问题     Asked to name their favorite city, many Americans would select San Francisco. San Francisco began as a【S1】______Spanish outpost located on a magnificent bay. The town was little more than a village serving ranchers when the United States took【S2】______of it in 1846 during the war with Mexico.
    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.

[A] deserted         [F] sprang          [K] steep
[B] popularity       [G] pollution       [L] state
[C] shrank           [H] dangerous       [M] hopefully
[D] small            [I] seized          [N] flat
[E] possession       [J] equally         [O] great
【S5】
选项
答案H
解析 空格处应填入形容词修饰way，句中“plodded”说明行进过程的缓慢和艰难，这就是“across 2， 000 miles of prairie and mountains”的过程应该不是一帆风顺，而是带有危险性的，这可以从后半句中提到的“hazardous trip”看出路程的危险，选项中dangerous符合题意。
