【解析】

本文是一則關于討論指南針發(fā)明的對話。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。結合原文信息，依據文中： the ancient Chinese古代中國人。完整表達為：Do you know who the compass was invented by?你知道指南針是誰發(fā)明的嗎? 空格前面是by，被動語態(tài)中by后面加實施動作的人，結合句意，填the ancient Chinese 是由古代中國人發(fā)明的。 Of course.當然。It was invented by the ancient Chinese，right?是古代中國人發(fā)明的，對吧?根據語境及上下文分析，正確答案為： the ancient Chinese。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。結合原文信息，依據文中：Exactly.完全正確。And you know when it was first invented?你知道它是什么時候發(fā)明的嗎?written records of......的文字記載。完整表達為：No.

不。But I know there were written records of South-pointing Fish in the Song Dynasty.但我知道在宋代有關于指南魚的文字記載。根據語境及上下文分析，正確答案為：records。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。結合原文信息，依據常識及后文：show directions指示方向。完整表達為：That’s true.這是真的。People in the 10th century began to use an instrument called South-pointing Fish to show directions.10世紀時，人們開始使用一種叫“指南魚”的儀器來指示方向。根據語境及上下文分析，正確答案為：directions。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。put into 放入。結合原文信息，依據文中：How did it work?它是如何工作的?完整表達為：When it is put into the water, the floating fish has its head pointing to the south.當它被放入水中，漂浮的魚的頭指向南方。本句中it與put into有邏輯上的被動關系，故用被動語態(tài)，而put into的被動形式為be put into。根據語境及上下文分析，正確答案為： put into。

【5】細節(jié)理解題。go back 回到，追溯到.....結合原文信息，依據文中：It wasn’t the first recorded compass, wasn’t it?這不是第一個有記錄的指南針，不是嗎? No, of course not.是的，當然不是。“Sinan” appeared much earlier, in the Warring States Period(戰(zhàn)國).“Sinan”出現得更早,在戰(zhàn)國時期。So the history of compass goes back to over 2000 years ago所以指南針的歷史可以追溯到2000多年前。完整表達為：So the history of compass goes back to over 2000 years ago.所以指南針的歷史可以追溯到2000多年前。根據語境及上下文分析，正確答案為：goes back。
