13、gedD.white-haired 答案A解析由第三段第一句话中的“The dark-skinned Maoris were .”可以推出答案为dark-skinned。4A.whichB.theyC.whoD.whom 答案C解析因为定语从句的先行词the Maoris指的是人,所以可以排除A项;而they不能引导定语从句;whom在定语从句中不能做主语。由此得出答案为who。5A.MaoriB.BritishC.EuropeanD.New Zealand 答案B解析由上文可知是英国航海家到的新西兰,所以答案为British。意思是“英国政府一开始并没有对这些遥远的岛屿感兴趣”。6A.rew
14、ardedB.awardedC.calledD.made 答案D解析make在句中的意思是“使成为”,make New Zealand a British colony的意思是“使新西兰成为英国殖民地”。reward “报答”;award “授予”;call “打电话,称呼”。7A.ruleB.resultC.wholeD.ruler 答案B解析as a rule的意思是“通常”;as a result的意思是“结果”;as a whole的意思是“总体上”;as a ruler的意思是“作为一名统治者”。根据句意,应为as a result。8A.cruelB.friendlyC.dange
15、rousD.unknown 答案B解析本句考查上下文之间的联系。由下文的but转折可知,本题的意思应是“深色皮肤的毛利人对于第一批移民非常友好”,即答案为friendly。cruel “残忍的”;dangerous “危险的”;unknown “不为人所知的”。9A.theirB.itsC.theD.a答案A解析因为此处是指移民想要夺取毛利人的土地,所以代词应用their。10A.amongB.ofC.inD.between 答案D解析among侧重指“在三者或三者以上之间”,而between 侧重指“在两者之间”。本句话是指战争在移民和毛利人之间进行,因此答案为between。11A.set
16、tlersB.personsC.peoplesD.nations 答案C解析由最后一段第二句“.in recent years,the two peoples have lived .”可知毛利人和移民是两个民族。12A.killedB.diedC.protectedD.wounded 答案A解析下文提到许多人死于疾病,因此本句应指“许多人死于战争”,表示在战争中或事故中死亡往往用be killed的句式。die“死”,不用于被动结构;protect “保护”;wound “使受伤”。13A.broughtB.givenC.takenD.caused 答案A解析新疾病应是被英国人带来的(bri
17、ng),所以答案为brought。give “给”;take “带走”;cause “造成”。14A.increasedB.fallenC.improvedD.developed 答案B解析因为上文提到许多毛利人死于战争和疾病,所以他们的人数应是下降(fall)到42,000人。15A.afterB.downC.forD.forward 答案B解析look after的意思是“照顾”;look down upon的意思是“看不起”;look for的意思是“寻找”;look forward是“向前看”。本句表示“英国移民”的新西兰人看不起毛利人。16A.ButB.UntilC.SoD.Ther
