【解析】本文介绍已经失去的古文明——意大利的Pompeii 和中国的Loulan。

【1】此处felt是连系动词，后面用形容词做后置定语，故答案为lucky。

【2】此处Pompei和found之间是被动关系，根据句意可知用一般过去时态的被动语态，故答案为was founded。

【3】句意：在89 BC被罗马人接管。take over接管，可知答案为over。

【4】根据many people were buried alive很多人被活埋，可知，此事是遗憾地，副词修饰整个句子，故答案为Unfortunately。

【5】句意：人们开始在这个地区挖掘财宝。dig for寻求，故答案为for。

【6】句意：该地区由政府管辖，因此它可以加以保存和研究。此处用it指代前面提到的Pompei。

【7】a few修饰可数名词复数，故答案为ruins。

【8】句意：有一个古老的水系贯穿市中心。ancient以元音开头，所以此空天an。

【9】句意：有一个古老的水系贯穿市中心。此处是现在分词做后置定语，表主动关系，故答案为running。

【10】句意：他们被看到，这导致城市被沙淹埋。前面整个句子做先行词，后面用which引导非限制性定语从句。故答案为which。
