【C3】
选项 A、waterways
B、waterfronts
C、channels
D、paths
答案A
解析 词义辨析题，waterway意为“水道”，waterfront意为“城市的滨水区”，channel意为“海峡”，paths意为“小路”，结合上下文可知，运河其实就是水道，所以A正确，考点 waterway多指“水路，排水沟”，还泛指一切“航道或可航行之水体”，waterfront意为“靠水边的地”尤指船只停靠的码头区，channel除了指“海峡”以外，还可指“引导，指导，使经过某种路线行动或引导”，如：The teacher channels her curiosity into research．老师将她的好奇心引到了研究上去
