【答案详解】
1.crowds考查名词。句意:它全长不到7公里,让人们在上下班途中避开了上面道路上可怕的人群。句中crowd是名词,意为“人群”,道路是拥挤的“人群”,所以要用crowd的复数形式crowds。故答案为crowds。

4.the考查冠词。句意:这包括挖掘道路,铺设轨道,然后在顶部建造一个坚固的屋顶。本句是介绍地铁的建筑方法,最后封顶,此处“特指”地铁的顶部,所以用定冠词the。故答案为the。

6.fairly考查副词。句意:人们用蒸汽机来拉动车厢,烟雾和噪音对乘客来说肯定很不舒服。句中unpleasant是形容词,由副词修饰,fair是形容词,其副词是fairly,在句中作状语修饰形容词unpleasant。故答案为fairly。
7.it考查代词。句意:然而,这条铁路很快就大获成功,不到6个月,每天使用这条铁路的人数就超过了2.5万人。该空指的是“改进的这个地铁,每天超过25,000 的人们都用的地铁”,这里是同类同物,所以用it指代the railway。故答案为it。
8.managed考查时态。句意:后来,工程师们设法在深隧道系统中修建铁路。根据Later,可知这里在描述过去发生的事情;且后文which became known as the tube用的是一般过去时,根据前后时态一致的原则此处也要用一般过去时。故答案为managed。

10.successful考查形容词。句意:伦敦中心铁路是这些新线路中最成功的一条,于1900年开通。most后跟形容词组成形容词的最高级,success是名词,其形容词是successful,最高级most successful 是“最成功的”。故答案为successful。

2.a 考查冠词。句意:相反,她在纽约做模特,每天挣6500英镑。根据语境可知,萨拉只是纽约众多模特中的“一个”,此处是泛指,且model是以辅音音素开头的词,所以其前面用不定冠词a表示“一”。故答案为a。
3.has been told/was told。考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:萨拉被告知/被告知她可以成为英国的新超模,在明年赚100万美元。动词tell后接双宾语tell sb. sth.“告诉某人某事”,由此可判断该空用被动语态;再根据空后that引导的宾语从句的谓语动词could be,可知这里在描述已经发生的事情,也就是“萨拉已经被告诉”,所以此处要用现在完成时的被动语态或一般过去时的被动语态;句子主语是Sarah,第三人称单数形式,谓语动词也要用动词的单数第三人称形式。故答案为has been told/was told。
4.who 考查定语从句。句意:但是莎拉,曾经和顶级模特一起参加过时装秀,她想要证明自己不仅美丽,而且有智慧。分析句子结构可知,逗号后面是一个非限制性定语从句,从句缺少关系词,也缺少主语;此处逗号前的Sarah是先行词,指人,在从句中作主语,that不能引导非限制性定语从句,关系代词who符合语境。故答案为who。
5.to prove 考查动词不定式。句意:但是莎拉,曾经和顶级模特一起参加过时装秀,她想要证明自己不仅美丽,而且有智慧。固定搭配:want to do sth.“想要做某事”,其中动词不定式作宾语。故答案为to prove。
6.education 考查名词。句意:她决心继续她的教育。空前面是形容词性物主代词her,形容词性物主代词修饰名词;所给词educate是动词,其名词是education,且是不可数名词,无复数形式。故答案为education。
7.invitations 考查名词复数。句意:为了专心学习,她已经拒绝了几次演出邀请。空前的several意为“几个,数个”,修饰可数名词复数,所给词invitation是可数名词,其复数是invitations。故答案为invitations。
8.in 考查介词。句意:毕业后,她计划花一年时间做全职模特,然后再上大学攻读工程学或建筑学学位。固定搭配:get a degree in,意为“在……方面获得学位”。故答案为in。

10.certainly 考查副词。句意:这当然很有趣,但生活方式有点不真实。此处是副词修饰整个句子,所给词certain是形容词,其副词是certainly。故答案为certainly。
