Answer 1

1.I found the naughty boy __hiding___ behind the door to frighten his sister.
A.hide B.to hide C.hiding D.hidden
翻译：我发现那个调皮的男孩儿藏在门后面，想吓他的姐姐。
解释：find sb doing sth发现某人正在做某事。例句Often he found her quietly weeping alone.
find还可以这么用：
1 find sb/sth+a.（状态）如find him gone/asleep
2 find (that)+从句如I was disappointed to find that they had left already.

2.Mrs.Taylor has _an_8-year-old daughter who has __a_ gift for painting--she has won 2 national prizes.(a/an/the?)
翻译：泰勒女士有个八岁大的女儿。这个女孩儿在绘画方面有天赋，并且已经赢得了两项国家级奖项。
解释：第一个空不用多说，第一次出现的人/事用不定冠词"a/an"。这里八岁"eight"第一个音节是元音，所以要用"an"。
第二个空是固定搭配：sb have a gift for sth——记住它，固定用法。
如have a gift for poetry/have a marvelous gift for science

3.He has a great interest in history,especially in ___of Tang Dynasty.(a/an/the?)
这题目有问题。填that句子其实可以说得通。
如果是像楼上说的漏了个history，那我同意填the~即in the history of the Tang Dynasty。特指“唐朝”的历史嘛~
PS：朝代前面也是要加定冠词the的。in the Tang/Song/Qing Dynasty。

4.People regard the wheel as __an_ invention of the first important in ___human history.(a/an/the?)
好吧。。我依然觉得题目读起来不顺。。
翻译：人们将车轮视作人类历史上首个重要的发明。
解释：
第一个空，依然是首次出现用不定冠词a/an~而invention又是个元音起首的单词~（你看看，其实考来考去就是这些东西，做题的时候要细心就行了）
第二个空我又考证了下，坚定地认为不填。像history，还有society，前面一般不加定冠词。in (human) history/society
如a turning point in human history（这是牛津高阶上的例子）/a most heroic event in human history/It marks the beginning of a new era in human history.
确实有情况是加the的，如the early human intellectual history/the human development history——但这些都是有特指的，才加定冠词。普通的人类历史不要加。不信你google一下看看哪个多~

希望对你有帮助~采纳吧采纳吧哈哈

Answer 2

C强调躲藏这一状态 用动名词形式
an a 8的首字母发音是元音 a gift for 对 有天分
the 后面应该还有个名词history吧 表特指唐朝那段历史
an the invention 的首字母发音是元音 特指人类历史
