They are surrounded by the sea, so it is not surprising that the sea has always played an important role in their lives. After the development of large, oceangoing sailing ships in the fifteenth century, the sea became

41、ology.1paypaying考查非谓语动词。根据该句中的介词after可知，该处作介词after的宾语，故用动名词形式。2wherewhich考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，该句为包含非限制性定语从句的复合句；句中“the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution”为先行词，关系词指代先行词且在从句中作主语，故用which引导该定语从句。3aan考查不定冠词。area是发音以元音音素开头的单词，故用不定冠词an。4made后加up考查固定搭配。be made up of为固定搭配，意为“由组成，由构成”
