1.1.

A across

B over

C through

D on

解析：选A。A 考查移动方向介词。句子描述他站在板上横穿灌满水的稻田。across表示贴着表面从一侧横穿到另一侧；over多指从物体上方凌空越过，不接触水面；through表示从物体内部穿行；on仅表示静态 “在……之上”，缺少移动含义。语境强调横穿水面的移动过程，故选A。

2.2.

A If

B Since

C Unless

D Before

解析：选B。B 考查连词辨析。句意：由于没有船只，岸上的机器牵引他划过水面。since引导原因状语从句，意为“由于，因为”；if表条件，如果；unless意为除非；before表时间，在……之前。前后是因果逻辑，故选B。

3.3.

A deep

B long

C high

D wide

解析：选A。A 考查形容词辨析。描述水体深浅使用固定表达：数字+centimeters deep（……厘米深）。long指长度，high指高度，wide指宽度，均不能用来衡量水深，故选A。

4.4.

A game

B job

C test

D turn

解析：选D。D 考查名词词义辨析。前文提到高高跳起，后文描述落到梯田里，空中需要完成特技动作。turn在此处可表示空中转体动作；game、job、test均不符合滑水腾空特技语境。结合四个选项，turn是唯一合适答案。故选D。

5.5.

A forgot

B stopped

C started

D refused

解析：选C。C 考查动词词义辨析。句意：这个创意始于2021年，当时金被邀请拍摄视频。start表示开始、起源；stop停止，forget忘记，refuse拒绝，均与后文这项运动持续开展的内容相悖，故选C。

6.6.

A all

B many

C some

D few

解析：选B。B 考查限定词辨析。句意：他想证明这项运动能在许多地方开展，不局限于湖泊与大海。all全部，表述过于绝对；few很少，和文意相反；some指 “某些”，语气偏弱，无法体现运动适用范围广阔；many表示许多，强调场地选择多样，贴合句意，故选B。

7.7.

A covered

B painted

C treated

D watched

解析：选A。A 考查动词辨析与固定搭配。be covered with为固定搭配，表示“被……覆盖”。每年春天梯田被山泉水覆盖。paint涂色，treat处理，watch观看，均无法和山泉水构成合理搭配，故选A。

8.8.

A dangerous

B rough

C dirty

D smooth

解析：选D。D 考查形容词辨析。后文提到水面很适合滑行，由此推断水面光滑。smooth光滑的；rough粗糙的，dirty肮脏的，dangerous危险的，都不利于滑行，语义冲突，故选D。

9.9.

A His

B My

C Your

D Our

解析：选B。B 考查物主代词。这句话是人物直接引语，是Jin本人讲述自己最喜欢的景象，说话人自称要用my（我的）。his他的用于间接转述；your你的；our我们的，均不符合直接引语语境，故选B。

10.10.

A covering

B comparing

C combining

D competing

解析：选C。C 考查动词辨析与固定搭配。combine A with B意为“把A和B相结合”，句中动名词 combining在宾语从句内充当主语。文章主旨是将传统梯田自然风光和新式水上运动融合。compare比较，cover覆盖，compete竞争，语义和文章主题不符，故选C。
