答案

【分析】本文主要向我们介绍了人们骑自行车的不同目的，最初的自行车主要是为了运动和娱乐，后来发展为骑自行车去上班，购物等去工作．然而一位职业自行车运动员Lance Armstrong改变了自行车的历史，文章作了具体介绍．

1 earliest 考查最高级：根据前文Did you know that the first bicycle were for sport and pleasure？你知道第一辆自行车是为了运动和娱乐吗？及后文bikes were toys for the rich给富人充当玩具，故用earliest最早的，与the first对应
2 reasons 考查名词：根据前文Some of the（31）earliest bikes were toys for the rich给富人充当玩具，及后文to work or to the store．Some people，such as bicycle postmen，even use bikes to do their job即不同的原因，结合所给词，故用reasons
3 ride 考查动词：根据前文Children ride bikes for fun孩子们骑自行车为了娱乐，后文to work or to the store，推测意思是父母骑自行车去上班或购物，故用ride
4 popular 考查形容词：根据后文They appear on television．They are front-page news in newspaper它们出现在电视上，它们是报纸的头版新闻，意思是自行车运动员使自行车这项运动很流行，故用popular
5 training 考查动词：根据后文competing in national and international cycling events在国家和国际自行车赛事中竞争，推测前提是要花时间训练，故用training
6 magazines 考查名词：根据前文They appear on television．They are front-page news in newspaper它们出现在电视上，它们是报纸的头版新闻，又根据后文in sports，故用magazines与前文电视，报纸对应．
7 who 考查定语从句：分析句子，But there is one professional cyclists是句子的主干，后文（37）changed cycling history是一个定语从句来修饰先行词cyclists．这是一个表示人的名词，在定语从句中作主语，故用关系词who
8 ever 考查副词：根据前文He won the Tour de France six times．又根据No one has（38）won this race so many times，推测意思是没有人曾经赢得这个比赛，故用副词ever
9 had 考查情态动词：根据后文to overcome cancer去克服癌症，前文说He won the Tour de France six times，那么他必须要去克服癌症，空格后有to，故用had to表示必须
10 in 考查介词：根据前文Mr．Armstrong made the greatest comeback即他取得了很大的成功，后文cycling history，故用介词in，表示在自行车历史上Armstrong取得了很大的成功

【点评】解答此类试题时，务必要根据语境或上下文的逻辑关系推测所给单词的适当形式．
