50.which本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了麗江市的風土人情，它是游客必去的地方。在云南這個地區，納西族占人口的絕大多數，在那里你會領略到納西族人的友好。41.考查名詞。句意：在云南這個地區，納西族占人口的絕大多數。此處用名詞形式，故答案為majority。42.考查現在分詞。句意：許多游客來到這個地區，因為他們聽說過納西族和其他民族的迷人文化。句子主語和hear之間是主動關系，所以用現在分詞做原因狀語；又因為非謂語動詞先于謂語動詞visit發生，故用現在分詞的完成式，答案為havingheard。43.考查介詞。句意：不可能不去麗江市。此空填for，表示目的。44.考查形容詞性物主代詞。句意：它有著美麗的白雪覆蓋的山峰，還有它那錯綜復雜的鵝卵石街道。形容詞性物主代詞修飾名詞，故答案為its。45.考查副詞。句意：一些游客足夠幸運被友好的納西族人提供住宿。故答案為enough。46.考查名詞。句意：所以，如果有人給你提供住宿，在你預訂賓館之前考慮一下。此空應該用名詞，故答案為accommodation。

47.考查時間狀語從句。句意：所以，如果有人給你提供住宿，在你預訂賓館之前考慮一下。此空填before，引導時間狀語從句。48.考查非謂語動詞。approachto---，---的方法，此處to是介詞，后面用sth.或doing做賓語，故答案為learning。49.考查不定冠詞。句意：探索古城是一次好的經歷。故答案為a。50.考查非限制性定語從句。句意：只要往下走，你就會發現一些美妙的東西，這將是難忘的。此處something是先行詞，后面的非限制性定語從句缺少引導詞，缺少主語，故填which。【點睛】to作介詞講時的用法to作介詞講時，后面常用名詞、代詞賓格和動名詞。theapproachto---，---的方法；thekeytosolvingtheproblem解決這個問題的關鍵；theroadtosuccess通向成功的路；atriptoLondon倫敦的一次旅行；avisittoParispay巴黎的一次訪問；payattentionto重視；objectto反對；lookforwardto期盼。三、閱讀理解21.ThePanamaCanalopenedalmost100yearsago.Morethanonemillionshipshavepassedthroughwaterwaysince1914.ItconnectstheAtlanticandPacificoceansandreducestravelbyabout13,000kilometersandavoidstheneedforshipstosailaroundCapeHornatthebottomofSouthAmerica.Builtfrom1904to1914,thecanalhasseenannualtrafficrisefromabout1,000shipsearlyonto14,702shipsin2008.Intotal,over815,000shipshavepassedthroughthecanal.Ithasbeennamedoneofthesevenmodernwondersoftheworld.Morethanfortyshipspassthroughthecanaleachday.
