【答案】probably；saw；from；were invented；the；useful；that/which；to imagine；stories；or

【解析】【分析】本文介绍了书的历史。

（1）句意：首先，书写的发明可能在大约5500年前。副词修饰动词came，probable是形容词，probably是副词，故填probably。

（2）句意：他们可以与从未见过的人交流，并与保险公司的几代人分享他们的知识。根据5, 500 years ago可知时态是一般过去时，see的过去式是saw，故填saw。

（3）句意：后来，希腊人因他们的文学和科学而闻名，但是他们的“书”看起来和今天的书大不相同。be different from，固定搭配，与……不同，故填from。

（4）句意：大约2000年前，有很多页的书4被发明。根据2000年前是一般过去时，invent和pages是被动关系，主语是名词复数，故助动词是were，故填 were invented。（5）句意：这种情况在13世纪发生了变化，当时欧洲人了解到一项非常有用的中国发明，纸。根据thirteenth是序数词，其前是定冠词the，故填the。

（6）句意：这种情况在13世纪发生了变化，当时欧洲人了解到一项非常有用的中国发明，纸。invention是名词，其前是形容词，use是动词，useful是形容词，故填 useful。（7）句意：更多的人买得起印刷机上生产的书。定语从句缺少主语，指代先行词

books，故用关系代词that/which指代，故填 that/which。

（8）句意：如今，没有书的世界很难想象。it's+形容词+to so，固定搭配，做某事很……，故填 to imagine。

（9）句意：每年，都有更多的故事以电子书的形式被购买并在屏幕上阅读。此处缺少主语，根据are可知是名词复数，story是名词，故填 stories。

（10）句意：将来会有人翻过传统书籍的书页吗？像卷轴一样的书会很快消失吗？连接疑问句表示并列关系用or，故填or。

【点评】考查语法填空，注意谓语的时态，语态，非谓语动词，词性，连词搭配等多种用法。
