【解析】

试题分析：

1.成千上万 thousands of， thousand不加s是指具体的数目，故选C。

2.去某地旅行 travel to，故B错误，而句中有Every year，所以用一般现在时，答案选A。

3.根据题意：你知不知道为什么他们去那旅行？要表达“为什么”，故选C。

4.固定短语 be different from… 与……不一样，故选A。

5.根据这空后面一句话So there aren’t any cars and buses.推测前面应该是没有马路和街道，用aren’t, 而否定句中some变成any，故选B。

6.根据这空后面一句There is one big canal and 177 small canals.有一个大运河177个小运河，所以是许多，而且运河可数，用many修饰。

7.People move   7  and down the canals，and表示并列，后面是down,前面是up, up and down 上上下下，故选B。

8.运河上的不可能是A in buses公交车，也不可能是B. in cars小汽车，只可能是C. in boats船，故选C。

9.购物 go shopping, 固定搭配 go + doing 从事某项活动。

10.这空之前But Venice is sinking. It is going down and the water is going up.意思是威尼斯正在下沉，它正在下降，水正在上升。所以2040年威尼斯可能在水下，用介词under在……之下。

考点：固定短语的运用，选用正确的介词一直是考点。5、6、7要根据文章前后内容选择答案。
