【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。记叙了美国墨西哥州的历史由来。

1考查连词。句意:专家们认为,在最后一个冰河时代,他们从现在的俄罗斯跨越一座大陆桥——白令海峡迁徙过来。本句为宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,并代指地方。故填what

2考查非谓语动词。句意同上。call bridge在逻辑上构成了动宾关系,因此用过去分词形式来充当后置定语。故填called

3考查副词。句意:数千年后,包括阿帕奇族、祖尼族、纳瓦霍族和普韦布洛族在内的美洲土著部落居住在这片土地上。late作副词用时,意为,最近”, later作副词用时,意为后来,以后。根据上下文,可知用 later表示以后符合文义。故填later

4考查名词。句意:1540年,西班牙探险家弗朗西斯科·巴斯克斯·德·科罗纳多(Francisco Vazquez de Coronado)来到这里,寻找传说中存在于美洲的黄金城市。Francisco Vazquez de Coronado是个人名,充当前词的同位语。故可知设空处应该填名词explorer符合要求。

5考查定语从句。句意同上。本句为定语从句修饰先行词gold,且在从句中做主语,指物故用that which引导。

6考查介词。句意:1821年,墨西哥宣布脱离西班牙独立,该地区成为墨西哥的一部分。固定短语independence from“独立自主;独立”。故填from

7考查动词时态语态。句意:1912年,它被宣布为美国第47个州。declare后面可以跟双宾语连用,句意为1912,新墨西哥州被宣布成为美国的第47个州”,由此可知此处应该用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was declared

8考查形容词。句意:当西班牙人开始探索这一地区时,他们希望能找到和他们早些时候在墨西哥发现的一样有价值的土地。固定结构“as+形容词原形+as”表示“和……一样”,故填value的形容词形式valuable

9考查动词时态。句意:所以他们把这个地区命名为新墨西哥。本句是在回顾新墨西哥州州名的由来,所以谓语动词用一般过去时。故填named

10考查名词的数。句意:从高山到森林和沙漠,这个州有着美丽的风景。mountain是可数名词,再根据后文的“ forests and deserts”可知应用复数形式mountains

名词性从句关键在于三点:一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句。二、连接词从句中充当的成分(主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分)三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意,近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。如第一小题,本句为宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,并代指“地方”。故填what
