【解析】本文介绍了意大利的庞培古城的历史和现状。

【1】考查代词。庞培因为它的体育场、剧场、商店和饭馆而出名。表示“它的……”，所以填its。

【2】考查时态。由Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. 可判断出是发生在过去的事情，所以用一般过去时，填lay。

【3】考查名词单复数。维苏威火山几个世纪都没有喷发。“几个世纪”是复数意义，用名词复数，所以填centuries。

【4】考查固定短语。be in safety安全, 是固定短语，所以填safety。

【5】考查连词。The entire top of the mountain exploded和a huge black cloud rose into the air. 这两个句子是并列关系，所以填and。

【6】考查语态。Pompeii与bury之间是被动关系，用被动语态，且表示发生在过去的事情，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，填was buried。

【7】考查非谓语动词。scientist 与name之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语，填named。

【8】考查副词。and连接并列结构，carefully是副词，所以这里也需要用一个副词，填Slowly。

【9】考查介词。那里有一个拥有20,000座位的体育场。所以填with。

【10】考查定语从句。___10___ tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. 是一个非限制性定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，指代整个主句内容，所以填which。
