No one had ever believed him, that one summer evening he had wandered on to the docks, under the legs of the biggest crane, and climbed the steel ladder, up, up, and up into the swaying heights of the counterweights and control house.
The view over the city had been inspiring—the smoking derelict docklands, with miles of kingfisher—walled warehouses: the sun-tinted towers of distant churches: the cars, like insects, creeping one after the other along the expressway. Clinging【C1】______the drifting girders, he felt like the most successful man in the【C2】w______.
He crawled, monkey-fashion, along the steel lacework of the jib until he crouched, hundreds of feet up, above the wrinkling khaki river. A flock of sunstruck pigeons whirled in harmony around the control house roof.
It was so perfect that he knew he could do it. He stood up, balancing against the breeze, feeling on【C3】______ of the world. Slowly he raised his hands above his head, 【C4】c______ glance upwards into the icy sky, then, just before he lost his balance, he chose to rise on tiptoe and launch himself into a taut dive. He tipped off the jib and began to tilt through the sunset.
The sound which came from him was an involuntary shriek of pure joy—he cared neither if he lived【C5】______if he died. His body, pointed like a shuttle, wove a slow circle through the air, hurtling ever downwards to the peaky grey surface. By chance, his dive had him angled perfectly to enter the water with a splashless "glup" at some dangerously high velocity.
The shock of the water stopping his flight, and of the vicious cold,【C6】______(prevent) him from realizing immediately that he was still alive. His clothing dragged in the dark water and he started to fight his way upward to the dull light above. Disbelieving and【C7】______(stun), he gasped as he broke the surface, returning to an almost unchanged peachy evening.
The impetus of his dive still with him, he floundered in his shoes and jacket to the nearest quayside ladder and clambered up the vertical green wall. Once on the quay, he squeezed the edges of his jacket and emptied his shoes. He looked up to the monstrous structure towering above him and【C8】______(scarce)believed that he’d actually dived from yon threadlike piece of latticework. Yet he was certainly soaking and he remembered the exhilaration of his descent. He looked【C9】a______to see if there had been any witnesses to his dive. The docks remained silent and deserted as rust-coloured sunlight flooded the area.
Consequently, when he told anyone he’d dived off the biggest of the dockland cranes into the Clyde, and just for【C10】f______, no one believed him.
【C7】
选项
答案
stunned
解析
(此处与disbelieving并列作状语,stun“使震惊;使目瞪口呆”与主语he之间为被动关系,因此该空填stunned。)
