【解析】

1.[解析]　结合语境考查连词。注意前面的关键词taller，再由下文内容可知本文主要涉及建塔高度超标的问题。

[答案]　than

2.2】[解析]　结合语境考查固定搭配。on display “在展览中”。此处意为“在浙江省的省会杭州展出了该塔的最新蓝图”。

[答案]　on

3.3】[解析]　结合语境考查不定冠词的用法。此处a用来表示“一个”。考生应注意名词前设空，答案应首选冠词之类的限定词。

[答案]　a

4.4】[解析]　结合语境考查非谓语动词作定语。由谓语动词replaces可知，此处应用propose的分词作定语；building与propose之间为动宾关系，所以用过去分词作定语。

[答案]　proposed

5.5】[解析]　结合语境考查which引导非限制性定语从句。which指代前面的the West Lake scenic spot，在后面的定语从句中充当主语。

[答案]　which

6.6】[解析]　结合语境考查非谓语动词作宾语。decline后需要接不定式作宾语，意思为“委婉拒绝做某事”。句意：昨天开发商Kerry Property拒绝评论。

[答案]　to comment

7.7】[解析]　结合语境考查人称代词。从设空的特点可以看出此处宾语从句中缺少主语，因此答案首选人称代词；由上文中的“Staff from Hangzhou’s municipal urban planning bureau”可得出此处应用they指代表示整体概念的staff“全体职工”。

[答案]　they

8.8】[解析]　考查词性转换。从前面的修饰语any可知，此处需要一个名词形式，apply为动词，根据语境可知，此处应用其名词形式application。

[答案]　application

9.9】[解析]　结合语境考查介词。take...into consideration”把……考虑在内”。此处意为：开发商应该把整个地区的利益考虑在内。

[答案]　into

10.0】[解析]　结合语境考查动词的时态和语态。主句为一般过去时，且stories与动词need之间为动宾关系。此处意为”开发商说要想获得更大的利润需要多建几层塔”。

[答案]　were needed
