Question

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Many years ago, Manhattan Island, 【1】 is a part of the great city of New York, 【2】 (cover) with forest. Along its shores were small Indian villages. In fact, Indians were the only people on the island until 1609. In the spring of that year, Henry Hudson, a famous sea captain, arrived there. He was trying to find a short way to the Far East for Dutch traders. His ship was very small. It was only about the size of one of the 【3】 (lifeboat) you see on modern ocean liners today. Of course, Henry Hudson did not find a 【4】 (short) way to the Far East. Instead he reached the shores of North America. He came to the mouth of the large waterway now 【5】 (call) the Hudson River.

As he came near to the shore, he saw 【6】 Indian village. The Indians seemed 【7】 (friend). They even came out to meet the ship and offered 【8】 furs to the Dutch sailor in exchange for glass beads and 【9】 small things. When Henry Hudson returned to Holland, he showed everyone the fine furs. He told of the rich soil, and the streams filled with fish. Later Dutch traders began to send many ships 【10】 the rich new world across the sea.

【解析】

试题分析：多年前，曼哈顿岛曾是纽约的一部分，岛上被森林覆盖，沿着海岸线都是小的印第安村庄，事实上，1609年之前，印度安人都是岛上唯一的居民。

【1】which 考查定语从句。先行词为Manhattan Island，指物，在定语从句中作主语，并且是非限制性定语从句，所以只能填which引导定语从句。

【2】 was covered 考查动词的时态语态。根据上面的Many years ago,所以用过去时态的被动语态。

【3】 lifeboats 考查名词单复数形式。one of后的名词用复数形式。

【4】 shorter 考查比较级。与上文He was trying to find a short way to the Far East for Dutch traders.“他试图找到一条通往远东的捷径”作对比。

【5】 called 考查非谓语动词。过去分词作定语，表被动，所以用called “被称作”

【6】 an 考查冠词。village是单数可数名词，泛指，加上Indian发音时是元音音素开头，因此填an。

【7】 friendly 考查词性转换。名词变形容词。

【8】 their 考查人称代词的统一性。句中主语是they,空格需要填一个形容词性物主代词来修饰名词furs,所以填their.

【9】 other 考查不定代词。 这里指除了玻璃珠以外其它的东西，所以填other.

【10】 to 考查介词。to指目的地，指到达新世界。
