Other canals permit boats to reach cities that are not located on the coast.【C2】______ other canals drain lands where there is too much water, help or【C3】______ fields where there is not enough water.
The【C4】______ of a canal depends on the kind of boats going through it. The canal must be wide enough to permit two of the【C5】______ boats using it to【C6】______ each other easily. It must be deep enough to leave about two feet of water【C7】______ the keel of the largest boat using the canal.
Some canals have sloping sides, while others have sides that are nearly【C8】______ Canals that are cut through rock can have nearly Vertical sides.【C9】______ , canals with earth banks may【C10】______ if the angle of their sides is too steep. Some canals are lined with brick, stone, or concrete to keep the water【C11】______ soaking into the mud. This also permits ships to go at【C12】______ speeds, since they cannot make the banks fall in by【C13】______ up the water. In small canals with mud banks, ships and barges (大平底船) must【C14】______ their speed.
When the canal goes【C15】______ different levels of water, the ships must be【C16】______ or lowered from one level to the other. This is generally done by【C17】______ of locks.

选项
A、raised
B、promoted
C、hoisted
D、alleviated
答案
A
解析
由表示选择的连词or可知所填词与lowered意义相对,lower的反义词是raise,故选A,表示船随着水位的变化而上升或下降。Bpromoted“提升”,常指提升position或rank;Choisted“举起,升高”,一般指借助机械手段提起,不符合此处语境;Dalleviated“缓和,减轻”,不符合句意。
