now？I was looking for my pen．Have you found it？Yes，I have found it．(延伸)find作“感到”解時(shí)，意思和think或feel作“覺得”的意思差不多，如：I found this story
very interesting．＝I found that this story was very interesting．／Some people find it difficult to learn a foreign language．＝Some people find that it is difficult to learn a foreign language．
