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.

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。
