1.widely

考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。修飾動詞known應(yīng)用副詞。2.when

考查連詞。引導(dǎo)定語從句并在從句中作時間狀語，先行詞是severalthousandyearsago，故填when。3.varieties

考查名詞單復(fù)數(shù)。因varietiesof是固定搭配，意為“各種各樣的”。4.and

考查連詞。句意：然而，秦始皇統(tǒng)一了七大國家，因此中國的書寫系統(tǒng)開始向一個方向發(fā)展。由句意可知，兩個句子之間是因果關(guān)系；又因下文有So，避免重復(fù)故填and。5.writing

考查非謂語動詞。介詞in后接-ing形式作賓語。6.its

考查代詞。修飾名詞past應(yīng)用形容詞性物主代詞。7.werewritten

考查被動語態(tài)。本句時態(tài)為一般過去時，且先行詞theclassicworks是復(fù)數(shù)，與write是被動關(guān)系，故填werewritten。8.an

考查冠詞。修飾名詞短語artform應(yīng)用不定冠詞，泛指“一種藝術(shù)形式”。又因art讀音以元音開頭，故
