—Have you heard of ______ death of Nelson Mandela?

--Oh, really? It will be ______shock to the world.

A. /; the B. a; the C. /; a D. the; a

 

D

【解析】

試題分析：冠詞的考查集中在定冠詞the表示特指；不定冠詞a/an表示泛指。另外要注意一些固定搭配中冠詞的使用。特別注意抽象名詞具體化的用法，如honor，success，failure，surprise，pleasure等名詞抽象名詞具體化的用法。本題第一空考察的是定冠詞the表示特指，the death of Nelson Mandela特指曼德拉的去世；第二空后的名詞shock在本句中是一個可數(shù)名詞，表示“令人驚訝的事情”,a shock指一件令人驚訝的事情。驚訝：—你聽說曼德拉去世了嗎？—真的嗎？這將是一件讓全世界都震驚的事情。故D正確。

考點：考察冠詞

On June 15th，2012，millions of people watched as 33?year?old Nik Wallenda walked across one of the world's greatest waterfalls on a tightrope(鋼絲)．What made the 25－minute walk that was televised live and watched by over 13 million people worldwide even more amazing，is that it was done over the Niagara Falls－An action that had never been attempted before.

Even though Nik was wearing a harness(保護(hù)帶)，a safety measure provided by ABC，the television network that broadcast the event，his action to keep his balance against the strong winds made for some heart－stopping(令人擔(dān)憂的) moments for the audience.

Nik，however，never slowed down for even one moment.Wearing special shoes made by his mother，he remained totally focused on the job at hand.It was only when he got to the last stretch near Canada's Table Rock that he knelt down on one knee and finally broke into a smile.Waving and blowing kisses to the cheering audience，he knew he had accomplished a great task，which most people had thought impossible.

While he described the whole experience as peaceful and relaxing，Nik said his biggest challenges came from a totally unexpected source－his 40 pound balancing pole.The balancing pole was so heavy that he could hardly carry it on the tightrope.

One would think that now that Nik has realized his lifelong dream he would be ready to hang up his “balancing pole”．However，the adventurer who already has seven Guinness World Records under his belt，is just getting started－Next up? A 5，000－foot tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon.While the one across the Niagara Falls took years of planning because he had to convince the US and Canadian officials，this one should happen in the very near future.That's because，the Florida resident has already been granted(授予) a permit by the Canyon officials.

1.Why did so many people fix their attention on the event?

A．Because it was done by Nik Wallenda.

B．Because nobody had done it there before.

C．Because it was broadcast live by ABC.

2.What made the audience hold their breath during Nik's performance?

A．How Nik managed to cross the Niagara Falls with safety measure.

B．What Nik would do when he lost his balance on the tightrope.

C．How Nik kept his balance against the strong winds.

D．How long Nik will take to finish the event.

3.What was the greatest difficulty for him to face in Nik view?

A．The supplied tightrope.

B．The safety belt.

D．The audience's noise.

4.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
