【解析】古希腊宗教在古希腊人的生活层面具有主导作用，因此欲了解古希腊文化必须先了解古希腊宗教。古希腊人的信仰基本上与城邦政治结合在一起，以雅典城而言：他们主尊供奉的就是司掌技艺、智慧雅典娜女神，而著名的奥林匹亚则是供奉古希腊神话中的最高神祇宙斯；德尔斐则是以司掌预言、光明、音乐之神阿波罗为主尊。

【1】考查名词。根据Temples were得知用名词复数形式。故填buildings。

【2】考查形容词。the加形容词最高级，奥林匹克山是希腊最高的山峰，故填highest。

【3】考查关系代词。先行词是宙斯，在定语从句中做主语，故填who。

【4】考查非谓语动词。本句已经有谓语动词went to，统治要用非谓语形式，地下世界和统治是被动关系，故填ruled。

【5】考查关系词。介词后是宾语从句，名词性从句中缺少宾语，用what，故填what。

【6】考查介词。combine…with是固定短语，表示把…结合起来，故填with。

【7】考查名词。根据下文的Athletic games often took place at the festivals得知举办多种节日，故填festivals。

【8】考查动词时态语态。in 776 B. C.提示是过去时态，The first games 做主语用复数动词，与举办是被动关系，故填were held。

【9】考查关系副词。a sacred shrine是先行词，在定语从句中做地点状语，故填where。

【10】考查非谓语动词。表示目的用不定式结构，去请示阿波罗的神谕，故填to consult。

本题难点解读：

1：从句前有被修饰的先行词，或指代一件事情，且从句中缺少作主语、宾语、表语的引导词时，根据上下文考虑使用关系代词。

One of these was Zeus, ____3____was the chief god and father of the gods.此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词是宙斯，指代人，逗号后不能用that，故填who。

2：句中已有谓语动词，动词与所修饰词有被动关系，说明需用非谓语动词的过去分词形式。

Many people traveled to Delphi ___10___(consult) the oracle of Apollo.考查非谓语动词。表示目的用不定式结构，去请示阿波罗的神谕，故填to consult。
