【解析】这篇短文介绍波特兰位于河流交汇处，由原来的最危险的港口城变成了被公认为世界上最环保的城市之一、美国“最活跃的”之一及“啤酒之城”。

【1】考查非谓语动词。句意：这座城市位于河流交汇的地方，传统上被认为是水上交通的要道。locate位于，与城市之间是被动关系，此处作状语，locate与逻辑主语the city是被动关系，用过去分词located引导状语，放于句首首字母大写。故填Located.

【2】考查副词。句意：这座城市位于河流交汇的地方，传统上被认为是水上交通的要道。Be known as被认为是，是固定短语，该空在句中修饰谓语，应该用副词形式traditionally。故填traditionally.

【3】考查不定式。句意：虽然它曾经因有组织的犯罪而不幸地成为世界上最危险的港口城市之一，但波特兰在60年代开始做出改变。set out to do着手做……，是固定搭配。结合句意可知此处填to make.

【4】考查序数词。句意：在最近的一项调查中，波特兰是美国第九大受欢迎城市。根据句意可知，the ninth表示第九。故填ninth.

【5】考查介词。句意：它被公认为世界上最环保的城市之一，因为它的步行人行道很好，骑自行车的人很多，公共交通也很方便，所以它被认为是世界上最环保的城市之一。根据句意此处表示“因为”，because后面跟从句，because of后面跟名词、名词性短语或名词性从句，根据后面的“its well-built pedestrian walkways”可知应该用because of.

【6】考查动词时态。句意：这种气候是种植玫瑰的理想选择，波特兰被称为“玫瑰之城”已经有一个多世纪了。根据“for over a century”可知应该用现在完成时，call与主语Portland之间是被动关系，用现在完成时的被动语态。故填has been called.

【7】考查形容词最高级。句意：2013年，卫报将这座城市的音乐场景命名为美国“最活跃的”之一。Lively最高级是the most lively.故填most.

【8】考查固定搭配。句意：纽约时报称它不仅是美国卡拉ok的首都，而且“最令人兴奋的音乐是大量的电影院，提供啤酒、啤酒和影院”。根据句意可知此处表示“不仅……而且……”，用not only…but also…，是固定搭配。故填but.

【9】考查分词。句意：纽约时报称它不仅是美国卡拉ok的首都，而且最令人兴奋的音乐是大量的提供啤酒的电影院，被称为“啤酒及风景”影院。“___9___ (serve) beer”作定语，修饰movie theaters，serve与被修饰名词movie theaters之间是主动关系，应该用现在分词作定语。故填serving.

【10】考查关系代词。句意：这可能是因为波特兰被称为“啤酒之城”，这个城市拥有世界上最大的啤酒啤酒厂。“___10___has the largest number of beer breweries of any city in the world.”是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是Portland，应该用which引导定语从句。故填which.
