"On this occasion technology has won," said Cliff Thornton, president of the Captain Cook Society, in a(64)from Britain. "But I am(65)that one of these days ...one of the Cook legends will prove to be true and it will happen one day."
选项
A、then
B、now
C、past
D、previously

B
解析
从上下文判断,Cook发现的是当时称为Great South Land,现在称为Australia的那块大陆。now是答案。注意,下句中桑伟奇群岛,现称夏威夷群岛,也用now。then(当时)、 past(过去的)或previously(以前)意思与上下文表达的意思连接不上。
