本文是一篇说明文，介绍了由滑铁卢职业中心运营的建筑培训项目，该项目旨在为学生们在技术领域的职业生涯做好准备，参加该项目的高中生高度肯定了它。

【1】考查时态语态。句意：该项目由滑铁卢职业中心运营。文章基础时态为一般现在时，The project与run之间是被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，run为不规则动词，过去分词为run，故填is run。

【2】考查不定式。句意：该中心为学生提供多种旨在为他们在技术领域的职业生涯做好准备的项目。be designed to do表示“旨在”，故填to prepare。

【3】考查副词。句意：滑铁卢社区学校的学生最近参加了以砖石建筑技术为中心的建筑培训。修饰动词短语took part in用副词，故填recently。

【4】考查介词。句意：学生们在学校里呆了五天，向专业机构爱荷华州砌体学会经验丰富的工人学习。learn from表示“向……学习”，故填from。

【5】考察形容词。句意参考上题解析，修饰名词organization用形容词，故填professional。

【6】考查疑问词+不定式结构。句意：工人们教学生们如何混合砂浆并用砖和木头砌墙。此处为疑问词+不定式结构，how to do表示“如何做某事”。故填how。

【7】考查名词。句意：学生们把砂浆搬到一块块木头上然后加砖加块砌成墙。piece是可数名词，pieces of表示“一块块”，故填pieces。

【8】考查时态。句意：在学生们工作的时候，布希给了他们一条重要的建议。worked表明此处用一般过去时，故填offered。

【9】考查介词。句意：韦斯特高中的内森艾利奥特告诉Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier报说这种学习方式比坐在电脑前要好得多。much better表明此处用than。

【10】考查形容词。句意：其他学生也表示，这让他们对未来的建筑职业感到兴奋。修饰人用ed结尾的形容词，表示“感到……的”，故填excited。
