Many hundreds of years ago, a native (土著的) American chief named Shenandoah lived with his people in what is now the state of Virginia. Very l【1】 is known about Shenandoah, but the soft sound of his name was given to a river. The Shenandoah River still runs in a d【2】 valley (山谷) between the mountains in West Virginia, just as it did when Chief Shenandoah lived. There is an old story which tells how the river got its name.

A long time ago, many c【3】 before Europeans went to live in America, there was a great lake hidden in the mountains of Virginia. For hundreds of years, the native Americans lived near this lake, feeding on the f【4】 they caught in its clean waters. They often climbed up the mountains and set up camp there d【5】 their long hunts for food. In the evenings they sat near their camps and looked d【6】 at the beautiful lake.

On a clear, starry night you could see thousands of stars s【7】 and dancing on the water below. The native Americans loved this lake, and because they could see the stars in it they called the lake “Clear Daughter of the Stars.” In their l【8】 the word for this was “Shenandoah.”

One day there was a loud crashing sound at one end of the lake. The lake began to disappear. Its water r【9】 out of the vallev through a break (裂口) in the mountain side. The waters ran on and on until they j【10】 another river, which today is known as the Potomac.

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹Shenandoah這個(gè)名字的歷史淵源。

【1】句意：關(guān)于Shenandoah人們知之甚少。

根據(jù)下文“but the soft sound of his name was given to a river”他的名字被賦予給了一條河流，可知前后應(yīng)為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，雖然人們對(duì)他知道的極少，但他的名字被賦予給了一條河流。極少的little。故填little。

【2】句意：謝南多厄河仍流淌在維吉尼亞西部山脈的深山谷中。

根據(jù)句意，可知謝南多厄河流淌在山谷中，修飾山之間的山谷用形容詞深的deep。故填deep。

【3】句意：在歐洲人移居美洲之前的幾個(gè)世紀(jì)。

根據(jù)下文“For hundreds of years, the native Americans lived near this lake,”，可知在歐洲人來到美洲之前的幾百年，印第安人一直生活在這個(gè)湖附近，幾百年即為好幾個(gè)世紀(jì)，世紀(jì)century，此空前有many，用復(fù)數(shù)centuries。故填centuries。

【4】句意：以他們?cè)诟蓛艉�水里捉到的魚為生。

結(jié)合常識(shí)，能在湖水中捉到的并以此為食的顯然是魚，魚fish。故填fish。

【5】句意：在長(zhǎng)時(shí)間捕獵期間，他們常常爬山，在山上安營(yíng)扎寨。

他們經(jīng)常爬上山，在山上安營(yíng)扎寨和他們長(zhǎng)時(shí)間打獵之間可用介詞during“在……期間”連接。故填during。

【6】句意：晚上他們坐在帳篷附近，往下看美麗的湖泊。

根據(jù)前一句“climbed up the mountains and set up camp”，可知他們是在山上安營(yíng)扎寨，應(yīng)當(dāng)是往下看。往下看look down。故填down。

【7】句意：在一個(gè)晴朗繁星滿天的夜晚，你可以看到成千上萬的星星在山下的湖面上閃爍跳舞。

根據(jù)句意，在晚上能看到數(shù)以千計(jì)的星星在水面上跳舞，也可表達(dá)為閃耀。閃耀shine，又因句中已有謂語動(dòng)詞see，所以此處用動(dòng)名詞shining。故填shining。

【8】句意：在他們的語言中，這個(gè)詞就是“Shenandoah”。

結(jié)合前文，可知“Clear Daughter of the Stars.”這個(gè)詞在印第安語言中就是“Shenandoah”的意思，語言language。故填language。

【9】句意：湖里的水通過山邊的裂口流出了山口。

根據(jù)上一句“The lake began to disappear.”，可知由于湖里的水沖出來了所以導(dǎo)致這個(gè)湖開始消失。沖出run out，結(jié)合語境，此句用一般過去時(shí)。故填ran。

【10】句意：水一直流，直到匯入另一條河。

根據(jù)常識(shí)，河流是匯聚在一起，最終流入大海。結(jié)合文章語境，Shenandoah河沖出山谷后加入另一支河流。加入join，用一般過去時(shí)。故填joined。
