解析：①考查词性转换。句意:爱德华是一位才华横溢的英国作家,他在英语这门语言上留下了自己的印记。分析句子结构可知,设空处作定语修饰名词writer,故填形容词talented“有天赋的”。
②考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词writer,且在定语从句中作主语,故填who或that。
③考查定语从句。句意:他的经典小说《庞贝城的末日》想象了公元79年维苏威火山爆发时在古罗马城市庞贝的生活。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词79 AD,且在定语从句中作时间状语,故填关系副词when。
④考查连词。句意:这场可怕的自然灾害彻底摧毁了庞贝城,但也将这座古城为未来的时代保存了下来。由语境可知,前后两个句子之间为转折关系,故填but。
⑤考查动词的时态和语态。句意:自1748年以来,人们对庞贝城进行了系统地发掘。分析句子结构可知,设空处在句中充当谓语,由时间状语Since 1748可知应用现在完成时,且主语Pompeii与动词unearth之间为被动关系,故用现在完成时的被动语态。
⑥考查冠词。句意:如今,它是一个国际旅游目的地。设空处表示泛指,应用不定冠词,且international以元音音素开头,故用不定冠词an。
⑦考查连词。句意:将近17个世纪过去了,庞贝城才被从它沉寂的安息地挖掘出来。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导时间状语从句,意为“经过……才”,故填连词before。
⑧考查动词的时态和语态。句意同上。分析句子结构可知,设空处作从句的谓语,由主句时态可知应用一般过去时,且主语the city of Pompeii与动词dig之间为被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态。
⑨考查状语从句的省略。句意:它的墙壁是崭新的,仿佛是昨天粉刷过的……。分析句子结构可知, Its walls were fresh as if ⑨______(paint) yesterday为状语从句的省略形式,完整的表达为: Its walls were fresh as if they were painted yesterday,故填painted。
⑩考查名词的数。句意:这座美丽城市的遗迹幸存下来,提醒我们人类的生命是光明而短暂的。分析句子结构可知,设空处作主语,且由动词原形burn可知,此处应用名词复数,故填lives。
