【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了关于了解一个城镇的不同的方法。作者提出亲自到城镇里转一转要比拿一本旅行指南好。

1.B考查动词及语境理解。句意：当然，我们还可以借助导游手册来研究（study）其历史和特有的（special）的发展并了解它们。write 写； study学习、研究；tell告诉；remember记忆。我们不能借助导游手册来写（write）其历史，也不需要讲述（tell）和记忆（remember）其历史。可知该选B。

2.D考查名词及语境理解。句意：当我们作为一个整体来看, 我们开始有一些问题, 即使是最好的导游书也没有答案。Ideas主意；opinions观点；feelings感觉；questions问题。下文有动词answer，此处是先行词，在定语从句中用answer的宾语，只有questions才能构成动宾关系。可知该选D。

3.C考查介词及语境理解。句意：为什么这样的小镇, 是这个形状, 这个规划, 这个大小? of的；for对于；like像；as作为。可知该选C。

4.A考查动词及语境理解。句意：即使是最好的导游手册也不能告诉我们。fails 失败；helps 帮助；wants想要；prefers喜欢。根据句意结合语境可知该选A。

5.D考查形容词及语境理解。句意：人们在里面找不到关于一个小镇已发展到现在的外观的信息。 old 旧的；normal 正常的；first第一、首先；present 现在的，当前的。可知该选D。

6.A考查动词及语境理解。句意：然而, 在小镇走走可能会得到一些过去是什么样子的想法。used to 过去常常；seemed似乎；had有；happened发生。what it used to look like 城市过去的样子，与上文the original design of a town相响应。根据句意结合语境可知该选A。

7.B考查特殊疑问词及语境理解。句意：人们也可以想象如何进行第一次规划和建设的。What什么；how怎样；when什么时候；where哪里。选项A是疑问代词，用在此处语法结构错误；选项C和D分别指这座城市首次建造的时间和地点，与上文the original design of a town和what it used to look like没有联系；选项B表示这座城市设计建造的方式。根据句意结合语境可知该选B。

8.D考查动词及语境理解。句意：然后人们还能更多地了解这座城市未来继续发展方向。Stops停止；appears出现；starts开始；continues继续。根据句意结合语境可知该选D。

9.B考查名词及语境理解。句意：对我来说, 通过访问和用自己的眼睛看一个城镇，我相信一个人可以得到更大的快乐。success成功；pleasure高兴、快乐；hope希望；suffering痛苦。根据句意结合语境可知该选B。
