【解析】

本短文是一篇城市介绍，介绍了宾夕法尼亚州地理、历史、经济、文化等。

【1】句意：它是美国北部的一个州。在句中缺少形容词本题中缺少形容词 “北方的”，north变为northern，修饰state。故答案为：northern。

【2】句意：美国第三十三大州。用形容词的最高级形式。large的最高级为largest。故填：largest。

【3】句意：在欧洲人到来之前，有几个印第安部落住在宾夕法尼亚。表示“欧洲人”用European，又结合句意，用复数形式，所以填写Europeans。

【4】句意：紧随其后的是瑞典。前面的句子Dutch came first,是过去时态，因此该空也用过去时；follow的过去式为followed。故答案为：followed。

【5】句意：经过几次战斗，他们控制了这块土地。由于讲述的是历史，发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时态，动词用过去式，即took。

【6】句意：宾夕法尼亚后来被授予Penn家族。主谓语存在被动关系，时间状语提示用一般过去时态，故用一般过去时态的被动语态形式。所以答案为：was given。

【7】句意：宾夕法尼亚是第二个加入该国的国家。表示“第二个”用序数词second。故答案为：second/2nd。

【8】句意：自殖民地成立以来，费城一直是一个重要的城市。“since the colony was founded.”知，此处用现在完成时态，主语是费城，所以填写has been。

【9】句意：也有赫尔希，这是众所周知的巧克力公司。短语be known as意为“被认为是，以…著称”。故答案为：known。

【10】句意：在宾夕法尼亚有很多事情要做。动词不定式表示目的。故答案为：to do。

【11】句意：它们都有免费的入口。 结合句子，此处应该填写名词表示“入口”，故填写entry/entrance。

【12】句意：你在考虑访问这个州吗？介词后加动名词形式，即填写visiting。所以答案为：visiting。
