【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了地铁的最初发展史。

【1】 考查名词，此处表示复数概念，crowd前没有冠词，且它是可数名词，故填crowds。

【2】 考查介词，to and from来回，故填from。

【3】 考查非谓语动词，这里是由and连接的三个动词-ing形式，故填laying。

【4】 考查冠词，top是名词，前要用冠词，故填the.

【5】 考查被动语态，此处表示过去的被动，故填were used。

【6】 考查副词，这里fair是形容词，pleasant也是形容词，所以需要将fair变为副词来修饰形容词，故填fairly。

【7】 考查代词，这里用it指代前句的railway,故填it。

【8】考查动词，此处表示过去的情况，所以这里也应用一般过去时，故填managed。
