【解析】

试题分析：文章讲述了在南美洲Titicaca湖下一座上千年庙宇的发现和研究过程。

【1】whose 考查关系代词。句中包含定语从句，先行词是ancient people，定语从句是76._______ culture was thought to be highly developed，先行词在定语从句中作定语修饰culture，指他们的文化，故填whose。

【2】taking 考查非谓语动词。句中take的主语和句子的主语scientists一致，是现在分词作定语修饰scientists，故填taking。

【3】a 考查冠词。此处修饰单数名词temple，指一座一千年的庙宇，故填a。

【4】built 考查过去分词。句中a temple和动词build是被动关系，根据by the people也可知，指庙宇被建。此处用过去分词表被动，故填built。

【5】valuable 考查形容词。此处修饰名词materials，指贵重的材料，故填形容词valuable。

【6】unless 考查连词。句意：这周以后这个工程的领导者希望从这个地方把贵重材料运上去，除非坏天气改变他们的计划。根据句意填unless。

【7】carefully 考查副词。此处修饰动词study用副词，指仔细研究材料，故填carefully。

【8】founder 考查名词。此处指项目的创办人，与上文的leader意思一致，故填名词founder。

【9】to 考查固定短语。be similar to“与…相似”是固定短语，故填to。

【10】have made 考查时态。时间状语So far和现在完成时连用，故填have made。
