Question

There they found Tikal(蒂卡爾)，the city that the Mayans (瑪雅A) had built many hundreds of years before. The two men saw temples and pyramids, squares and houses, and places 5.kings had lived when the Mayan people ruled the region.

For a long time before that day, local people had known that somewhere in the jungle there was an old Mayan city, 6.no one had seen it for centuries. 7.200 and 900 AD, the city of Tikal had been the center of Mayan civilization in the region, but then the Mayans left 8.─nobody knows why! After 1000 AD, the jungle began to cover it and people forgot that it was there.

Seven years before Tut looked out for the trees, two British explorers had gone to Guatemala and had written a report about Mayan treasures in the jungle, but they didn't mention Tikal. Even 9.(early)than this, local Indians had told European travelers about a great city 10.(hide) in the trees, but no one would listen to them.

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要講述了一個叫做Ambrosio Tut的橡膠收集者在雨林中發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個古老的瑪雅城市，作者對這座城市做了相關(guān)介紹。。

1. (look) for gum in the jungle這個句子中逗號后面的部分作主語Tut的定語，這個句子意為Tut是一個在雨林中尋找樹膠的樹膠采集者，因Tut和動詞look構(gòu)成主動關(guān)系。故填looking

2. this particular day意為在這特殊的一天里，是具體指某個時間。故填on

3.

4. (walk)into the jungle可知and前后時態(tài)保持一致，前面用的是一般過去式，所以后面也應(yīng)用一般過去式，walk的過去式為walked。故填walked

5. kings had lived when the Mayan people ruled the region這個句子中，kings had...ruled the region places的定語，而先行詞places為地點(diǎn)名詞，所以用表地點(diǎn)的副詞where，一般情況下表地點(diǎn)時，where=介詞+which。故填where / in which

6. no one had seen it for centuries.中空的前后都是完整的句子，故填連詞；前面是這有一個古老的瑪雅城市，后面意為幾個世紀(jì)都沒人發(fā)現(xiàn)它，前后句意相反，所以用轉(zhuǎn)折連詞承接。故填but

7. 200 and 900 AD意為在200公元到900公元之間，between..and..：在..之間。且因空在句首，首字母需大寫。故填Between

8.68 ─nobody knows why!可知Tikal是城市中心但那時人們離開了這兒：沒有人知道原因。left缺少賓語由于前面出現(xiàn)了Tikal這個名詞，所以為了簡介和避免重復(fù)，可用代詞it/there來代替Tikal。故填it / there

9.

10. (hide) in the trees意為當(dāng)?shù)氐挠〉诎踩烁嬖V歐洲的游客樹林里面隱藏著一個很棒的城市， (hide) in the trees作city的定語，city與hide構(gòu)成被動關(guān)系，故用過去分詞作定語，其過去分詞形式為hidden。故填hidden
