(town) throughout the colonies (殖民地),and from abroad.答案与解析1.what考查连接词。设空处引导的从句做on的宾语,

31、且在从句中做wasreferredto的主语,表示“什么”,故填what。2.printed考查过去分词做定语的用法。设空处做定语修饰It,又因为print与It之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,且print所表示的动作已完成,故填printed。3.there考查therebe句型。设空处所在句意为:在第一期News-Letter上只有一则广告,故填there。4.reporting考查动词-ing形式做定语的用法。设空处修饰news,又因为news与report之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,且report所表示的动作与主句谓语动作同时发生,故填reporting。5.successful考查形容词做表语的

32、用法。设空处做表语,意为“成功的”,故填successful。6.was taken考查一般过去时的被动语态。由前面的In1722可知,设空处是对过去事实的描述,应用一般过去时,又因为BostonNews-Letter与takeover之间是被动关系,故填wastaken。7.more考查形容词比较级。由后面的thanbefore可知,应用比较级,故填more。8.who考查关系代词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,补充说明JohnDraper,且在从句中做主语,故填who。9.to be考查不定式做宾语的用法。provetobe.意为“证明是”。10.towns考查名词复数。town是可数名词且在此表泛指,故填复数形式towns。
