【解析】

1.

解析　此处表示最早已知的定居者，因此选known。

2.2】　D

解析　此题考查词义辨析。across指“横跨”；through指“(从……内部)穿过……”；into指“进入，到……里”；on指“在……上”。穿越白令海峡应该用across。

3.3】　C

解析　用ago表示纯粹的过去。句意为：据说10 000年前印第安人由东亚穿越白令海峡和大海来到此地。

4.4】　A

解析　此处选A项表示“到达此地”，reach为及物动词。根据上文可知，印第安人是首先来到加拿大的人，而此处提到的是欧洲人，B项不符合语境；由前文及常识可知，欧洲人来到加拿大时，还没有飞机，故C项错误；ship作动词时表示“用船运，运送”之意，不符合语境。

5.5】　B

解析　此处covered by(覆盖着……)为过去分词短语作areas的定语。

6.6】　D

解析　only a few只有一些。要注意：尽管此词组表示的数量不多，但不能用only few。

7.7】　C

解析　本句主语为people，所以谓语要求用复数形式。全文时态为过去时，故选C项。

8.8】　A

解析　此处cross为动词，意思是“跨过，穿过”。爱斯基摩人从亚洲到加拿大中途要穿越白令海峡。

9.9】　B

解析　此处record意思是“记录”。句意为：几乎没有他们早期活动的记录。

10.0】　C

解析　根据下文可以看出是法国人。

11.1】　D

解析　此题考查词组“in great numbers”，表示“大量地”。

12.2】　D

解析　此处where引导一个非限制性定语从句，在句中作状语。

13.3】　A

解析　by the time of...意思是“到……时候为止”。后接表示过去的时间时，句子用过去完成时。

14.4】　B

解析　此处为现在分词短语作定语，意思是“生活在……”。

15.5】　C

解析　此处的until与not搭配，意思是“直到……才……”。

16.6】　B

解析　表示不确定的数量，这四个选项中唯一正确的为B项，其他均不对。

17.7】　D

解析　此处“from...”表示“来自……”，指他们的祖籍。由本段第一句可知此处介绍加拿大的移民中英国人所占的比例。

18.8】　A

解析　考查词组构成。make up的意思是“组成……”。其他几个介词和make连用时，通常用被动形式。

19.9】　C

解析　the turn of the century意思是“世纪之交”。

20.20】　A

解析　come from来自。
