【解析】选词填空题要先了解所给单词或短语的意思和词性，再根据句意写出所选词语的正确形式。

【1】thoroughly

考查副词。句意：这群人彻底搜查了整个山洞，除了一个空的铁皮箱子，什么也没有找到。修饰动词searched用副词，指彻底搜查，故填thoroughly。

【2】of all time

考查固定短语。句意：它一直以来是最大的建筑之一，许多国家的人都来参观它。表示“一直”，故填of all time。

【3】launched

考查动词。句意：哈勃望远镜于1990年4月20日由美国宇航局发射升空，耗资10多亿美元。此处表示“被发射”，用过去分词。故填launched。

【4】entitled

考查过去分词。句意：读了一篇题为《吸烟与健康》的文章后，我点燃了一支香烟，镇定神经。句中article和动词entitle是被动关系，此处是过去分词作定语，故填entitled。

【5】wash away

考查动词短语。句意：大雨不仅会冲走土壤，还会引起严重的洪水。此处表示“冲走”，情态动词would后用动词原形，故填wash away。

【6】reputation

考查名词。句意：这棵树是50年前栽在教堂附近的，但直到最近几年才得到了一个坏名声。前面有an evil修饰，故用名词。故填reputation。

【7】In spite of

考查介词短语。句意：尽管已经说了这么多，游客们还是在树干上摘树叶，把名字刻在上面。表示“尽管”，故填In spite of。

【8】holding up

考查动词短语。句意：一个警察走过来告诉吉米，他应该沿着侧路走，因为庞然大物阻碍了交通。hold up“阻挡”，此处用进行时，故填holding up。

【9】glancing at

考查动词短语。句意：他轻蔑地瞥了一眼，告诉她那件衣服已经卖出去了。根据scornfully可知用glance at，与主语是主动关系，此处作状语用-ing形式，故填glancing at。

【10】stamped out

考查动词短语。句意：然后他想出了一个主意，在雪地上踩出了“SOS”这几个字母。根据句意可知是踩出，与所给时态一致，故填过去式stamped out。
