1.解析:考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据该句中的“was”和句意可知,该空用一般过去时;空前的“it”指代“A material”,和动词create之间为动宾关系,且是第三人称单数,故填was created。
答案:was created
2.解析:考查介词。该句意为:对于瓷器就是这样的例子。with“关于,对于”符合语境,故用with。
答案:with
3.解析:考查词性转换。根据空后的名词“material”可知,空处要用形容词traditional修饰该名词。
答案:traditional
4.解析:考查名词的单复数。hand为可数名词,根据该句中的“of four Chinese artists”可知,该处应用其复数形式。
答案:hands

答案:is

答案:the
10.解析:考查代词。根据该句主语“All the four artists”可知,此处表示“以他们自己的方式”,故填their。
