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。
小题1: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。
小题2: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。
小题3: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。
小题4: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。
小题5: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。
小题6: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。
小题7: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。
小题8: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。
小题9: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。
小题10: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。
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。
