本题主要考查形容词、副词的比较级和最高级的用法，结合固定结构和语境分析如下：
1. 固定结构"one of the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数"表示"最……的……之一"，多音节形容词wonderful的最高级形式为most wonderful。
2. 句中出现提示词than（比），要用形容词strange的比较级stranger。
3. 句意为"这是威尼斯多年来见过的最有趣的景象"，定冠词the后接形容词最高级，funny的最高级为funniest。
4. 句中出现than，修饰动词flow（流动）要用副词的比较级，slow的副词形式是slowly，其比较级为more slowly。
5. 句中出现than，even可修饰比较级加强语气，big的比较级为bigger。
6. 此处需要修饰比较级warmer，表示"……得多"，要用副词much，many不能修饰比较级。
7. 此处修饰动词grew（生长），要用副词形式quickly。
8. 句中出现than，要用形容词clear的比较级clearer。
9. 对应前文的cleaner，此处表示藻类在更干净的水里会长得更好，要用副词well的比较级better。
