The Great Wall of China is one of Beijing’s biggest draws for tourists; despite its fame and ubiquity in 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 legendaryfortification began. But there’s a good reason for this – it’s underwater.
American journalist Steven Schwankert has been diving since age 10. It was though his setting – up of a diving school that Schwankert came to explore some of lesser – known areas of China’s lakes – 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 hour’s 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.”

(答案→)C 解析:文章通过讲述美国记者Steven Schwankert在潘家口水下长城潜水的例子,说明了的潜水游长城的优势和意义。【小题1】从第四段The most fascinating piece of diving I ever did in China must be the Great Wall可知Steven Schwankert最感兴趣的是水下长城潜水。【小题2】与最后一段倒数第三行中。。。visible above the surface相对应,可以推断出submerged是“被水覆盖”的意思,故选择答案D。【小题3】从最后一段第一句There are, however, advantages of visiting the Great Wall in a diving suit over being on foot可得知答案为B。【小题4】根据文章最后一段第一句及第二句The water acts as a preservative by preventing the kind of mass tourism that has brought trouble on other parts of the Wall可得知水下长城潜水拥有更好的优势,是游览长城的一种很好的方式,因为水下游长城可以避免对长城的破坏。故选C。
