If you look closely at some of the early copies of the Declaration of Independence, beyond the flourished signature of John Hancock and the other 55 men who signed it, you will also find the name of one woman, Mary Katherine Goddard. It was she, a Baltimore【C1】______, who published the first official copies of the Declaration, the first copies that included the names of its signers and【C2】______ announced the support of all thirteen colonies.
Mary Goddard first got into printing at the age of twenty-four when her brother opened a printing shop in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1762. When he【C3】______to get into trouble with his partners and creditors, it was Mary Goddard and her mother who were left to run the shop. In 1765 they began publishing the Providence Gazette, a weekly newspaper. Similar【C4】______seemed to follow her brother as he opened businesses in Philadelphia and again in Baltimore. Each time Ms. Goddard was brought in to run the newspapers. After starting Baltimore’s first newspaper, The Maryland Journal, in 1773, her brother went 【C5】______trying to organize a colonial postal service. While he was in debtor’s prison, Mary Katherine Goddard’s name【C6】______on the newspaper’s masthead for the first time.
When the Continental Congress fled there from Philadelphia in 1776, it commissioned Ms. Goddard to print the first【C7】______version of the Declaration of Independence in January, 1777. After printing the documents, she herself paid the post riders to deliver the Declaration throughout the【C8】______.
During the American Revolution, Mary Goddard continued to publish Baltimore’s only newspaper, which one historian【C9】______was "second to none among the colonies" . She was also the city’s postmaster from 1775 to 1789 — appointed by Benjamin Franklin — and is considered to be the first woman to hold a(n)【C10】______position.
A. colonies B. declared C. broke D. claimed
E. insisted F. problems G. restricted H. official
I. otherwise J. proceeded K. printer L. federal
M. editor N. appeared O. therefore [br] 【C3】
选项
答案
J
解析
proceeded,词义辨析题。根据词性,此处填入动词过去式。根据后面to do的结构,可选项有declared“宣布”,appeared“显现”,claimed“声称”,proceeded“开始”。结合后句get into trouble with his partners…“与合伙人发生纠纷”,以及下文中的follow her brother...again可推测玛丽的弟弟开始陷入逆境,故选proceeded。
