It was an early morning in summer. In the streets, sleepy eyed people were moving quickly, heading towards their jobs. This was the beginning of another ___1___ day in New York City. ___2___ this day was to be different.

Waiting ___3___ the crowded streets, on top of a building 110 stories high, was Philippe Petit. This daring Frenchman was about to ___4__ a tightrope(绷索)between the two towers of the World Trade Center.

Philippe took his first ___5___ with great care. The wire held. Now he was sure he could do it. With only a balancing pole, Philippe walked his way across a ___6___ of 131 feet.

Soon the rushhour crowds began to notice. What a wonder! There, 1350 feet above the street, a tiny figure was walking on air.

Philippe made seven trips, back and forth(来回). He wasn't satisfied with just ___7 ___. At times, he would turn, sit down, and even go on his knees. Once, he had the astonishing courage to lie down on the thin thread. And thousands of ___8___ watchers stared with their hearts beating fast.

After the forty five minute ___9___, Philippe was taken to the police station. He was asked ___10___ he did it. Philippe shrugged(耸肩)and said, "When I see two tall buildings, I walk."

1. A. working B. hot C. same D. ordinary

[答案] D

【精析】空缺处必定填与“different”意思相悖的词，而“another same day”是错误表达，

2. A. And B. So C. But D. Thus

[答案]C

【精析】分析句子内容可知此空前后两句意思有明显的转折之意，故应由but来连接。

3. A. for B. in C. by D. above

[答案] D

【精析】此题如不留心，很容易错选B，但通过下文提示“在100层高的大楼顶端”，应选above.

4. A. throw B. walk C. climb D. fix

[答案] B

【精析】下文有反复提示“walk”。此句意思是：这个大胆的法国人正要在世贸中心的两幢高楼之间走绷索。

5. A. act B. landing C. step D. trip

[答案] C

【精析】take one‘s step意为“迈出步伐”，显然，此处指的是在绷索上迈出第一步。

6. A. distance B. height C. space D. rope

[答案] A

【精析】此处指他走完了绷索的全程，所以这指的是一段距离。

7. A. walking B. staying C. acting D. showing

[答案] A

【精析】由上下文可知，他不满足于只在绷索上行走，因此选walking.

8. A. patient B. terrified C. pleased D. enjoyable

[答案] B

【精析】本句大意是：数以千计的人目不转睛地盯着他，惊恐万状，心跳加速。patient：耐心的，pleased：高兴的，enjoyable：令人愉快的，从逻辑上看只有terrified合适。

9. A. show B. trick C. try D. program

[答案] A

【精析】本句意为：45分钟的表演后，他被带到了警局。trick：花招、技巧，try：尝试，program：节目、项目，只有show(表演)才合适。

10. A. how B. why C. whether D. when

[答案] B

【精析】警察询问的显然是他这么做的原因，所以选择why.
