【小題5】worse 
【小題6】floors
【小題7】tall
【小題8】side

解析【小題1】考查動詞。since后跟含過去時(shí)的句子。build建造，過去式是built。故填built。
【小題2】考查最高級。意大利最漂亮的鐘塔。根據(jù)句意可知，用最高級。Beautiful是多音節(jié)形容詞，最高級在前面加most。故填most。
【小題3】考查指示代詞。泛指同類中的一個(gè)，用one。故填one。
【小題4】考查固定用法。try to do sth.“盡力做某事”。故填tried。
【小題5】考查比較級。工人們又建了幾層，來糾正斜塔，但這樣做使情況更糟了。故填worse。 
【小題6】考查名詞。floor“樓層”，是可數(shù)名詞。故填floors。
【小題7】考查固定用法。數(shù)字+量詞+tall/long/wide等，意為“高/長/寬多少”。故填tall。
【小題8】考查名詞。side“一邊”。斜塔向一邊傾斜四米。故填side。
【小題9】斜塔同時(shí)還在往地面以下下沉。ground“地平面”。故填ground。
【小題10】每年，斜塔都會傾斜1.7厘米。Another+數(shù)詞=數(shù)詞+more，意為在原來基礎(chǔ)上增加多少。故填another。
