小题10. a→the

【解析】

本文是记叙文，作者讲述了昨晚居住的城市里办公大楼发生了一场火灾，所幸那时无人办公。

小题1. 考查数词。表示五楼用序数词，the fifth floor，故five 改成fifth。

小题2. 考查动词时态。本文回忆昨晚发生火灾的情景，用一般过去时，故 hear改成heard。

小题3. 考查主语从句。据说it is/ was said that，该句型是固定句型，故what改成that。

小题4. 考查连词。这里讲述的是火势一层一层的蔓延，并且最后烧到了楼顶，前后是并列关系，故but改成and。

小题5. 考查名词。根据后面的were得知是很多面墙，故wall改成walls。

小题6. 考查介词。because后面接句子，而because of后面接名词，代词，动名词。the heat是名词，故because后加of。

小题7. 考查现在分词。句意：许多人站在外面的街道上，惊恐地看着大火。“站着”是谓语动词，和“观看”之间没有连词，“观看”要用非谓语动词，“人”和“观看”之间是主动关系，用现在分词作伴随状语，故watch改成watching。

小题8. 考查形容词。文中表示“勇敢的消防员们”，用形容词修饰名词，故 bravely改成brave。

小题9. 考查动词语态。break out爆发，该短语没有被动，故去掉was。

小题10. 考查冠词。第一句出现过火灾，这是第二次出现，用定冠词表示前文已经提到过的事情，故a改成the。
