Today we take for granted that the mail will
be delivered daily at our door. But many years ago
it might have been placed in a tree trunk and 【M1】 ______
underneath a rock. In the early days of the mail no
one could be sure about where or when it will arrive 【M2】 ______
At the southern tip of Africa there was once a
post office under a rock. At the old days the route 【M3】 ______
from England to India was around the Cape of
Good Hope. The journey was stormy and danger.
It took six long months. Sailors often wished to 【M4】 ______
send mail home, but they seldom met ships bound
back to England. So at the cape the sailors would
go on ashore. They headed for a certain large 【M5】 ______
stone. On the stone scratched the words "Look 【M6】 ______
hereunder for letters." They would leave their letters
there, knowing that the next homeward ship 【M7】 ______
would stop and pick it up.
There was another post office like this at the
southern tip of South America. During the golden 【M8】 ______
rush days, boats sailed around Cape Horn to
California. At Cape Horn was a key(小桶)nailed to a
post. Boats coming from the east coast would send
for some sailors to this post office. They picked up 【M9】 ______
any letters in the key. At the same time they
mailed letters home that boats sail east could pick 【M10】 ______
up.
【M8】
选项
答案
golden改成gold
解析
此处考查词汇的用法。golden是形容词,意为“金色的,金子般的”,gold作名词,意为“黄金”;作形容词,意为“黄金做的”。故“淘金热”应为gold rush。
