Answer 1

1. called。考查过去分词作定语的用 法。call与section之间是逻辑上的 动宾关系，故填called。

2. smallest。考查形容词的最高级。

borough 后承前省略了 of all the boroughs ,故填最高级形式。

3. on。考查介词。表达“在信封上” 需用介词on.

4. that。考查连词。so ... that意为“如 此……以致于”。

5. is connected。考查一般现在时的 被动语态#。设空处描述的是见 事实且Manhattan与connect之间 是被动关系，故填is connected。

6. a。考查不定冠词。a series of意为 “一系列”。

7. its。考查代词。设空处后是名词 短语brick arches ,故填形容词性物主代词。

8. mostly。考查副词。设空处修饰动 词runs ,且意为“大部分”，故填 mostly。

9. which。考查关系词。设空处所在 句是定语从句，设空处指代neighborhoods且作介词的宾语，故 填 which。

10. lived。考查一般过去时。由first (最初) 可知，live所表示的动作发 生在过去，故填lived。.
