【解析】本文主要讲了天津滨海新区的“天津之眼”图书馆刷屏朋友圈，甚至火到了国外。而在如今的数字化时代里，实体图书馆也依然有其不可替代的魅力。

1.考查冠词。泛指“一个网上的成功”，且online的首字母发音是元音，所用用不定冠词an。

2.考查介词。《英国每日邮报》称其为“世界终极图书馆”，而《美国新闻周刊》则选用了“惊艳”一词形容，所以填as。

3.考查名词。《英国每日邮报》称其为“世界终极图书馆”，而《美国新闻周刊》则选用了“惊艳”一词形容。这里应该使用名词，所以填choice。

4.考查连词。看一眼这所图书馆，你就明白为什么会这样说了。表示并列关系，所以用and。

5.考查非谓语动词。walls与fill之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语，填filled。

6.考查非谓语动词。a burning question与lie之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词，填lying。

7.考查特殊疑问词。一家家实体书店在关门歇业，是什么让图书馆在数字化的浪潮中生存下来。表示“什么”，所以填what。

8.考查副词。修饰动词changing，用副词，所以填simply。

9.考查定语从句。that ____9____ (call) a “third place”作定语，修饰something，所以that ____9____ (call) a “third place”是一个定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，something与call之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态，填is called。

10.考查介词 + 关系代词引导的定语从句。in ___10___ we can fully concentrate on our study and work without easily getting distracted. 是介词 + 关系代词引导的定语从句，指物，只能用which。
