问题     While the cities of China have undergone modernization evident in the
rising towers and bright light that have awakened the sleeping country, the 1.______
countryside maintains largely the same. 2.______
    Rectangular rows of rice fields litter the landscape separated by long
lanes of water designed to provide the continuous supply of water that is 3.______
vital to producing the crop. The experience is unlike driving through the 4.______
American Midwest, only rice not corn dominates the landscape.
    Four years ago, when I last took this trip, the roads were dust and
telephone wires did not run parallel against the highway. Bare roads have 5.______
been replaced by sleek, newly paved highways running from Shanghai
to Nanking, to my smaller, home city, Wuhu. Unlike 1 had heard 6.______
and expected in Shanghai, Wuhu was much more a surprise. The 7.______
small city where I was born had grown up as I have. There are large high-
rise buildings, each ringing with smaller buildings around it, many of 8.______
these apartment complexes. Little seemed familiar and I wonder what my
grandparent’s flat built of brick and mortar had become.
    Perhaps I couldn’t have been surprised to find out that their home had been 9.______
demolished and rebuilt as a six story apartment complex as well. Walking up
to the second floor I saw my grandfather’s face peering out of the screen door,
He began to smile as he saw me, and so did I. Their home is now no different
from a western apartment. Equipped with the modern amenities of a gas stove,
a toilet, and a shower was indeed different from four years ago. 10.______

选项

答案maintains——remains

解析 本题为动词误用。两词都有“保持”的含义,但maintain更强调保持(建筑物、机器等的)良好状态,而remain侧重“保持原来的状态”,这里用remain比较合适。
