the考查定冠詞的用法?？崭裰鬄樾稳菰~的最高級形式，故填定冠詞。3. ability考查形容詞與名詞的轉換。形容詞性物主代詞their之后應當用名詞，故將able轉化為其名詞形式。4. using考查介詞的用法。介詞without之后的動詞要用動名詞形式。5. slowly考查副詞的用法。由土坯制成的墻壁在炎熱的白天吸收太陽的熱量并在涼爽的夜間慢慢將熱量釋放出來。修飾謂語動詞give out，因此要用副詞形式。6. to cool考查固定句式的用法?！靶稳菰~enough動詞不定式”為一常用句式。7. at考查固定短語的用法。at the same time意為“同時”，是一個常用介詞短語。8. goes考查動詞的時態(tài)。這是一篇說明文，主要介紹了土坯房冬暖夏涼的原理，故用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)。9. natural考查形容詞的用法。修飾名詞architects，故要用形容詞形式。10. how考查賓語從句的連接詞用法。分析句子結構可知，這是一個賓語從句。根據(jù)形容詞thick及結構可知這里的意思是印第安人要算出土坯墻的確切厚度。所以答案為how。.閱讀理解AIn the fifteenth century Italy had no single ruler.Instead it was
