Question

17．Tristan da Cunha，a 38-square-mile island，is the（61）farthest（far）inhabited island in the world，according to the Guinness Book of Records．It is 1，510 miles southwest of （62）its（it）nearest neighbor，St．Helena，and 1，950 miles west of Africa．Discovered by the Portuguese admiral （葡萄牙海军将）of the same name in 1506，the island belongs to Great Britain and has（63）a population of a few hundred．
Coming in a close second-and often（64）wrongly（wrong）mentioned as the most distant land-is Easter Island，（65）whichlies 1，260 miles east of its nearest neighbor，Pitcaim Island，and 2，300 miles west of South America．
The mountainous 64-square-mile island（66）were settled（settle）around the 5th century，supposedly （据说） by people who were lost at sea．They had no（67）connection（connect）with the outside world for more than a thousand years，giving them plenty of time（68）to build（build）more than 1，000 huge stone figures，（69）called（call）moai，for which the island is most famous．
On Easter Sunday，1722，however，settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name．Today，2，000 people live on the Chilean territory （智利领土）？They share one street，a small airport，（70）and a few hours of television per day．

Answer 1

分析 短文介绍了Tristan da Cunha岛屿的一些情况．

解答 61．farthest 考查形容词最高级．根据句意可知iTristan da Cunha是世界上最远的sland in the world，故使用最高级．
62．its 考查代词．此处是指Tristan da Cunha最近的邻居St．Helena，故使用its．
63．a 考查冠词．此处是固定短语，a population of…的人口．
64．wrongly 考查副词．根据句意可知，修饰动词mention需用副词形式，即wrongly．
65．which 考查连接词．分析句式，此处是一葛非限制性定语从句，缺少主语，先行词是Easter Island，故用which．
66．were settled 考查被动语态．根据句意，mountainous和settle之间是被动关系，故使用被动语态．
67．connection 考查名词，固定短语，have connections with与…有关系．
68．to build 考查动词不定式．此处是固定短语，give sb time to do sth，给某人时间做某事．
69．called 考查非谓语．call和 stone figures之间是被动关系，故使用过去分词．
70．and考查连接词．one street，a small airport和a few hours of television 是并列关系．
