副词修饰动词came,probable是形容词,probably是副词,故填probably。

根据5, 500 years ago可知时态是一般过去时,see的过去式是saw,故填saw。

be different from,固定搭配,与……不同,故填from。

根据2000年前是一般过去时,invent和pages是被动关系,主语是名词复数,故助动词是were,故填 were invented。

一开始设计的时候并不是斜的,因为地基的原因,慢慢向一侧倾斜。
虽然人们认为这不是一个成功的建筑,但是在历史上赢得了特殊的历史地位。
意大利著名科学家伽利略层在塔山做过著名的落地实验。
每年有成百万的游客来这里旅游,拍照。
(1)句意:它因向一侧倾斜而著名。
根据句意可知,这里的倾斜指塔本身的倾斜,使用与主语一致的物主代词its,故答案是its。
(2)句意:位于比萨大教堂的后面的斜塔成为了意大利的象征。
我们知道它已经成为了意大利的象征了,因此使用现在完成时,现在完成时的结构是have/has+过去分词。
主语the tower为第三人称单数,助动词使用has,故答案是has become。
(3)句意:它是比萨大教堂广场最古老的建筑之一。
oldest为形容词最高级,形容词最高级前使用定冠词the,故答案是the。
(4)句意:塔不是设计的时候就是斜的,但是因为人们把它建筑在软的土地上,慢慢地就向一边倾斜。
一开始设计的不是斜的,现在成为斜的了,与设计本身不符,因此使用转折词but连接,故答案是but。
(5)句意:即使人们因为倾斜不认为这是成功的建筑,但是它却在历史上赢得了特殊的地位。
success作定语修饰building,因此使用形容词successful,故答案是successful。
(6)句意:这座塔也曾被意大利科学家伽利略用来做实验。
call以及后面的Galileo Galilei 作后置定语修饰scientist,意思为被叫做,因此使用过去分词called,故答案是called。
