参考解析
解析：根据句意，西夫拉克伯爵使公园里的观众都感到高兴，能表示“使……高兴”意思的只有A和D，而D选项overjoy意为“使……过度兴奋，狂喜”，感情色彩过于强烈，这里应填delight“使……喜悦”。
固定搭配。show off意为“炫耀”。此处是说他在公园炫耀他的两轮发明物。因此B项正确。
一开始发明的自行车应该是个儿童玩具的扩大版，increased意为“增加的”, enormous意为“巨大的”, extended意为“延伸的”均不合题意。
最早的自行车是用木头支架做成马的形状，弄懂意思后答案一目了然，resemblance意为“相似，相似物”, appearance意为“外貌，外观”。
此处意为“用脚使劲蹬地"，故选hard。 heavily意为“沉重地，猛烈地”。
四个选项都跟“地”有点关系，surface意为“表面”, ground意为“地面，土地”, earth 意为“泥土，陆地”, floor意为“地板，地面”，比较之后，只有ground比较合适。
appeal to意为“吸引”,attract本身就是及物动词“吸引”，后不需要加介词to,take to 意为“开始喜欢，开始从事”。
hold races在这里是“举行赛跑”的意思，其他选项不合题意。
人们在最后冲刺的时候，受点小伤是很常见的。只有wound和injury有“受伤，伤害”的意思，wound做名词一般指“伤口，受伤的地方”,injury指“小伤”，为正确答案。
此处表示“最后猛一冲刺”，一定是速度很快，除了B选项之外的三个选项都有“速度”之意，velocity意为“速率，速度”，为科学用语，pace意为“步调，步法”,speed意为 “速度”，是常用词，故选D。
此处的意思是“改变方向”，并不是要改变路线，只有A选项符合题意。
想要改变行车方向需要抬起车头在空中掉转，turn round为惯用搭配，意为“旋转，掉转”,roll和revolve本身就有“旋转”的意思，后面不需加round。
这种自行车并没有长时间受到欢迎，与前面形成转折，用however，因此B项正确。
四个选项都有“综合”吗意思，mixture表示“混合，混合物”,link意为“连接，结合”, combination意为“结合，组合，联合”, union意为“联盟，联合”，全句意为“结合了没有弹簧、没有方向舵，以及遭遇不平整路段等问题，木制双轮车骑起来十分不舒服”，只有C 选项的意思放在此处最恰当。
综合全文大意，我们得知法国人发明的木制双轮车便是现代自行车的始祖，A选项符合题意。
