【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是印刷術(shù)的歷史，最早的印刷術(shù)出現(xiàn)在中國，第一本印制的書籍也出現(xiàn)在中國，后來印刷術(shù)被傳播到了世界上的其他國家。

1.句意：據(jù)說木版印刷是在4世紀到7世紀期間的中國被發(fā)明的。century 世紀，應(yīng)與序數(shù)詞連用。由下文By the 11th century可猜測填century。

2.句意：最早的書出版于868年，是在敦煌的山洞里被發(fā)現(xiàn)的。本句中的主語the earliest book 和動詞publish之間是被動的關(guān)系，所以應(yīng)用被動語態(tài)，而句意表示的又是過去，因此填was published。

3.句意：木版印刷需要花費很長時間，因為每一頁書都需要用一個新的木版。page 頁。

4.句意：到11世紀的時候，全中國都有這種木版印刷的書。found 發(fā)現(xiàn)，找到。

5.句意：在1340年，書可以使用兩種顏色來印刷，黑色和紅色。根據(jù)下句中的black and red 可知，這里是說兩種顏色，故填colors。

6.句意：雖然中國人很早就了解了印刷術(shù)，但是在幾百年間，它并沒有傳播到世界上的其他國家。early 早的。由文意可知中國人很早就掌握了印刷的技術(shù)。

7.句意：可能是馬可波羅把這種知識傳到了歐洲。knowledge 知識，在這里指的是印刷術(shù)。

8.句意：但是印制的書籍直到1450年才傳到歐洲。not…until 直到……時候，才……。

9.句意：直到1450年一個叫Johann Gutenberg的德國人發(fā)明了印刷機，印制的書籍才傳到了歐洲。invent 發(fā)明。因為印刷機是1450年被發(fā)明的，故用一般過去時。

10.句意：24年后，1474年，一個叫William Caxton的英國人印制了第一本英語書。the first 第一本。因為下一句提到了His second book was about…他的第二本書，故此處應(yīng)為第一本。

考點：閱讀填空。
