【语篇解读】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】考查介词。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，此处其前要用定冠词the表示特指，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the railway，故填it。

【8】考查动词。此处表示过去的情况，所以这里也应用一般过去时，且此处表示主动，故填managed。
