【大意】材料主要介绍了艾菲尔铁塔的由来以及人们对它的看法。
81. started。此句缺少谓语动词。它讲述的事情发生在过去，因此用动词的过去时形式。句意为：第一届世博会于1851年“开始”于伦敦。
82. also。其他国家“也”想举办世博会。
83. different。后面列举了几次不同的世博会举办国，故此处填different。
84. latest。根据本空前后的时间2010，2015，2017可知应填入的是“最近的”一届。
85. completed。本句讲述的是过去的事情，因此用动词的过去时形式。句意为：132名工人和50名工程师用了两年时间“完成”了艾菲尔铁塔的修建。
86. first。at first?意为“起初”。
87. restaurant。从enjoyed lunch可以推测此处应该是“饭店”。
88. place。根据后面的where引导的定语从句可知它所修饰的应该是一个地方，故填place。
89. but。该空前后句子意思有明显的转折关系。前面说wanted to take down，后面说this didn't happen，因此填but。
90. Millions。millions of?意为“大量的；无数的”。
