【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了澳门的过去，并介绍澳门是个不错的娱乐休闲去处。

【1】考查非谓语动词。句意：它是中国的一部分，大多数住在那里的人都是中国人。分析句式可知，设空处是做句子的状语，用所给词的非谓语形式。逻辑主语most people与live之间是主动关系，用现在分词。故填living。

【2】考查名词。句意：第一批来到澳门的欧洲人来自葡萄牙。第一批来的人很多，用名词的复数形式。故填Europeans。

【3】考查时态。根据时间状语More than four hundred years ago可知，用一般过去式。故填went。

【4】考查时态和语态。句意：建造了坚固的堡垒来保卫城市和港口。根据上文语境可知，用一般过去式，主语forts与build之间是被动关系，因此用过去式的被动语态be用were。故填were built。

【5】考查副词。设空处所给词是修饰动词grew，副词修饰动词。故填gradually。

【6】考查连词。句意：有些人去那里只是为了看赛狗或赛车，或者甚至用他们的钱赌博。分析句式，他们之间是并列关系，or连接两个并列结构，表“或者”的意思，结合句意。故填or。

【7】考查形容词。根据空后的名词place可知，此处用形容词修饰名词作定语。故填peaceful。

【8】考查介词。句意：当你又热又累的时候，有小而凉爽的花园供你休息。根据句意可知，是在花园里休息，in the garden“在花园”，此处需借助于介词in。故填in。

【9】考查形容词。分析句式可知，设空处是做be动词的表语，因此，用名词hunger的形容词hungry做表语。故填hungry。

【10】考查定语从句。这是个非限制性定语从句，先行词是some islands，指物，从句中缺少主语，用which引导。故填which。

时态是常考考点，除了要求考生掌握各个时态的基本用法之外，考生需具有在具体语境中辨别能力。时态的判定往往根据句中所给的直接或间接的时间状语来判定，但要注意的是不能完全依赖于所给出的时间状语，还要看语境。本题的第3小题有个很明显的时间状语More than four hundred years ago，因此应用一般过去式。
