2.它是世界七大古代奇迹之一。Wonderfully精彩地；Wonderful adj.极好的，精彩的，绝妙的；Wonder奇迹；Wonders奇迹。所填名词放在短语one of之后，所以选D。

3.长城宽得足够十人并肩走。side by side肩并肩；one by one一个接一个；one after another一个又一个的；step by step一步步地，逐步地，逐渐地。所以选 根据句意结合语境可知该选A。

4.长城是由石头和砖块砌成。was made of由…制成，能看出原料； was made from由……制成，不能看出原料；was made in在……制造； was made into被制成……。很明显长城是由石头和砖块做的，所以选A。

8.敌人来时他们在塔上点火相互告知。Tell告诉；talk谈话；speak讲，说；reply回答。所填词后跟着代词作宾语，所以选A，其他几个都是非及物动词。

9.对世界上所有的人来说它是一个著名的名胜。Interesting有趣的；interest兴趣；interested感兴趣的；interestsn.兴趣( interest的名词复数 ); 利益。place of interest名胜，所以选B。
