50.which本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了丽江市的风土人情，它是游客必去的地方。在云南这个地区，纳西族占人口的绝大多数，在那里你会领略到纳西族人的友好。41.考查名词。句意：在云南这个地区，纳西族占人口的绝大多数。此处用名词形式，故答案为majority。42.考查现在分词。句意：许多游客来到这个地区，因为他们听说过纳西族和其他民族的迷人文化。句子主语和hear之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词做原因状语；又因为非谓语动词先于谓语动词visit发生，故用现在分词的完成式，答案为havingheard。43.考查介词。句意：不可能不去丽江市。此空填for，表示目的。44.考查形容词性物主代词。句意：它有着美丽的白雪覆盖的山峰，还有它那错综复杂的鹅卵石街道。形容词性物主代词修饰名词，故答案为its。45.考查副词。句意：一些游客足够幸运被友好的纳西族人提供住宿。故答案为enough。46.考查名词。句意：所以，如果有人给你提供住宿，在你预订宾馆之前考虑一下。此空应该用名词，故答案为accommodation。

47.考查时间状语从句。句意：所以，如果有人给你提供住宿，在你预订宾馆之前考虑一下。此空填before，引导时间状语从句。48.考查非谓语动词。approachto---，---的方法，此处to是介词，后面用sth.或doing做宾语，故答案为learning。49.考查不定冠词。句意：探索古城是一次好的经历。故答案为a。50.考查非限制性定语从句。句意：只要往下走，你就会发现一些美妙的东西，这将是难忘的。此处something是先行词，后面的非限制性定语从句缺少引导词，缺少主语，故填which。【点睛】to作介词讲时的用法to作介词讲时，后面常用名词、代词宾格和动名词。theapproachto---，---的方法；thekeytosolvingtheproblem解决这个问题的关键；theroadtosuccess通向成功的路；atriptoLondon伦敦的一次旅行；avisittoParispay巴黎的一次访问；payattentionto重视；objectto反对；lookforwardto期盼。三、阅读理解21.ThePanamaCanalopenedalmost100yearsago.Morethanonemillionshipshavepassedthroughwaterwaysince1914.ItconnectstheAtlanticandPacificoceansandreducestravelbyabout13,000kilometersandavoidstheneedforshipstosailaroundCapeHornatthebottomofSouthAmerica.Builtfrom1904to1914,thecanalhasseenannualtrafficrisefromabout1,000shipsearlyonto14,702shipsin2008.Intotal,over815,000shipshavepassedthroughthecanal.Ithasbeennamedoneofthesevenmodernwondersoftheworld.Morethanfortyshipspassthroughthecanaleachday.
