A land of diversity 李仕才 一、阅读理解。‎ ‎  Imagine this.You are visiting a beautiful mountain somewhere in the countryside.Part of the trip takes you up a steep mountain cliff.At the top,visitors can step out on to a see­through walkway.The special glass floor hangs about 1,000 meters above sea level.‎ ‎    Sounds exciting,right?But then,part of the floor breaks.There is a loud noise,and some of the glass appears to break up.That is what tourists experienced recently during a visit to Yuntai Mountain in China's Henan province.‎ ‎    The glass skywalk had only been open for a few weeks.The Yuntai Mountain Geological Park said there was no reason for worry and that the cracks had no impact on safety.But online discussions about this incident show some people were of a different opinion.‎ ‎   Glass skywalks have become popular in many of China's tourist areas.But critics say China has an issue with poor technology and poor crowd control.People joked online that the setting up of these glass walkways and skyways are not clear.Others are saying that this is nothing to laugh about.One comment on the social media site Weibo said,“This is no joke.Tourism is taking your life in your own hands.No more of these glass walkways.Just too scary.”‎ ‎    The New York Times reported that a story about the glass cracking appeared on the social media site Weibo.A tourist claimed that a piece of glass broke and people began shouting“it's really broken,really broken.”This person then said people began running and pushing people in front of them.‎ 9‎ ‎    The Yuntai Mountain officials said the cracks were not serious.The officials said that to make sure people feel 100 percent safe,they have decided to close the walkway temporarily until repairs are made.‎ ‎1.What is unique about the walkway? A.It is strong enough to walk on. B.It hangs high about sea level. C.It lies high on the mountain. D.It is made of glass. 2.What happened to the glass walkway built in Yuntai Mountain? A.Some part of it broke. B.It broke up with a loud noise. C.Part of the floor fell off. D.It hurt some tourists on it. 3.How did the Yuntai Mountain Geological Park think of its present glass walkway? A.Dangerous. B.Safe. C.Worrying. D.Interesting. 4.How will the park deal with its glass walkway? A.Rebuild it. B.Remove it. C.Have it repaired. D.Leave it as it is.‎ 参考答案： 1.D; 2.A; 3.B; 4.C 解析： 1.[细节理解题。人行道由玻璃制造,与众不同,非常奇特。由第一段最后两句得出。] 2.[推理判断题。河南云台山建的玻璃桥有部分发生破裂。由第二段得出。] 3.[细节理解题。云台山地质公园认为,目前玻璃人行道是安全的。由第三段第二句得出。] 4.[细节理解题。公园方面表示要修复玻璃通道。由最后一段最后一句得出。]‎ 二、单句语法填空 ‎1．They are likely ________ (fire) by the company just because of their fault.‎ 9‎ 答案：to be fired　Sb. be likely to do sth. “某人可能做某事”。主语they与fire之间为被动关系，故应填不定式的被动形式。‎ ‎2．The majority of the interviewees ________ (prefer) watching TV at home to going to the cinema.‎ 答案：prefer　the majority of ... 作主语时，谓语动词的数与of后的名词保持一致。由interviewees可知谓语动词应用复数形式。‎ ‎3．It suddenly occurred ________ him that he should adopt the homeless child.‎ 答案：to　It (suddenly) occurred/occurs to sb. that ... “某人突然想起某事”。‎ ‎4．Whoever breaks the school rules will surely receive ________ (punish)．‎ 答案：punishment　句中动词receive后缺宾语，故应填名词punishment作宾语。‎ ‎5．We should not have ________ (race) discrimination.‎ 答案：racial　句中缺少一形容词来修饰名词discrimination, 故填racial “种族的”。‎ ‎6．She became the first black woman ________ (elect) to the Senate.‎ 答案：to be elected　当名词或代词前有序数词或最高级修饰时，则常用动词不定式来充当其后置定语，且elect与black woman之间为被动关系，故填to be elected。‎ ‎7．He couldn't express himself correctly ________ means of words.‎ 答案：by　by means of ... “借助于；用……；通过……方法”。‎ ‎8．She ________ (slip) out of the house before the others were awake.‎ 答案：slipped　句意：她趁别人还没醒，溜出了房子。分析句子结构可知该空为句子的谓语动词，由从句中动词时态were可知，应用一般过去时。‎ ‎9．________ (hire) a car, you must produce a passport and a current driving license.‎ 答案：To hire　句意：若想租车，你需要出示护照及当前驾照。此处用动词不定式作目的状语。‎ ‎10．By the time she knew the news, John ________ (fly) to America.‎ 答案：had flown　由By the time引导的从句的时态为一般过去时可知，主句应用过去完成时，故应填had flown。‎ 三、完形填空。‎
