San Francisco【S3】______into a city overnight because of the nearby discovery of gold in 1848. A【S4】______rush to California took place. Wagon trains plodded their【S5】______way across 2,000 miles of prairie and mountains, while hundreds of sailing vessels made the【S6】______hazardous trip around the Horn. The vessels disgorged thousands of passengers then the crews【S7】______their ships and hundreds of vessels were left to rot in the Bay. Within two years, California had enough population to become a【S8】______and San Francisco was for many years the hub of that newly-arrived population.
The city’s present【S9】______is due to an excellent climate, an easy style of living, good food, and numerous tourist attractions. The city is famous for its cable cars which "clang and bang" up the【S10】______hills, and for its excellent seafood stalls along the wharf. Most visitors arriving from nations in the Pacific Basin spend several days getting to know the town.

选项
答案
E
解析
根据句子结构,空格处应填入名词,与take...of构成动词短语作谓语,选项中只有possession符合题意,take possession of表示“占领,占有”。该句表明在与墨西哥的战争中,美国占领了旧金山,这也正与历史相符,因此确定答案为E)。
