答案 A
解析 空格后的“the mysterious New World became for many people a genuine hope”（这个神秘的新世界成了很多人的真正希望），应发生在“Europeans‘discovered' America in the fifteenth century”（欧洲人在巧世纪发现了美洲）之后。故选B。


结合上下文可知，这里指的是逃离贫穷（poverty）和压迫。happiness幸福；prosperity 繁荣；wealth财富。故选D。


空格前一句“We can say that, as nation, America begins with that hope.”（我们可以认为，美国是随着对新生活的美好希望开始的。）与“When does American literature be-gin?”（美国文学是什么时候开始的）是转折关系。but但是，表转折，后面不用逗号； however但是，表转折，后面需用逗号；and和，与，表并列；so所以，表原因。故选B。


这里指的是北美土著居民。native本地人，本地的；naughty淘气的；natural自然的； national全国性的。故选D。


空格所在分句的意思是每个部落的文学都紧密地交织到日常生活的构架中去。tightly严严实实，紧紧地；loosely松散地；densely浓密地；heavily沉重地。故选C。


这里是指另一种经历。other另外的；the other两者中的另一个；other、其他的人或物；均不符合题意和用法，只有another适合。故选A。


这里是指哥伦布及其他探险家送回家乡的用西班牙语、法语和英语写成的报告。give给；bring带来；take带走；均不符合题意和用法，只有sent适合。故选B。


这里指的是艰辛且令人心碎的经历。favourable有利的；unforgettable难忘的；heartbreaking令人心碎的；significant重要的。故选C。


这些艰辛且令人心碎的经历是早期的经历。early早期的；later后来的；final最后的; late迟到的。故选A。


空格所在分句的意思是这个新世界提供了各种各样的经历。improve提升，提高；promote促进，推进；develop发展，开发；provided提供。故选D。


空格所在分句的意思是这些经历要求很多美国早期文学家用各种各样的方式来描述。destroy摧毁; demanded要求；disrupt扰乱；dispute辩论，争论。故选B。


空格所在句是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词John Smith为人，故需用wh。来引导。故选D。


think of… as…意思是“认为……是……”，是固定词组，用在这里是指认为自己是：大英帝国的臣民。故选C


这里考查的是非谓语动词，“他们”与“怀疑”的动作是主动关系，故用、uspecting，表伴随。故选B。


他们都是早期美国文学的创造者。creators创造者；conductor指挥；contributor贡献者; conqueror征服者，占领者。故选A。
