San Francisco【S3】______into a city overnight because of the nearby discovery of gold in 1848. A【S4】______rush to California took place. Wagon trains plodded their【S5】______way across 2,000 miles of prairie and mountains, while hundreds of sailing vessels made the【S6】______hazardous trip around the Horn. The vessels disgorged thousands of passengers then the crews【S7】______their ships and hundreds of vessels were left to rot in the Bay. Within two years, California had enough population to become a【S8】______and San Francisco was for many years the hub of that newly-arrived population.
The city’s present【S9】______is due to an excellent climate, an easy style of living, good food, and numerous tourist attractions. The city is famous for its cable cars which "clang and bang" up the【S10】______hills, and for its excellent seafood stalls along the wharf. Most visitors arriving from nations in the Pacific Basin spend several days getting to know the town.

选项
答案
F
解析
空格处应填入动词作谓语,并可以与介词into搭配,根据句子时态可知要选择动词的过去式,句中“into a city overnight”是说旧金山从城镇一夜间发展成为城市,表明该动词应该是与突然的转变有关,选项中只有sprang符合题意。再根据后面because of列出的原因,可以确定答案。
