   In 1863 the first underground passenger railway in the world opened in London. It ran for just under seven kilometers and allowed people to avoid terrible  33 (crowd) on the roads above as they travelled to and  34  work. It took three years to complete and was built using an interesting method. This included digging up the road,  35 (lay) the track and then building a strong roof over  36  top. When all those had been done, the road surface was replaced. 
Steam engines  37 (use) to pull the carriages and it must have been  38 (fair) unpleasant for the passengers, with all the smoke and noise. However, the railway quickly proved to be a great success and within six months, more than 25,000 people were using  39  every day. 
Later, engineers  40 (manage) to construct railways in a system of deep tunnels(隧道), which became known as the Tube. This development was only possible with the  41 (introduce) of electric-powered engines and lifts.

[语篇解读] 本文为记叙文,讲述了世界上第一条地铁——伦敦地铁的起源和铁路最初的发展历程。
33.crowds 本题考查名词。avoid“避免”后可跟名词或动名词作宾语。因为此空前有形容词terrible修饰,故排除动名词形式;crowd作“人群”解时,为可数名词,故需用复数形式。
34.from 本题考查介词。由语境可知此处指“上下班(to and from work)”。
35.laying 本题考查动名词作宾语。由上文中的included digging 和下文的and then building可知,此处为并列的动名词作included的宾语。
36.the 本题考查冠词。此处表特指,故需用定冠词修饰名词。
37.were used 本题考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。主语Steam engines和use之间为被动关系,且由上文语境和下文的must have been可知叙述的是过去发生的事,故需用一般过去时的被动语态;又因主语是名词的复数形式,故be动词需用were。
38.fairly 本题考查副词。修饰形容词unpleasant需用副词形式,故填fairly。
39.it 本题考查代词。此处指代上文中提到的the railway,需用代词it。
40.managed 本题考查动词的时态。此处叙述的是过去的事情,需用一般过去时,故答案为动词的过去式。
41.introduction 本题考查名词。由空前的定冠词可知,此处需用名词形式,动词introduce去“e”加后缀-tion构成名词形式。
42.successful 本题考查形容词。由“伦敦中心地铁是这些新铁路线中最成功的线路之一”可知句子的主干为主系表结构,此处为形容词作表语,the most暗示了答案。
