解析
一个电力工程师花了两年半的时间从事的项目，在没有商店的村子安装自动售货机，想给没有商店的村子提供一个解决的方法。
小题1:一个电力工程师花了两年半的时间从事这个项目。这里考查冠词，泛指“一个电力工程师，用不定冠词，electrical是元音开头的单词，所以用an。
小题2:这个机器配备有安全摄像机和警报。考查词组“配备有…”be equipped with ,因为主语是单数，所以用 is equipped
小题3:这句话用了非限制性定语从句，先行词是invention，定语从句中缺少主语用which引导定语从句
小题4:根据上文的句子：可知没有生产商愿意将他的想法生产出来，所以他就自己做了。考查词组by oneself“独自”，填myself
小题5:我想用“自动商店”这个名字更合适。Far后面接形容词的比较级：more appropriate
小题6:近几年，来自超市连锁店的压力已经迫使乡村商店关门，实际上recent years，和现在完成时连用，因为主语是pressure所以谓语是单数：has forced
小题7:估计有400家乡村商店关闭了，强烈要求政府提供经济支持给这些濒临倒闭的商店或是建立新的社区商店。这里用现在分词做状语：urging
小题8:Fox先生希望这个新的发明给没有商店的村子提供一个解决的方法。使用词组offer sth to sb.所以填to
考点
据考高分专家说，试题“The giant vending ma.....”主要考查你对 [序数词 ]考点的理解。序数词
序数词的概念：
表示顺序的数称为序数词。如：first, second, third, fourth。
序数词的构成与用法：
1、序数词的构成：
①一般来说，是由相应的基数词加词尾th构成。
例：four＋th→fourth
six＋th→sixth
seven＋th→seventh
ten＋th→tenth
②下面这些基数词在变为序数词时，有特殊的变化。
例：one→first
two→second
three→third
five→fifth
eight→eighth
nine→ninth
twelve→twelfth
③十位整数序数词的构成方法是将基数词的词y变成i，然后再加eth。
例：twenty→twentieth
thirty→thirtieth
forty→fortieth
ninety→ninetieth
④两位或两位以上的基数词变成序数词时，仅将个位数变成序数词。
例：twenty－one→twenty－first
thirty－five→thirty－fifth
a hundred and fifty－three→a hundred and fifty－third
2、序数词的用法：
①序数词在使用时，一般加上定冠词。
例：the first book
the second floor
the third day
the fourth week．
②序数词在多数情况下都用作定语，有的也可以作表语、主语和宾语。
例：The may1st is Labour Day. 五月一日是劳动节。
My room is on the second floor. 我的房间在二楼。
The first is larger than the secon.（主语）第一个比第二个大。
Read the book from the first.（宾语）从开头读这本书。
You'll be the sixth to write.（表语）你将是第六个写的。
③序数词的前面可以加上不定冠词，用来表示“再一”，“又一”的意思。
例：You may have a third try. 你可以第三次尝试。

用tens/dozens/scores/hundreds/thousands/millions of 表示“几十、几百、上千、成千上万”等。
如：The boy bought dozens of pencils.
Thousands of people died in the earthquake.
注意： (A)：dozen, score, hundred, thousand, million等表示确切数量时，不用复数。
如：five dozen (of) eggs 五打鸡蛋
hree hundred people 三百个人
分数词的构成和用法：
1）分数词构成法：
分数词（FractionalNumerals）由基数词和序数词构成，基数词代表分子，序数词代表分母。除了分子为1的情况下，序数词都要用复数形式：
如：1/4：one-fourth
5/9：five-ninths
2/3：two-thirds
17/5：three and two-fifths
7/12：seven-twelfths
379/8：forty-seven and three-eighths
