The Great Wall of China is one of Beijing’s biggest

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.

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.”

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.                B．Washed 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?

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.

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 legendary fortification began. But there’s a good reason for this – it’s underwater.

Niagara Falls

The Niagara Falls consist of three sections. The large Canadian falls—with their distinctive curved shape—are also known as the Horseshoe Falls. They are separated by Goat Island from the American Falls, which are separated from the narrow Bridal Veil Falls by a small island at their south end. Each side of the falls offers a different perspective, and it is always best to visit both sides to maximize your experience.

Views of Niagara Falls are free and accessible. Access to the riverside walks and parks offer great views. You can walk across to Goat Island on the bridge on foot.

Cave of the Winds, ☎ +1 716 278-1730. Daily 9 AM-7:30 PM from Spring 2016. A lift takes you 175 feet down to a walkway that leads you right to the bottom of the Bridal Veil Falls. You will definitely get a feel for the true power of the falls! This is the closest you can get to the falls on either side without actually leaping into them! Raincoats and slippers are provided, and you will definitely need them. Adults: $12; 6-12 year: $8; younger children: Free, but must be 42 inches or taller.

Maid of the Mist. A boat ride, taking you down around the bottom of the falls. Some information is given about the falls, but the real experience is looking up at the falls from below and feeling the mist coming off the falls (hence the name). Wear a raincoat to avoid getting wet. Boats leave from both the American and Canadian sides, so you may want to check the exchange rates to see which will be more cost-effective when you visit! April-October.

The Niagara Gorge Discovery Center. Although it’s easy to enjoy the falls visually, the Discovery Center provides another way to appreciate the magnificence of the falls. Exhibits show the history of the entire area, including the falls, how they were originally formed, and how they've changed over time.

Aquarium of Niagara, 701 Whirlpool St, toll-free: +1 800-500-4609. 9AM-5PM. The aquarium at Niagara Falls. $10.

Niagara Scenic Trolley. Use this to get around the park more quickly if needed. $2 adults/$1 children for the entire day. Hop on and off.

You can combine all these attractions with a Niagara USA Discovery pass for $35, which you can purchase at the attractions.

Must stay a night and see the night view of the Niagara Falls. It is equally beautiful.

During the winter season, a lot of repair work of the falls, tours, and surroundings takes place. Many areas, such as Terrapin Point and Luna Island, are closed due to slippery conditions. Winter brings a different kind of beauty to the falls and a visit during that time is certainly worthwhile, but if you want to experience the full range, plan to come in the warmer months.

A. $ 12.            B. $ 24.            C. $ 32.            D. $ 35.
