【解析】考查词汇和语法运用能力。

【1】本题考查形容词性物主代词。wind one's way，意为“曲折蜿蜒”，故这里用its。

【2】句意：它自西向东，穿过沙漠，越过山脉，通过山谷曲折蜿蜒，（直到）最后到达海洋。根据句意可知上下句是并列关系，故用till/until/and。

【3】句意：它的第一部分在春秋时期建造。根据语意可知长城是被建造的，春秋时期是过去，用一般过去时的被动语态，故这里用was built。

【4】本题考查不定式作状语。句意：在秦朝，为了阻止敌人入侵，秦始皇命人把所有城墙连接起来。这里用不定式做目的状语，故to keep。

【5】本题考查固定用法have something done使…被做（别人做），这里秦始皇命别人把所有的城墙连接，符合语境，故joined。

【6】本题考查冠词。at the top在…顶部，这里用定冠词指在长城的上面。句意：长城的顶部足够宽可供5只马或者10个人并排走。故这里用the。

【7】本题考查定语从句关系词。句意：一路上都是眺望塔，士兵们过去站岗的地方。这里构造非限制性定语从句，用where在定语从句中作地点状语。故where。

【8】句意：当敌人来时，塔上会点火作为警报。这里需要用名词，waming警告,， 警报，预兆。

【9】句意：在古代，没有任何现代化的机器，建造这样的城墙是非常困难的。这里用副词extremely修饰形容词difficult，故这里填extremely。

【10】句意：所有工作都是手工完成。by hand手工，用手的，亲自的。故这里用by。
