試題分析：
小題1:成千上萬 thousands of， thousand不加s是指具體的數目，故選C。
小題2:去某地旅行 travel to，故B錯誤，而句中有Every year，所以用一般現在時，答案選A。
小題3:根據題意：你知不知道為什么他們去那旅行？要表達“為什么”，故選C。
小題4:固定短語 be different from… 與……不一樣，故選A。
小題5:根據這空后面一句話So there aren’t any cars and buses.推測前面應該是沒有馬路和街道，用aren’t, 而否定句中some變成any，故選B。
小題6:根據這空后面一句There is one big canal and 177 small canals.有一個大運河177個小運河，所以是許多，而且運河可數，用many修飾。
小題7:People move   7  and down the canals，and表示并列，后面是down,前面是up, up and down 上上下下，故選B。
小題8:運河上的不可能是A in buses公交車，也不可能是B. in cars小汽車，只可能是C. in boats船，故選C。
小題9:購物 go shopping, 固定搭配 go + doing 從事某項活動。
小題10:這空之前But Venice is sinking. It is going down and the water is going up.意思是威尼斯正在下沉，它正在下降，水正在上升。所以2040年威尼斯可能在水下，用介詞under在……之下。
點評：本篇文章介紹了水城“威尼斯”，每年來自世界各地的游客都會來到意大利這座城市旅行。它很漂亮，但是和其他城市不一樣。它沒有馬路街道，但是有許多運河。人們乘坐運河上的船只出去工作，購物，走親訪友。但是這座城市正在下沉，2040年可能會下沉，被水淹沒。
