The Eiffel Tower is one of European most famous buildings. It   1   in a park near the River Seine in Paris. It is 300 meters tall. It was designed and    2   by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel many years ago for Paris Universal Exposition.

“Universal” here means “ of the whole world”, and “exposition” is a place where new    3   , new kinds of art and new kinds of the food are displayed.

Eiffel hoped that people could go to the top of the tower    4   , so he asked Elisha Otis to design an elevator. Unfortunately, the   5    government did not like the first design    6    Otis showed them, and they would not let him put the elevator in. In early 1889, the first visitor had to climb hundreds of stairs   7   to the top.

It’s interesting that Eiffel    8   lived in the tower where he had his own apartment. Although Eiffel designed the tower for people to visit, it was also for   9   use. Now, the tower gets much more    10   than another famous building-the Louvre(卢浮宫).

【解析】

试题分析：本题主要描述了埃菲尔铁塔的设计建造过程及后来的社会影响。

 it指的是埃菲尔铁塔，结合语境可知挺立在赛纳河畔，描述客观性动作用一般现在时态，主语it是单数第三人称，故谓语动词用单数，填stands，挺立。

 结合语境可知句意为：它是由居斯塔夫埃菲尔建造的，故填build的被动语态built，建造。

 联系下文new kinds of art and new kinds可知指的是新的事物，故填复数名词inventions，发明。

 结合语境可知他希望人们能够容易的登上铁搭顶部，故填easy的副词形式easily，容易地。

 埃菲尔铁搭在法国，故此处指的是法国政府，故填France的形容词形式French，法国的。

 考察定语从句。先行词the first design为下文逻辑宾语，故引导词用which，指物。

 结合语境可知是到达顶部，故填不定式to get，不定式表示具体的动作。

 结合语境可知此处指的是埃菲尔自己，故填he的反身代词形式himself，她自己。

 联系上文用来做展览的用途，可知也用作科学用途。故填science的形容词形式scientific，科学的。

 结合语境可知这个铁塔得到了更多的参观者，故填复数名词visitors，参观者。

考点：短文中词汇短语的运用能力

点评：选词填空一直是英语考试中的难点，得分率比较低。解答此类题型的方法一般就是根据文章前后句子之间意思推断出词义，结合所给单词判断出所缺单词，然后根据该单词在句子中的句子成分，所起作用，进行适当词形变化。
