解析：

【文章大意】这是一篇说明文,是关于大火毁坏文化古迹的,通过介绍巴黎圣母院的大火烧毁了世界闻名的古迹,给人类敲响警钟。

【小题1】答案:structures

答案:考查名词复数。句意:巴黎圣母院的大火,引发了对欧洲其他教堂和文化建筑现状的疑问。Structure是可数名词,前面有thousands of(成千上万)修饰,所以要用复数形式,故填structures。

【小题2】答案:has done

解析:考查动词时态。句中的in the past decades(在过去的几十年)是现在完成时态的时间标志,European government(欧洲政府)是主语,名词单数,所以要用has done,故填has done

【小题3】答案:that

解析:考查固定搭配。句意: 我们对优秀文化遗产太习以为常,以至于我们忘了它也需要时不时的修复。so...that...意为“如此……以至于……”,故填that。

【小题4】答案:restoring/to be restored

解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:我们对文化古迹的出众太习以为常,以至于我们忘了它也需要时不时的修复。it指代cultural heritage,与restore(修复)是被动的关系,need doing/to be done意为“需要被…”。故填restoring/to be restored。

【小题5】答案:of

解析:考查固定搭配。句意:长久以来,大火抢走了人类的知识、艺术和财富。rob sb.of sth.意为“抢走某人的某物”。故填of.

【小题6】答案:found

解析:考查谓语动词。句意:2015年,德国的西门子公司发现苏格兰一年大概10场毁灭性的大火,而英国每年大概损失十栋建筑。in2015是一般过去时态的时间标志,find是句子的谓语,所以用did,故填found。

【小题7】答案:damaging

解析:考查形容词。句意:2015年,德国的西门子公司发现苏格兰一年大概10场破坏性的大火,而英国每年大概损失十栋建筑。空白处是形容词修饰fires, damage的形容词damaging意为“有破坏性的,损害的”,故填damaging。

【小题8】答案:heavily

解析:考查副词。空白处修饰动词damaged,要用副词,heavy的副词是heavily,故填heavily。

【小题9】答案:what

解析:考查宾语从句。句意:专家说需要的是持续的关注和维护。空白处引导是say后的宾语从句,做say的宾语和is的主语,是双重成分。故填what

【小题10】答案:significance

解析:考查名词。句意:Sneska,欧洲黑手党遗产组织的领导者,提到注意到这种尊重的重要性。该句子中the后面要用名词作定语,significant的名词是significance(意义;重要性)。故填significance。
