试题分析: 本文介绍了迪拜。在半个世纪前，迪拜是一个有6000人的渔村。自1966以来，当石油被发现，迪拜的人口已经增长到260多万。多年来，它已成为一个著名的旅游目的地。文章还讲述了迪拜成为旅游胜地的原因。

【1】has become 考查时态。经年累月，是指从过去知道现在，过用现在完成时，has become。

【2】What 考查主语从句引导词。句意：这个地方最吸引游客的是购物免税，干燥的天气，优良的住宿、美食和在海滩上走上几英里。空格处在主语从句中作主语，表示“……的东西”，故填What。

【3】to experience考查不定式。不定式表示目的。句意：一些外国游客专门来到这里是为了体验购物。故填to experience。

【4】providing考查非谓语动词。provide与主句主语是主动关系，故用v-ing形式。句意：这里有很多的购物商场，提供所有的你能叫得出名字的著名品牌。故填providing。

【5】attractions考查名词。句意：在迪拜选择去什么地方参观是困难的，因为即使是酒店也有惊人的吸引力。故填attractions。

【6】it考查代词。用it指代的是前文提到的The Burj A1 Arab，故填it。

【7】a考查冠词。表示“形状像一艘船”，泛指，故填a

【8】taller 考查比较级。根据后面的than可知，这里是用The Burj A1 Arab与the Eiffel Tower相比，故要用比较级结构。故填taller。

【9】truly 考查副词。此处修饰谓语动词give，应该用副词形式。故填truly。

【10】offered 考查非谓语动词。此处是指被提供给所有的游客，应该用过去分词表示被动关系。故填offered。
