【解析】根据句意推测单词，根据题目可以比较清楚地推测出空缺处单词的汉语意思，再观察是否有固定搭配作为提示。然后从我们学过的单词中选择使句意通顺的，再根据时态和词性确定下来。

【1】句意是，这个城市在公元前8世纪被发现，在公元前89年，罗马人____了Pompeii(城市)。据此推测，横线处应是“管理”的意思，因此用took over。

【2】句意是我看到几个____壁画的家。可以推测，横线处是“装饰着”的意思，因此使用were decorated with。

【3】一则广告用文字和图片来_____人们购买商品或服务，或相信某个想法。据此可推测横线处为“说服、劝说”之意，而在表达这个意思的词里，persuade用法是persuade sb to do sth，符合句子格式。

【4】句意是，我们必须要警惕那些使用高明技巧来劝说我们购买的广告。即使广告并没有说谎，也不代表就是完全____的。在我们学过的词里，innocent表示“无辜的，无罪的；清白的”，因此应填innocent。

【5】句意是，作为国际奥委会的成员，能被邀请到你们学校就奥林匹克的历史和____做一个讨论，我非常高兴。根据句意推测，横线处应该是“意义”的意思，因此用significance。
