All summer long I have been dreaming of extravagant uses of water. I do not just mean gallons of water leaking from the pipes of my local water authority. I【C1】______tumbling waterfalls, foaming fountains and rushing streams with no point except to look good. So I have taken the【C2】______and gone to see the most famous water garden in Europe, the Villa d’Este at Tivoli near Rome.
When I told a【C3】______garden designer that I was going to the villa, he looked【C4】______pained and told me that I really should not bother. It was the sort of place, he thought, that was only popular with tours and coaches. I think he was mixing the villa with all those later copies called Tivoli Gardens, which make a much feebler use of water. In fact, the villa gardens are magnificent. They are even more【C5】______than when I last visited because they have been given a new life as part of Italy’s millennium(千禧年)clean-up. In Britain, we got the【C6】______Millennium Dome. In Italy they got clean buildings and garden fountains that really work. At the Villa d’Este, more of them work at one time than I have seen in the past.
Visitors to the Villa d’Este are looking at a garden that is more than 400 years old whose owner【C7】______the rules that would now restrict it. It resulted from the ambitions of a frustrated【C8】______for the papacy(罗马教皇职位)and an untied attitude to the surrounding landscape, ruining anything in its way and taking anything worth stealing in the neighborhood. In short, it would be【C9】______on at least five counts and would be regarded as the biggest scandal of the Catholic Church. Actually it is a world monument that has deserved the【C10】______of millions of visitors since it was completed.
A)defied I)presume
B)extinguished J)frightful
C)plunge K)magnificent
D)distinct L)candidate
E)sued M)wonder
F)mean N)glamour
G)rather O)less
H)distinguished [br] 【C10】
选项
答案
M
解析
此处应填一名词。注意前面句中用的虚拟语气,本句开头用Actually,说明本句是在讲这座建筑实际上获得的评价。根据前文作者对别墅的仰慕,所填词应该是数百万游客对它所怀有的某种积极的感情,选M)wonder(惊叹)。N)glamour(魅力,魔力)不是一种感情,用在这里不合适。
