37、想知道的20件小事中，有一件可能和你牛仔裤上的第五个小口袋有关。分析可知，空处为副词作状语，修饰“has to do with”，probable的副词形式为probably。故填probably。2fifth考查数词。句意同上。根据“the small 2._ (five) pocket”可知，空处应为序数词，表示“第五”， 为fifth。故填fifth。3a/any考查冠词/不定代词。句意：今天，它没有任何作用，但在19世纪晚期确实是有用的。分析可知，句子为否定句，表示“没有任何用途”，可以用冠词a(purpose的发音以辅音音素开头)或不定代词any。故填a或any。4as考查介词。句意
38、：事实上，这个小口袋之所以被称为“手表口袋”，是因为它最初是为了让男人把怀表放在一个安全的地方。表示“目的是作为”为固定短语be intended as。故填as。5watches考查名词。句意同上。分析题意可知，watch在此处为名词，意为“手表”，根据前面的their可知应该用复数。故填watches。6hitting考查非谓语动词。句意：这要追溯到里维斯1879年推出的第一条牛仔裤。分析可知，句子不缺谓语，且和空处无and连接，所以空处为非谓语，hit在此作动词，意为“产品面市并产生影响”，和逻辑主语jeans之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语。故填hitting。7included考
39、查非谓语动词。句意：里维斯的博客还指出，牛仔裤最初只有四个口袋，包括手表口袋。分析可知，句子不缺谓语，且和空处无and连接，所以空处为非谓语，和其逻辑主语“the watch pocket”之间为动宾关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填included。8yourself考查代词。句意：所以，下次当你发现自己漫不经心地把大拇指勾在那个口袋里面的时候，要知道它原来是用来存放怀表的。分析可知，句子的主语和宾语指的是同一个人，所以要用对应的反身代词作宾语。故填yourself。9was used考查被动语态。句意同上。分析可知，空处为句子谓语，且和主语it之间为动宾关系，所以用被动语态，且动作发生在过去，所以用一般过去时，注意主谓一致。故填was used。10why考查宾语从句。句意：既然我们已经知道了牛仔裤的小口袋，那就来看看为什么蓝色是最常见的颜色。分析可知，空处引导宾语从句，作“find out”的宾语，表示原因，所以用why引导。故填why。
