【解析】

【1】

考查副词。句意：最初，我们原计划去苏格兰旅游，但最后没有去。此处是副词作状语，修饰整个句子，此处用副词Originally（最初地），首字母大写。故填Originally。

【2】

考查形容词。句意：画中的时钟象征着时间的流逝。名词representation要形容词修饰，此处用形容词symbolic（象征性的）作定语。故填symbolic。

【3】

考查过去分词。句意：圣安德鲁学院坐落在阿尔马诺尔湖畔，四周尽是自然美景。本句已有谓语is surrounded by且无连词，此处用非谓语形式，主语St. Andrew's Academy和动词locate（坐落）是逻辑上的被动关系，应用过去分词表被动，作状语。故填located。

【4】

考查形式宾语。句意：因特网被设计的目的是使人们更容易地获得他们需要的信息。make后面真正的宾语是to access the information they need，此处用形式宾语it指代这个动词不定式短语。故填it。

【5】

考查名词。句意：理查森从他的研究中得出结论，两性平等还有很长的路要走。此处是名词作主语，应用名词equality（平等）。故填equality。

【6】

考查连词。句意：尽管夜间空气很热，但我们睡得很沉，因为我们辛苦工作了一天，累得要命。此处意为“尽管”，是由as/though引导的让步状语从句的倒装形式，即“表语+ as/though +主语+系动词”结构，此结构表倒装。故填as/though。

【7】

考查时态。句意：到去年年底，他已花光了他从父亲那里继承的所有钱。此处缺乏谓语动词，时间“By the end of +过去的时间”是过去完成时的标志，用过去完成时（had done）。故填had run。

【8】

考查动词。句意：此举显然是打算加强总统作为国家元首的地位。固定搭配be intended to do sth.，意为“试图/打算做某事”，应用动词原形strengthen（加强）。故填strengthen。

【9】

考查固定搭配。句意：我向经理抱怨服务质量，但没有得到任何满意。固定搭配complain to sb. about sth.，意为“向某人抱怨某事”，应用介词to。故填to。

【10】

考查强调句型。句意：你又是因为交通拥挤而迟到了？此句为强调句型“It is/was +被强调部分+ that /who+从句”，原句为：It was because the traffic was heavy during the rush hour that you were late again，被强调部分是because the traffic was heavy during the rush hour（指事情），应用that。故填that。
