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 Islands1 in 1179.
“There is 3 Cook2 in the Australian Museum,” museum collection manager Jude Philip said not long ago in announcing the DNA evidence that the arrow was not made of Cook’s bone. But that will not stop the museum from continuing to display the arrow in its 4 , “Uncovered: Treasures of the Australian Museum,3” which 5 include a feather cape presented to Cook by Hawaiian King Kalani’opu’u in 1778.
Cook was one of Britain’s great explorers and is credited with 6 the “Great South Land,” 7 Australia, in 1770. He was clubbed to death in the Sandwich Islands, now Hawaii.
The legend of Cook’s arrow began in 1824 8 Hawaiian King Kamehamcha on his deathbed gave the arrow to William Adams, a London surgeon and relative of Cook’s wife, saying it was made of Cook’s 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 Cook’s bone but was more 11 made of animal bone, said Philp.
However, Cook’s 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 Cook’s body was 13 at sea in 1779. “On this occasion technology has won,4” 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.”

答案與題解：
1. A第一段說(shuō) DNA鑒定的結(jié)論中止了流傳二百年有關(guān)箭是用 Cook船長(zhǎng)骨頭制成的傳說(shuō)。根據(jù)這一層意思，選 finally是合適的。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的詞義都對(duì)不上號(hào)。
2. B Cook之后的從句是定語(yǔ)從句，替代 Cook的關(guān)系代詞應(yīng)該是 who。Whose也可替代 Cook，但是 whose是所有格，而定語(yǔ)從句中的關(guān)系代詞用作主語(yǔ)，所以只能選 who。
3. D本段和其他有關(guān)段落都說(shuō)到，澳大利亞博物館沒(méi)有用 Cook船長(zhǎng)骨頭制成的箭，所以本題只能選 no，不能選 some。None之后不能直接跟名詞。 Neither一般與 nor成對(duì)連用。
4. B博物館中不會(huì)把珍藏的 arrow陳列在 shop，market或 cinema，所以 exhibition是答案。
5. D does用在動(dòng)向前表示強(qiáng)調(diào) , does include的意思是“確實(shí)包括”。用 did不妥，因?yàn)橹骶涞闹^語(yǔ)用的是一般將來(lái)時(shí) will not stop。 has to或 must也不妥，因?yàn)樯舷挛牡囊馑疾](méi)有要求用“必須” (must)或“不得不” (has to)。
6. A be credited with的意思是“把……歸功于”，再聯(lián)系到前面兩次提到 Cook是偉大的 explorer，選項(xiàng) A的 discovering是放恰當(dāng)?shù)倪x擇。 Visiting，travelling和 using與 be credited with所表達(dá)的意思都搭不上。
7. B 從上下文判斷， Cook發(fā)現(xiàn)的是當(dāng)時(shí)稱為 Great South Land，現(xiàn)在稱為 Australia的那塊大陸。 now是答案。注意，下句中桑偉奇群島，現(xiàn)稱夏威夷群島，也用 now。then(當(dāng)時(shí))、past(過(guò)去的)或 previously(以前)意思與上下文表達(dá)的意思連接不上。
8. C 1824之后的定語(yǔ)從句是修飾表達(dá)時(shí)間概念 1824的，所以連接詞要用關(guān)系副詞 when。
9. B第三段提到 Cook是給亂棍打死的 (He was clubbed to death …)，所以選擇 fight是很自然的。
10. B第五段主要的意思是“有關(guān)……的傳說(shuō)繼續(xù)到……為止”，所以合適的選擇是 until。
11. C本段表明 DNA鑒定的結(jié)論是：這支箭不是用 Cook的骨頭制成的，接下去的意思是，這支箭很可能是用動(dòng)物的骨頭制成的。而 more likely是“很可能”的意思。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的詞義與本句表達(dá)的意思不匹配。
12. A 從上下文判斷，只有選 refuse才符合原意。從語(yǔ)法上判斷， refuse后面可接動(dòng)詞不定式。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的同義與句子表達(dá)的意思不符。
13. D was buried at sea是“葬身海中”的意思。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的詞義與句子表達(dá)的意思不符。
14. A 本題從語(yǔ)義上只能選 statement(聲明)。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)，即 suggestion(建議)、proposal(提議)與 guess (猜測(cè))表達(dá)的意思與語(yǔ)境不符。
15. C本題要選 sure，表示 Cliff Thornton對(duì) sure后面的 that從句表達(dá)的將要發(fā)生的事有信心，而 safe，weak或 lucky的詞義與句子表達(dá)的意思不符。
