解答 61.it 考查人称代词,空格处指代的是前面的California,指代同一个事物应用代词it,故填it.
62.attracted 考查非谓语.主语 it(California)与动词attract之间是主动关系且空前有having,所以用现在分词的完成时,故填attracted.
63.by 考查介词.by means of是固定搭配,意为"通过"符合语境,故填by.
64.when 考查连词.句意:没有人知道第一批人是什么时候到达加利福尼亚的,在宾语从句中作时间状语的连词应用when,故填when.
65.However 考查副词. 句意:然而,美洲土著人很可能在至少1万5000年前就住在加利福尼亚,根据句意和空后的逗号可知应用However,故填However.
66.wasruled 考查时态和语态. 根据时间状语In the 18th century可知是一般过去时,主语California与rule构成被动关系,所以使用一般过去时的被动语态,故填was ruled.
67.the 考查定冠词.因为在世纪年代前面要加定冠词the,故填the.
68.miners 考查名词复数.因为连词and连接并列结构,根据and后的arrivals可知此处应用表人名词复数形式,故填miners.
69.that 考查固定句式.It is believed that…是固定句式,其中it是形式主语,that从句是真正的主语,故填that.
70.racial 考查形容词.因为连词or连接并列结构,根据or后的形容词cultural可知,此处应用race的形容词形式,故填racial.
