A great wonder of the natural world
When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east – the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there.
After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. “Am I going the right way ” I asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it.

Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river. I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world-the Grand Canyon.
I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more.

Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon was not just big. It was huge!
I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself, “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world ” I certainly know the answer. What do you think

Warm Tips
The Great Wall is one of the greatest man-made wonders of the world,
I just visited it last month. It was built in the Qin Dynasty and it has a history of more than 2,000 years. It is in the north of China. The wall is over 6,000 kilometers long, 5-8meters wide and 8-10 meters high. It's famous for its length and old history, it is said that it's the only building on the earth we can see in space. It was full of visitors that day, so I could hardly move about to take photos. In my opinion, the Great Wall has become a symbol of the Chinese culture.
Now write a passage. Use the sentences you have written to help you.

A. is B. are C. were
句意：“塞姆和他的父母亲很快要来中国。”
易错点：考虑不周，顾此失彼。
分析：在理解句意的前提下分两步走，首先考虑到not only...but also...连接两个并列主语时，谓语动词应用就近原则。其次还应根据关键词soon判断此题用现在进行时表将来。故正确答案为B。
