【解析】

本文是一篇博客，這里是給所有人發(fā)表見解的地方。今天討論的話題是“你認(rèn)為有史以來最有用的發(fā)明是什么？”本文摘錄了三個人的發(fā)言。

【1】句意：有很多有用的機(jī)器像飛機(jī)、汽車和飛機(jī)，但是這些都不是我的選擇。

choose選擇，動詞；choices選擇，名詞復(fù)數(shù)；thoughts思想；think想法。but后連接的句子系動詞為are，表示是名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式。并結(jié)合句意可知選B。

【2】句意：如果沒有冷空氣。很多人可能會也生病。

with有；in在……里；without沒有；during在……期間。根據(jù)if there are no air conditioners， people here cannot work or study．可知天氣太熱，如果沒有空調(diào)他們不能工作。因此可推測如果沒有冷空氣，他們可能會生病。故選C。

【3】句意：我在墨西哥城擁有一家服裝店。

own擁有；owe欠；design設(shè)計(jì)；build建造。根據(jù)I not only have a website as others， but also own a online store on Taobao．com．可知我擁有一家服裝店。故選A。

【4】句意：它比平常的郵件快。

usually經(jīng)常，副詞；useless沒有用的，形容詞；usual平常的，形容詞；useful有用的，形容詞。此空是形容詞作定語修飾名詞，根據(jù)it's cheaper than using the phone!可知此處是與傳統(tǒng)的方式對比，usual mail表示“平常的郵件”。故選C。

【5】句意：但是，依我看有一個發(fā)明是更重要的，那就是電。

importantly 更重要地，副詞；important重要的，形容詞；efficient有效的，形容詞；efficiently 有效地，副詞。此空為形容詞作表語，構(gòu)成系表結(jié)構(gòu)。結(jié)合句意可知此處表示“更重要的”。故選B。

【6】句意：如果沒有電，世界上更多偉大的發(fā)明都不能工作。

job工作；do做，動詞；use用，名詞；work工作，動詞。此空缺少謂語動詞，排除A。do和use的主語應(yīng)該為人，故排除B和C。work表示“工作；運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)”。故選D。
