第1空的答案是written。
文章开头第一句就设空，若学生不首先通读短文，了解文章的大意，就感觉很是棘手。
但是若学生先通读全文，了解短文的大意，细节不理解可以跳过，就会容易很多。
另外，再仔细分析此句，主语是millions of words ，而谓语动词的时态是现在完成时的被动语态。
若仔细分析还是不难得到答案的。
第2空的答案是interest。
此处失分的学生不少，此空有难度，究其原因：第一，此空和第一空是紧密相关的，前一题做不对很可能会直接导致此空很难做对;反之, 若第一题做对了，这一题也容易。
第二，此题没有have或show这两个动词，若有的话，学生很容易就联想到了词组have/show great interest in sth..所以此题只能结合上下文的意思来推测。
