【解析】

本篇文章難度適中，主要講述埃及金字塔以及它坐落的方位，在古代如何建成的仍然是一個謎。

【1】句意“在埃及，它4000年前就被造出來了”。build建造，主語it與動詞build之間為被動關(guān)系be done，故填built。

【2】句意“它是如此地受歡迎，以至于每年世界上有數(shù)百萬的游客來參觀”。根據(jù)millions of tourists from around the world come to visit it every year可知，有數(shù)百萬人來參觀，是受歡迎的，popular受歡迎的，故填popular。

【3】句意“在埃及，有超過80個金字塔，但最大的是“大金字塔””。根據(jù)You can h____6____imagine how huge the Great Pyramid is可知，大金字塔很大，large大的，且根據(jù)there are over 80 pyramids可知，用最高級，故填largest。

【4】句意“它位于尼羅河的西岸”。lie坐落于，指現(xiàn)在的狀態(tài)，用一般現(xiàn)在時，且主語為it，故填lies。

【5】句意“那就是為什么他們的尸體要埋在西岸”。根據(jù)The ancient Egyptians compared the rising of the sun to beginning of life and the setting of the sun to the end of life可知，表示原因，故填why。

【6】句意“你想不到大金字塔有多大”。根據(jù)It has over 2 million blocks可知，它是由200萬塊積木搭成的，所以你幾乎想象不到它有多大，hardly幾乎不，故填hardly。

【7】句意“盡管它很沉，但是工人們能每三分鐘就把積木放到金字塔里”。根據(jù)句意可知，前后文表示讓步，although盡管，且空位于句首，故填Although。

【8】句意“團(tuán)隊有不同的任務(wù)”。根據(jù)Some dug up the stones. Others moved them. Another team cut the stones. The last group put the stones into the pyramid可知，他們的任務(wù)不同，分工不同，task任務(wù)，且根據(jù)different可知，用復(fù)數(shù)，故填tasks。

【9】句意“沒有石頭放在錯誤的位置”。根據(jù)but the pyramid is perfect可知，他們很完美，沒有錯誤的，wrong錯誤的，故填wrong。

【10】句意“但是，在沒有現(xiàn)代機(jī)械的情況下，埃及人如何將這些沉重的石頭搬到頂部的？”。根據(jù)It was b___1___more than 4, 000 years ago in Egypt可知，4000年前沒有現(xiàn)代機(jī)械，without沒有，故填without。
