【解析】本文主要讲述了在交通拥堵的城市，政府为了减缓交通压力和保证民众的安全，修建了许多的立交桥。

本题考查学生对语法知识的运用能力，以及对整个文章的理解。

【1】考查定语从句。句意：大城市的很多地方能发现立交桥，特别是在交通拥挤，过马路很危险的地方。先行词是 places，定语从句不缺成分，此处需要填入表示地点的关系副词 where．故正确答案为 where。

【2】考查动词。句意：这些立交桥的目的是为了确保行人安全过马路。本句的主语是 The purpose 为第三人称单数，所以使用 is。故正确答案为 is。

【3】考查副词。句意：这些立交桥的目的是为了确保行人安全过马路。填空处前谓语动词为 cross，填空处用来修饰 cross，意为"安全地过马路"，故使用副词形式来修饰动词。故正确答案为 safely。

【4】考查形容词。结合句意，上文提到 Overhead bridges are used in very much 意为"立过街天桥经常被使用"，下文提及 way as zebra crossings 意为"和斑马线的方式"，两种方式都是用来安全地过马路，所以两种方式是一样的（same）。故正确答案为 same。

【5】考查比较级。上文提及 more efficient 使用了肯定语气的比较级，再结合下文 people have to climb up a long flight of steps 意为"人们必须要爬很长一段楼梯"，所以可以推测此处为较不方便，否定形式的比较级。故正确答案为 less。

【6】考查形容词。本句的主语This 代指上一句的"爬很多的楼梯"，结合下文的 especially to older people 意为"尤其对于老人"，可知，爬很多的楼梯对于老人来说十分的不方便（inconvenient）。故正确答案为 inconvenient。

【7】考查非谓语动词。结合上文 This is why the government has built many overhead bridges 以及下文 pedestrians 可知，政府建造很多过街天桥的原因是来帮助行人，表示目的使用非谓语动词中的不定式。故正确答案为 to help。

【8】考查动词。句意：为了安全，应该鼓励行人使用天桥，而不是冒着生命危险冲过马路。填空处前方为词组 instead of，of 作为介词后面连接的动词要变成动名词的形式。故正确答案为 risking。

【9】考查宾语补足语。make 作为本句谓语动词，填空处后有 a habit to use them，可以推测 a habit to use them 是宾语补足语进一步解释填空处的宾语，to use them 为真正宾语，填空处应该填入形式宾语 it。故正确答案为 it。

【10】考查名词。填空处后有介词 of，of 后接名词 life 意为"生活"，给出的词为 lose 是动词形式，应该选择 lose 的名词的形式来和 life 构成所属关系，即"生活的损失"，lose 的名词形式为 loss。故正确答案为 loss。
