【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了地铁的最初发展史。

【1】考查名词， 此处表示复数概念，crowd前没有冠词，且它是可数名词，故填crowds.

【2】考察介词，to and from来回，故填from

【3】考查动词，这里是由and连接的三个动词-ing形式，故填laying

【4】考查名词，top是名词，前要用冠词，故填the

【5】考查被动语态，此处表示过去的被动，故填were used.

【6】考查副词，这里fair是形容词，pleasant也是形容词，所以需要将fair变为副词来修饰形容词，故填fairly。

【7】考查代词，这里用it指代前句的railway，故填it。

【8】考查动词，本文全篇都是一般过去时，所以这里也应用一般过去时，故填managed.

【9】考查词性转换，空格前是the,后面应该是名词，故填名词introduction.

【10】考查形容词，空格前是most,其后要跟形容词构成最高级，故填successful.
