小题1: C

解析 此处表示最早已知的定居者,因此选known。

小题2: D

解析 此题考查词义辨析。across指“横跨”;through指“(从……内部)穿过……”;into指“进入,到……里”;on指“在……上”。穿越白令海峡应该用across。

小题3: C

解析 用ago表示纯粹的过去。句意为:据说10 000年前印第安人由东亚穿越白令海峡和大海来到此地。

小题4: A

解析 此处选A项表示“到达此地”,reach为及物动词。根据上文可知,印第安人是首先来到加拿大的人,而此处提到的是欧洲人,B项不符合语境;由前文及常识可知,欧洲人来到加拿大时,还没有飞机,故C项错误;ship作动词时表示“用船运,运送”之意,不符合语境。

小题5: B

解析 此处covered by(覆盖着……)为过去分词短语作areas的定语。

小题6: D

解析 only a few只有一些。要注意:尽管此词组表示的数量不多,但不能用only few。

小题7: C

解析 本句主语为people,所以谓语要求用复数形式。全文时态为过去时,故选C项。

小题8: A

解析 此处cross为动词,意思是“跨过,穿过”。爱斯基摩人从亚洲到加拿大中途要穿越白令海峡。

小题9: B

解析 此处record意思是“记录”。句意为:几乎没有他们早期活动的记录。

小题10: C

解析 根据下文可以看出是法国人。

小题11: D

解析 此题考查词组“in great numbers”,表示“大量地”。

小题12: D

解析 此处where引导一个非限制性定语从句,在句中作状语。

小题13: A

解析 by the time of...意思是“到……时候为止”。后接表示过去的时间时,句子用过去完成时。

小题14: B

解析 此处为现在分词短语作定语,意思是“生活在……”。

小题15: C

解析 此处的until与not搭配,意思是“直到……才……”。

小题16: B

解析 表示不确定的数量,这四个选项中唯一正确的为B项,其他均不对。

小题17: D

解析 此处“from...”表示“来自……”,指他们的祖籍。由本段第一句可知此处介绍加拿大的移民中英国人所占的比例。

小题18: A

解析 考查词组构成。make up的意思是“组成……”。其他几个介词和make连用时,通常用被动形式。

小题19: C

解析 the turn of the century意思是“世纪之交”。
