【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了正在北欧几个城市测试的共享街道能够有效地缓解交通堵塞和减少交通事故。

1.考查比较级。句意：在一些城市，交通堵塞在高峰时间变得非常严重，有时候走路比开车还快。than表明此处用形容词比较级，故填faster。

2.考查名词。句意：正在北欧几个城市测试的一个交通系统产生了一些令人惊讶的结果。some修饰可数名词复数，故填results。

3.考查时态语态。句意：这个系统叫做共享街道。文章的基础时态为一般现在时，system 与call之间是被动关系，应该用一般现在时的被动语态，故填is called。

4.考查不定式。句意：虽然大多数人认为这会导致交通堵塞和交通事故数量的增加，但到目前为止，两者都有了很大的下降。expect sb to do sth表示“期望某人做某事”，用动词不定式作宾补，故填to go。

5.考查there be句型。句意参考上题解析，分析句子结构可知此处为there be句型的完成式，表示“已经有”，故填there。

6.考查主谓一致。句意：原因之一是共享街道鼓励人们更加小心。主语是One reason，且为一般现在时，故填is。

7.考查形容词。句意参考上题解析，分析句子结构可知此处缺少形容词作表语，故填careful。

8.考查介词。句意：没有交通规则，人们会放慢速度，更加注意彼此。pay attention to表示“注意”，故填to。

9.考查非限定性定语从句。句意：另一方面，正常的交通系统依赖于标志，人们经常错过或不遵守，导致事故。先行词为signs，指物，关系词在从句中作follow的宾语，故填which。

10.考查副词。句意：没有固定的停车位，当交通拥挤时，汽车更容易自由移动。修饰动词短语move around用副词，故填freely。
