题文
阅读理解。 The Great Wall of China is one of Beijing's biggest draws for tourists; despite its fame and ubiquityin postcards across the world, it rarely fails to attract tourists at the first proper sight.
Yet the authorities open only certain sections of the wall as fit for viewing, and few get to visit the
unauthorized sections. Fewer still are aware of the existence of at least one part of the Wall that remains
in almost original condition, nearly 1, 500 years after construction of legendary fortification began. But
there's a good reason for this-it's underwater.
American journalist Steven Schwankert has been diving since age 10. It was through his setting-up
of a diving school that Schwankert came to explore some of lesser-known areas of China's Iakes-and
discovered the underwater Wall under a reservoir.
"The most fascinating piece of diving I ever did in China must be the Great Wall. I managed to find
out about it via the Internet It wasn't difficult to get to Pan Jiakou in Hebei Province, near the East Qing
Tomb about 4 hours' drive from Beijing. Why do I want to dive the Great Wall? Why do people want to
walk on the Great Wall? It's the same answer."
There are, however, advantages of visiting the Great Wall in a diving suit over being on foot. The
water acts as a preservative by preventing the kind of mass tourism that has brought trouble on other
parts of the Wall. "Unlike the people who walk in the Wall, we as divers never need to actually touch it.
I've dived twice there, the last time in July. I found that the water then was much deeper than it was
before-13 meters deep.." When he first dived, parts of the Wall were visible above the surface. Now
even the guard tower is completely submerged. "It's better that the Wall is deep under water, as there
are lots of boats coming in and out around that area. Their wave action could potentially damage the
brickwork. So, the deeper, the better." 1. Steven Schwankert is most interested in _____.[ ]A. collecting photos of the Wall
B. walking along on the Wall
C. diving the underwater Wall
D. visiting some famous lakes 2. What does the underlined word "submerged" in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? [ ]A. Damaged by water.

C. Preserved by water.
D. Covered by water. 3. What is the topic discussed in the last paragraph?[ ]A. Advantages of walking on the Great Wall.
B. Advantages of visiting the underwater Wall.
C. The reasons why the Wall is deep under water.
D. The reasons why the underwater Wall is protected. 4. What can we infer from the text? [ ]A. The underwater Wall will sink deeper year by year.
B. Diving the Wall is popular with divers all over the world.
C. DiVing is a good way to visit the Wall without causing much damage.
D. More and more tourists will come to visit the underwater Wall in China. 题型：未知难度：其他题型

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 The .....”主要考查你对 [历史文化类阅读 ]考点的理解。历史文化类阅读
什么是历史文化类阅读：
本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议，所以要把握其议才是主要方面。阅读这类文章，先弄清其引入的话题，再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法，然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。
历史文化类阅读技巧：
【题型说明】历史文化类阅读理解文章属高考常选材料之一。这类文章常涉及历史、文化、法制、宗教等方面的文学艺术、发明创造、文化遗产保护、宗教与文化、风俗与习惯、道德与法制、中外文学名著节选、等等。这类材料的命题点往往落在主旨大意题、事实细节题上。
【答题方法】在做这类阅读理解题时，我们应注意以下几个方面：
1、采用先题后文：先读题目，再带着问题读文章。这类阅读理解文章相对来说事实细节题稍多一点，如果带着问题读文章，有利于我们抓细节。
2、先做细节题。因为做完了局部性的事实细节题后，自然会加深我们对文章的理解，这样更有利于做主旨大意题。
3、重点敲定主旨题。主旨大意题提问的形式主要有两大类：一类是Main idea型；一类是Topic或Title型。
在解答这类试题时应注意以下几点：
a．读首句抓大意。
文化教育类阅读理解文章多采用说明文、议论文体裁，而这类文章大都采用文章段落的中心，即主题句在文章开头。因此，要寻找这类文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句。
b．读尾句抓大意。
有时这类文章的主题句安排在文章的结尾，作为对全篇的总结。
c．读首段抓大意。
有些文章或段落的开头和结尾部分都有主题句。这种结构是为了突出主题思想而使用两次点题的写作方法。这两个主题句在句子结构和用词上有所不同，而且在内容上前句和后句也不重复。
d．从段落中抓大意。
有些文章或段落的主题句在文章中，这种文章或段落往往以一句话或几句话引出要表达的主题，在主题句出现后，再举例子陈述细节或继续论证。
e．归纳要点抓大意。
有些文章或段落无明显的主题句，只是暗示性地体现主题。这就要求同学们在阅读过程中根据文中所叙述的事实或线索来概括总结主旨大意。
