【解析】

试题分析：本篇着重介绍兰州花费大量财力建筑立交桥，以及它们的利弊。立交桥有着很有用的目的，人们应该使用立交桥，因为它们对防止交通事故的发生起着很大的作用。

1.dangerous 句意：兰州到处都找得到立交桥，特别是交通拥挤和过马路危险的地方。根据常识，立交桥建在交通拥挤，穿过公路危险的地方。故填：dangerous

2.safely句意：立交桥的目的是乘客能够安全地过马路。根据语境可以推测出这里填“安全”，修饰动词cross，用副词形式。故填：safely。

3.although句意：立交桥也常用于斑马线处，更高效，尽管不太方便，因为人们不得不爬长长的梯步。通过立交桥过公路，更加高效了，虽然不方便，表示含义转折，故填although。

4.using句意：当乘客用斑马线过公路时，车辆就被堵住了。车辆被堵是因为人们在“用”斑马线，可以推测出这里填use，前面有are可以推测出这里用进行时态，动词用现在分词，故填：using.

5.at句意：这就是政府修那么多的立交桥使得乘客和车辆同时通行。At the same time 同时，固定结构，故填at。

6.spent句意：兰州政府花了许多钱修建立交桥。从句意可以推测出这里填“花费”，从后面的in building可以推测出本题用的：sb spend some money (in) doing sth 某人花多少钱做某事，这个结构。由前面的has可以知道用的是现在完成时态，动词用过去分词，故填：spent。

7.should句意：为了安全，应该鼓励乘客用立交桥而不是冒着生命危险横穿公路。从后面的be encouraged可以知道这里是被动语态，而且是“一般将来时”或“情态动词”的被动语态。被选答案中只有情态动词should，故填：should。

8.it句意：然而，老人可能发现爬梯子有点儿难。Find后跟动词短语作宾语，常用it作形式宾语，将真实的宾语用不定式或动名词形式放在后面。故填：it。

9.much句意：但是还是比跟着所有奔跑的车辆一起穿过公路要安全得多。两者相比，用的比较级，修饰比较级常用much, a little。选项中只有一个much。故填：much。

10.句意：高架桥的建立是为一个非常有用的目的。乘客们，不论老幼，应该养成一种使用立交桥的习惯。从句意可以推测出这里填“习惯”：habit。
