【分析】本题为语篇填空题，需结合语法知识、固定搭配及上下文语境完成填空。解题思路：先分析每个空的语法结构，如名词单复数、形容词级、词性转换等；再结合上下文逻辑判断连词、介词等；最后依据固定句型或短语确定答案。
【解析】25. 考查固定结构“one of + 可数名词复数”，表示“……之一”，故将wonder变为复数wonders；26. 考查让步状语从句，根据句意“尽管长城部分已消失，但仍是热门景点”，用although/though引导；27. 考查形容词最高级，定冠词the后需用最高级，long的最高级为longest；28. 考查形容词比较级，even修饰比较级，wide的比较级是wider；29. 考查固定句型“It takes + 时间 + to do sth”，故填不定式to finish；30. 考查副词，修饰动词know，需用clear的副词形式clearly；31. 考查固定搭配be for sth，表目的，故填for；32. 考查固定短语a symbol of，意为“……的象征”，故填a；33. 考查形容词，修饰名词wall，结合语境“不寻常的”，用usual的反义词unusual；34. 考查形容词，修饰事物（长城），用amazing（形容事物的特征）。
