Captain Cook Arrow Legend
It was a great legend while it lasted, but DNA testing has (1)ended a two-century-old story of the Hawaiian arrow carved from the bone of British explorer Captain James Cook (2)died in the Sandwich Islands in 1779.
“There is (3)Cook in the Australian Museum,” museum collection manager Jude Philips said not long ago in announcing the DNA evidence that the arrow was not made of Cooks bone. But that will not stop the museum from continuing to display the arrow in its (4), “Uncovered: Treasures of the Australian Museum,” (5)include a feather cape presented to Cook by Hawaiian King Kalaniopuu in 1778.
Cook was one of Britains great explorers and is credited with (6)the “Great Southland,” (7)Australia, in 1770. He was clubbed to death in the Sandwich Islands, now Hawaii.
The legend of Cooks arrow began in 1824 (8)Hawaiian King Kamehameha on his deathbed gave the arrow to William Adams, a London surgeon and relative of Cooks wife, saying it was made of Cooks bone after the fatal (9)with islanders.
In the 1890s the arrow was given to the Australian Museum and the legend continued (10)it came face-to-face with science.
DNA testing by laboratories in Australia and New Zealand revealed the arrow was not made of Cooks bone but was more (11)made of animal bone, said Philips.
However, Cooks fans (12)to give up hope that one Cook legend will prove true and that part of his remains will still be uncovered, as they say there is evidence not all of Cooks body was (13)at sea in 1779. “On this occasion technology has won,” said Cliff Thornton, president of the Captain Cook Society, in a (14)from Britain. “But I am (15)that one of these days one of the Cook legends will prove to be true and it will happen one day.”
答案:a(finally)
解析:第一段说 DNA 鉴定的结论中止了流传二百年有关箭是用 Cook 船长骨头制成的传奇。Finally 表示 “最终”,符合句意。其他三个选项的词义都不合适。
答案:b(who)
解析:Cook 之后的从句是定语从句,替代 Cook 的关系代词应当是 who,在从句中作主语。Whose 是所有格,而定语从句中的关系代词用作主语,所以只能选 who。
答案:d(no)
解析:根据上下文,澳大利亚博物馆没有用 Cook 船长骨头制成的箭,所以本题只能选 no。None 之后不能直接跟名词;neither 一般与 nor 成对连用。
答案:b(exhibition)
解析:博物馆中不会把珍贵的 “arrow” 陈列在 shop(商店)、market(市场)或 cinema(电影院),exhibition(展览)是最合适的答案。
答案:d(does)
解析:does 用在动词前表示强调,does include 的意思是 “的确包括”。用 did 不妥,因为主句的谓语用的是一般将来时 will not stop;must(必须)或 have to(不得不)也不符合上下文的意思。
答案:a(discovering)
解析:be credited with 的意思是 “把…… 归功于”,联系到前面提到 Cook 是伟大的 explorer,discovering(发现)是最恰当的选择。Visiting(访问)、travelling(旅行)和 using(使用)与 be credited with 所表达的意思都不搭配。
答案:b(now)
解析:从上下文推断,Cook 发现的是当时称为 Great Southland,现在称为 Australia 的那块大陆。now 表示 “现在”,即现在被称为澳大利亚。Then(当时)、past(过去的)或 previously(以前)意思与上下文表达的意思不连贯。
答案:c(when)
解析:1824 之后的定语从句是修饰表示时间概念的 1824 的,所以连接词要用关系副词 when。
答案:b(fight)
解析:第三段提到 Cook 是被乱棍打死的(he was clubbed to death),所以选择 fight(战斗、打架)是很自然的。
答案:b(until)
解析:第五段主要的意思是 “有关的传奇继续到…… 为止”,所以合适的选择是 until(直到……)。
答案:c(likely)
解析:DNA 鉴定的结论是这支箭不是用 Cook 的骨头制成的,接下去的意思是这支箭很可能是用动物的骨头制成的。more likely 是 “很可能” 的意思。
答案:a(refuse)
解析:然而,Cook 的粉丝们拒绝放弃希望,即希望有一个关于 Cook 的传奇被证明是真实的。refuse to do sth. 表示 “拒绝做某事”。
答案:d(buried)
解析:他们说有证据表明 Cook 的尸体并不是所有部分都在 1779 年被埋葬在海里。buried 表示 “埋葬”,符合语境。
答案:a(statement)
解析:来自英国的 Captain Cook Society 的主席 Cliff Thornton 发表了一份声明(statement)。
答案:c(sure)
解析:但我确信(sure)总有一天,关于 Cook 的一个传奇将会被证明是真实的,而且这一天将会到来。
