發(fā)現(xiàn)92%的用戶僅通過四個階段(即五個分離度)連接。所以，花一分鐘想想:你和你經(jīng)常乘坐的公交車司機或送包裹的人有什么聯(lián)系?Readthetextandfillintheblankswithaproperwordortheproperformofthewordgiveninbracket.TheskyrailwaySittingbackinmyseat,Ican'tquitebelievethatI'mabouttotravelalongtherailwaythatmanyforeignexpertsclaimedwas“impossible".Thetrainhasbeenracingalong(1)(steady)sinceitleftXining.Allthistime,thesong“SkyRailway"hasbeenplayinginsidemyhead.Thewords"railwayslikemassivedragonsarewindingamongthemountains"seemparticularlyvivid(2)Itravelacrossthe"roofoftheworld".IwasoneofthepeoplewhocamefromallpartsofChinatowork(3)thisrailway.Takingyears(4)(complete),theQinghai-TibetRailwayisarecordofallofoureffortstoovercomethemostdifficultengineeringchallenges.Howtoprotectthedelicateecosystem(5)amongthetopconcerns.ThefirstlandmarktocatchmyeyeisthesplendidQingshuiheBridge,theworld's(6)(long)bridgebuiltoverpermafrost.Look!AgroupofTibetanantelopes(7)(move)underthebridge,withsome(8)(stop)toeatgrassattheirleisure.Thirty-threepassageshavebeenbuiltundertherailwaytoallowtheanimalstomovesafelyandfreelyin(9)naturalhabitat.WildanimalssuchastheseTibetanantelopeshavenowbeenusingthesepassagesforyears.Theyseemtotally(10)(aware)thatwearespeedingpastatover100kilometersanhour.Topreventdamage(11)wetlandsandgrasslands,675bridgeswithatotal(12)(long)ofabout160kilometerswerebuiltbetweenGolmudandLhasa.Weevenmoved140,000squaremetersofwetlandtoanewareainordertoprotect(13)distinctecosystem.Thejourneyhasbeenflyingby,andbeforeIknow(14),wehavereachedTanggulaStation.Locatedatover5,000metersabovesealevel,thisisthe(15)(high)railwaystationintheworld.Inlocationssuchasthis,thethinair,(16)(change)weatherandhighlevelsofUVradiationpresentedperhapsthe(17)(great)challengeforrailwayworkers.Tomakesurewestayedhealthy,severaloxygen-makingstations(18)(construct).Wewerealsoabletoenjoyregularbreaksin(19)(low)areas.AswepassedCuonaLake,Ifeltasenseofprideand(20)(achieve).Usingthousandsandthousandsofsandbags,webuiltatwenty-kilometerwallalongthelaketoprotectitfromconstructionwaste.CuonaLakeissoclosetotherailwaythatIwanttoreach(21)andtouchitspalebluemirror-likesurface.Waterbirdsplayinginthelake,andcattleandsheepwanderingthegrasslandsbringthescenerytolife.TheQinghai-TibetPlateauhasbeenattractingpeople's(22)(admire)forcenturies.Now,thankstoourefforts,passengersfromalloverthecountryhavebeenenjoyingthese(23)(magic)landscapes.Iamproudthatwebuiltour"impossible"railwayanddidsowiththecarethattheenvironment(24)(deserve).Ittrulyis(25)extraordinary“SkyRailway".What'stheauthor'spurposeinwritingthistext?Keys:(1)steadily;(2)as;(3)on;(4)tocomplete;(5)was;(6)longest;(7)ismoving;(8)stopping;their;(10)unaware;(11)to;(12)length;(13)its;(14)it;(15)highest;(16)changeable;(17)greatest;(18)wereconstructed;(19)lower;(20)achievement;(21)out;(22)admiration;(23)magical;(24)deserves;(25)anToexplainhowthe"impossible"railwaywasbuiltandpraisetheworker'seffortsinbuildingit.Fillintheblankswiththeoneofthewordsgivenintheboxoritsproperforms.admire,although,ancient,attract,bottom,clever,complete,environment,first,harm,local,maintain,produce,rain,sheet,significance,solve,trouble,value,vapour,wrap,thereforeImaginemountains(1)insilverwater,shininginthespringsun.Summerseesthemountainsturnbrightgreenwithgrowingrice.Duringautumn,thesesamemountainsaregold,andinwintertheyarecoveredin(2)ofwhitefrost.ThesearethecoloursoftheLongjiRiceTerraces.Theseterraceswerebuiltbythe(3)ZhuangandYaopeople,towhomGuangxiishome.StartingintheYuanDynasty,workontheterracestookhundredsofyears,untilits(4)intheearlyQingDynasty.Reachingasfarastheeyecansee,theseterracescovertallmountains,oftenfromthe(5)totheverytop.Sowhydidthesepeoplegotosomuch(6)toturntheentiremountainsintoterraces?(7),therearefewlarge,flatareasoflandintheregion.Buildingtheterraces(8)meantthattheycouldincreasetheareasinwhichtheycouldgrowrice.Secondly,(9)theregionhasplentyofrain,themountainsaresteepandthesoilisshallow.Theflatterracescatchtherainwaterandpreventthesoilfrombeingwashedaway.Butperhapswhatismost(10)isthewayinwhichpeoplehaveworkedinharmonywithnaturetomaketheseterracesandgrowrice.Theterracesare(11)designed,withhundredsofwaterwaysthatconnectwitheachother.Duringthe(12)season,itisalongthesewaterwaysthatrainwatermovesdownthemountainsandintotheterraces.Thesunheatsthewaterandturnsitinto(13).Thisformscloudsfromwhichrainfallsdownontothemountainterracesonceagain.Theseterracesalsoprovideaperfect(14)forbirdsandfish,someofwhichfeedoninsectsthatcan(15)thericecrops.Althoughmoderntechnologycouldhelpproducemorecrops,theseterracesstillmeanalottothelocalpeopleforwhomtraditionsholdmuch(16).Thisknowledgeispasseddownthroughfamilies,whichmeansthatnewgenerationscontinuetouse(17)methodsofagricultureto(18)theterraces.Today,theLongjiRiceTerraces(19)thousandsofvisitorswhocometo(20)thisgreatwondercreatedbypeopleandnatureworkingtogether.What'stheauthor'spurposeinwritingthistext?What'seachparagraphofthetextmainlyabout?WhydoestheauthorsaytheLongjiRiceTerracesarecleverlydesigned?Readthesummaryofthetextandunderlinefourfactualmistakes.TheLongj
