【解析】

【文章大意】文章主要讲述了秦始皇陵兵马俑的发现过程，以及这些兵马俑的个性特征。

【1】 考查冠词。句意：1974年，中国做出了一个惊人的发现——出土了秦始皇和他伟大的军队。discovery＂发现＂是可数名词，此处表示泛指，amazing以元音音素开头。故填an。

【2】 考查非谓语动词。＂_______(make) of terra cotta(赤土陶)＂作定语修饰army，make与被修饰词army之间是被动关系，用过去分词表示被动。故填made。

【3】 考查定语从句。＂________Emperor Qin is believed to be buried＂是定语从句，修饰the tomb，关系词在从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where。故填where。

【4】 考查动词。句意：正在田地里挖井的农民们撞到了一个兵马俑的头。讲述过去发生的事情用一般过去时，strike的过去式是struck。故填struck。

【5】 考查副词。quickly是副词作状语修饰动词spread。故填quickly。

【6】 考查名词。句意：付出许多努力之后，考古学家了解到在地下有大约8000兵马俑。effort＂努力＂由many修饰是可数名词，用复数。故填efforts。

【7】 考查名词。句意：这些士兵大约六英尺高，每一个看起来都有各自的个性特征。personality＂个性＂作宾语，用名词形式，此处表示单数。故填personality。

【8】 考查动词。句意：每一个士兵胡须和发型都有细微的差别。此处讲述现在存在的事情，用一般现在时，each作主语，是第三人称单数，谓语动词也用第三人称单数。故填has。

【9】 考查介词。句意：遗址上建立的三个博物馆，来自不同国家的游客可以在那里观看这个特别的军队。come from＂来自＂。故填from。

【10】 考查动词。此处讲述将来要发生的事情，用一般将来时，＂be+不定式＂表示将来时，uncover作谓语动词，that指代上文提到的discoveries，与uncover之间是被动关系，用被动语态。故填to be uncovered。
