【解析】

试题分析：短文介绍了法国著名的埃菲尔铁塔，它坐落在巴黎附近的河畔公园，由亚历山大·居斯塔夫·埃菲尔为巴黎世界博览会设计和建造的。每年前来参观的游客远比著名建筑卢浮宫要多。

1.句意：它坐落在巴黎附近的河畔公园。此句缺少动词，结合句意可知，答案为stands。

2.句意：它是许多年前由亚历山大·居斯塔夫·埃菲尔为巴黎世界博览会设计和建造的。此句是被动语态。and连接的前后两个成分要一致，and前为designed，为过去分词形式，结合句意，故答案为built。

3.句意：“博览会”是一个新发明，新艺术和新种类的食物展示的地方。此句缺少名词复数形式，结合句意可知，答案为inventions。

4.句意：埃菲尔希望人们可以很容易地走到塔顶。副词修饰动词，结合句意可知，答案为easily。

5.句意：法国政府不喜欢奥蒂斯给他们的第一个设计。the French government法国政府。答案为French。

6.句意：法国政府不喜欢奥蒂斯给他们的第一个设计。此句是一个定语从句， design为先行词，指物，前面有序数词修饰，故关联词用that。

7.句意：在1889年初，第一批游客到达顶部必须爬上几百个台阶。此处用动词不定式作目的状语，结合句意可知，答案为to get。

8.句意：有趣的是，埃菲尔自己住在铁塔中他自己的公寓里。此处用反身代词himself作Eiffel的同位语，指埃菲尔本人。答案为himself。

9.句意：虽然埃菲尔设计的铁塔是供人参观的，它也进行科学应用。形容词修饰名词，结合句意可知，答案为scientific。

10.句意：现在，埃菲尔塔的游客比另一个著名建筑卢浮宫要多很多。结合句意可知，此处缺少名词的复数形式，答案为visitors。
