【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上几处最著名的建筑类名胜古迹。
1.actually [解析]考查副词。分析句子可知,本空应用副词修饰动词prove。故填actually。
2.be seen [解析]考查情态动词及动词的语态。分析句子可知,construction和see之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系,所以要用被动语态,且情态动词can 后应用动词原形。故填be seen。
3.whose [解析]考查定语从句的关系词。分析句子可知,先行词the Great Wall和total length之间存在所属关系,所以此处要用whose引导。故填whose。
4.using [解析]考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,动词ing形式作介词by的宾语。故填using。
5.It [解析]考查代词。It在本句中充当形式主语,而真正的主语是that引导的从句,单词位于句首,首字母大写。故填It。
6.took [解析]考查动词的时态和语态。本句是在陈述过去发生的动作,所以要用一般过去时,且主语It和动词take之间为主动关系。故填took。
7.places [解析]考查名词的数。“one of+the+形容词最高级+复数名词”表示“最……的……之一”,为固定搭配。故填places。
8.creative [解析]考查形容词。此处使用“how+形容词+主语+谓语”构成的感叹句,所以用create的形容词形式,感叹古代建筑家十分具有创造力。故填creative。
9.to visit [解析]考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语,再根据句意可知,此处表示“要参观”,应用动词不定式充当后置定语。故填to visit。
10.a [解析]考查冠词。trade center意为“贸易中心”,此处表示泛指概念,且trade以辅音音素开头。故填a。

Ⅲ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Edun did not want to go on a hike.She especially did not want to go on a long hike in the mountains that led to a tiny cabin(小木屋) with no electricity and no running water.She wanted to stay at home reading a book instead while wrapped in a warm blanket.
“Ready?” Mom asked cheerfully after breakfast.Edun looked out the window and only saw rain,lots of it.“We should go another day,” Edun suggested.“Maybe a hundred years from now.” She worried she would get tired on the hike.She worried about getting bored at the dark cabin.Mom said it was time to stop worrying and get into the car.
Edun's brother,Will,was waiting in the garage,who wore a camera around his neck.Will was four years older than Edun and had climbed many more mountains.He'd started hiking when he was two and loved it.
Because it was raining,Edun had to wear her rain pants,her rain hat,her rain jacket,and her waterproof boots.Her jacket had a rough material on the inside.She didn't like how it felt against her skin.
After about half an hour's drive,they parked at a trailhead(登山口).The rain had stopped but the ground was still dripping wet.“We'll be there by afternoon!” Mom promised.The afternoon sounded far away.
Will identified a bird sitting on a nearby branch—“Fox Sparrow!”—then he raced down the trail and was soon out of sight.
Edun rested under a pine tree.“You can't force me to walk,” Edun said.“You're right,” said her mom smilingly,standing under the tree,too,“but you will never know what may lie ahead and amaze us.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Thinking Mom was right,Edun followed her down the trail.

[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
Thinking Mom was right,Edun followed her down the trail.They passed a waterfall,tiny yet clear.The trickle of water made Edun feel better.To her amazement,as they walked on,there was always something to look for in the wet green woods: animal tracks,wildflowers,little creeks.Soon they caught up with Will,who eagerly showed them the photos he took of the Fox Sparrow resting on a branch.Together they went on,strolling past scratchy bushes,climbing over gray rocks and hiking through dwarf trees.Edun loomed above those little trees,exclaiming,“Look,Mom,I'm a giant.” Unknowingly they had already done most of the climb.
Paragraph 2:
Twenty minutes later,they saw the cabin.Edun and Will started racing up the hill.Finally,there they were in the small yet cozy cabin.Through its window,Edun saw faraway meadows and lakes,and many more mountains,a whole new world emerging before her eyes.That night,everybody stayed up late to see the stars.So many stars clustering up there,Edun proposed,“I need to take a picture of them.” “Click!” The camera froze the moment.Radiant with a smile,Edun approached Mom and hugged her,whispering,“Mom,thank you for having me come!”
