$The Amazon is the world's second longest river. It is about 4,000 miles long, just about 118 miles \underline{\quad 12 \quad} (short) than the Nile, but it is the widest river on earth. It is about 60 miles wide in some parts. About 20 percent of the water that \underline{\quad 13 \quad} (pour) into the ocean comes from the Amazon. It has more water than any other river in the world.$
$The Amazon \underline{\quad 14 \quad} (give) South America lots of water. It has thousands of branch rivers. The \underline{\quad 15 \quad} (long) of them is more than 1,000 miles.$
$The Amazon is part of a large area \underline{\quad 16 \quad} (call) the Amazon Rainforest. The Amazon Rainforest has a lot of plants and animals. In some places, the plants are too thick for sunlight \underline{\quad 17 \quad} (reach) the rainforest floor.$
$The famous explorer Francisco de Orellana \underline{\quad 18 \quad} (give) the river its name. \underline{\quad 19 \quad} 1541 to 1542, he and his men met a group of wild women. They made him think of \underline{\quad 20 \quad} old story about the very brave Amazons. Perhaps he wanted \underline{\quad 21 \quad} (tell) later travellers about these wild women, so he named the river the Amazon.$
$The people living along the Amazon in the old times used the river for watering plants \underline{\quad 22 \quad} transportation. This doesn't change until now.$

解析

【分析】本题为语法填空题,需结合句子结构、时态规则、词性变化、固定搭配等知识解题。具体思路:1. 由12空后的than判断需用形容词比较级;2. 13空所在定语从句先行词water为不可数名词,结合一般现在时确定动词形式;3. 14空主语为单数,结合一般现在时确定谓语动词;4. 15空前有the,后接of,需用形容词对应的名词;5. 16空修饰名词area,表被动用过去分词;6. 17空为固定结构too...to...,需用动词不定式;7. 18空时间为过去年份,用一般过去时;8. 19空为固定搭配from...to...;9. 20空old以元音音素开头,用不定冠词;10. 21空为固定搭配want to do;11. 22空连接并列成分,用连词。
【解析】12. 根据句中than可知,此处用形容词short的比较级shorter;13. 定语从句先行词water是不可数名词,时态为一般现在时,故谓语动词用pours;14. 主语The Amazon是单数,时态为一般现在时,谓语动词用gives;15. 此处需用long的名词形式length,构成“the + 名词 + of”结构;16. 过去分词called作后置定语,修饰area,表被动关系;17. 固定结构too...to...表示“太…而不能…”,故用动词不定式to reach;18. 时间状语为1541年,用一般过去时,故用give的过去式gave;19. 固定搭配from...to...表示“从…到…”,故填From;20. old以元音音素开头,表泛指“一个古老的故事”,用不定冠词an;21. 固定搭配want to do sth.表示“想要做某事”,故用to tell;22. 连接两个并列的用途,用连词and。
【答案】12. shorter;13. pours;14. gives;15. length;16. called;17. to reach;18. gave;19. From;20. an;21. to tell;22. and
