  Soon the rush hour 11 began to notice. What a 12 ! There, 1,350 feet above the street, a 13 figure was walking on air.

  Philippe made seven 14 , back and forth (来回). He wasn't satisfied with just 15 . At times, he would turn, sit down, and 16 go on his knees. Once, he had the astonishing 17 to lie down on the thin thread. And thousands of 18 watchers stared with their hearts beating fast.

  After the forty five minute 19 , Philippe was taken to the police station. He was asked 20 he did it. Philippe shrugged (耸肩) and said, “When I see two tall buildings, I walk.”

解析:

  1.并不是所有人工作都在办公室里进行,所以选jobs

  2.从下文this day was to be different可知,此空应填ordinary

  3.表示转折,从下文可知.

  4.从下文on top of a building110 stories high,考生可推断这一答案.

  5.该短语意思是“在110层高的楼顶”.

  6walk a tightrope是“走绷索”的意思.应注意walk既是及物动词又是不及物动词.

  7.“take one's first step”是惯用法,译为“迈第一步”.

  8.根据上文提到的this daring French…和下文的语境,考生应得出这个结论 “一切准备工作就绪,菲利普确信他可以走绷索了”.

  9with only a balancing pole意思是“只拿一根平衡杆”.withholding

  10a distance of 131 feet意思是“131英尺的距离”.

  11.该句意思是“不久,高峰期的人群开始注意楼顶发生的一切”.

  12.根据下句所述,该题的最佳答案为C.在1350英尺高的楼顶表演绝技,真是奇迹.

  13.从低处往1350英尺的高处看,所看到的东西自然是很小很小的,这是常识.

  14.在绷索上来回走,只能选trip一词.

  15.从下文At times he would turnsit down andon his kmees可知,答案为A

  16.菲利普对在绷索上往返似乎不大满意,时而转身,坐下,甚至跪在绷索上走.

  17.要躺在这根很细的绷索上是需要勇气和胆量的.

  18.此时此景观众肯定是害怕的,且后文有with their hearts beating fast

  19.意思是“四十五分钟的表演过后,菲利普被带到了警察局”.此处show是指“走绷索这种表演”.

  20.该句意思为:当问到他为何要这样做,菲利普耸耸肩答道“我看到两座高楼,我就想走”.
