When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then【C2】______to publish it. The article began: "Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which【C3】______the president’s palace". The editor at once sent the journalist a fax【C4】______him find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.
    The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but they took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting【C5】______, for the magazine would soon go to press.

However, he had at last been allowed to send a fax in which he【C9】______the editor that the he had been arrested while【C10】______the 1,084 steps leading to the fifteen-foot wall which surrounded the president’ s palace.
A)provide B)optimistic C)counting D)reply
E)refused F)surrounds G)impatient H)understanding
I)instructing J)originally K)indifferent L)arrested
M)sensitive N)informed O)estimates
【C3】
选项
答案F
解析 这里填动词，为台阶和宫殿的关系，又根据空处所在句是which引导的修饰先行词wall的定语从句，且空处在从句中作谓语，整个句子为一般现在时，wall为单数，所以此空应填入动词的三单形式。故选surrounds，意为“围绕宫殿的台阶”。
