【解析】

【文章大意】山西平遥古城与四川阆中古城、云南丽江古城、安徽徽州古城是中国保存最为完好的四大古城。本文简要介绍了平遥古城的基本情况。

【1】考查时态和语态。平遥古城建于西周。根据语境可知，build这一动作发生在过去，故应用一般过去时；build与It(指代Pingyao)是动宾关系，应用被动语态，故填was built。

【2】 考查副词。幸运的是，平遥古城摆脱了摧毁其他中国古城的商业化。此处应用副词作状语修饰整个句子。

【3】 考查形容词。人们不可能不了解其历史。此处应用possible＂可能的＂在句中作表语。It is possible to do sth.＂可能做某事＂。

【4】 考查代词。原因是平遥古城的历史似乎通过每一米城墙、每一个城墙上的气孔彰显了它自己(的存在感)。根据语境可知，reveal的宾语就是＂平遥古城的历史＂，故用反身代词itself。

【5】 考查非谓语动词。city wall与design为逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用过去分词作后置定语，表示＂被设计用来保卫这座城市的城墙＂。

【6】 考查冠词。此处泛指＂一个完整的政府机构＂，应使用不定冠词a。

【7】 考查非谓语动词。在这个覆盖了26 000多平方米的建筑群里保存完好的物件展示了官员们过去是怎样生活和工作的。the complex与cover之间为逻辑上的主动关系，故应用现在分词。

【8】 考查宾语从句。how在此处引导宾语从句，在句中作方式状语，表示＂如何，怎样＂。

【9】 考查固定句型。此处是一个固定句型，A is to B what C is to D＂A对于B就像C对于D一样＂，此处表示在清朝，平遥古城对于北方的中国而言就像现今华尔街对于美国一样，故用to。

【10】 考查名词复数。merchant＂商人＂为可数名词，且前面无限定词修饰，故应用其复数形式。
