It was she, a Baltimore【C1】________ , who published the first official copies of the Declaration, the first copies that included the names of its signers and【C2】________ announced the support of all thirteen colonies.
Mary Goddard first got into printing at the age of twenty-four when her brother opened a printing shop in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1762. When he【C3】________ to get into trouble with his partners and creditors, it was Mary Goddard and her mother who were left to run the shop. In 1765 they began publishing the Providence Gazette, a weekly newspaper. Similar【C4】________ seemed to follow her brother as he opened businesses in Philadelphia and again in Baltimore. Each time Ms. Goddard was brought in to run the newspapers. After starting Baltimore’s first newspaper, The Maryland Journal, in 1773, her brother went【C5】________ trying to organize a colonial postal service. While he was in debtor’s prison, Mary Katherine Goddard’s name【C6】________ on the newspaper’s masthead for the first time.
When the Continental Congress fled there from Philadelphia in 1776, it commissioned Ms. Goddard to print the first【C7】________ version of the Declaration of Independence in January, 1777. After printing the documents, she herself paid the post riders to deliver the Declaration throughout the【C8】________ . During the American Revolution, Mary Goddard continued to publish Baltimore’s only newspaper, which one historian【C9】________ was "second to none among the colonies". She was also the city’s postmaster from 1775 to 1789 — appointed by Benjamin Franklin — and is considered to be the first woman to hold a(n)【C10】________ position.

E. insisted F. problems G. restricted H. official
I. otherwise J. proceeded K. printer L. federal

【C9】
选项
答案
D
解析
词义辨析题。根据词性,此处填入及物动词过去式。可选项有“claimed,declared”。declare意为“宣布(公告、法律等),声明”;而claim意为“声称,认为”,往往表达观点和意见。根据空后接的表语second to none among the colonies“殖民地独一无二的报纸”,可理解此处是某历史学家表达他的观点,故答案是claimed。
