There they found Tikal(蒂卡爾)，the city that the Mayans (瑪雅A) had built many hundreds of years before.

After 1000 AD, the jungle began to cover it and people forgot that it was there.

Seven years before Tut looked out for the trees, two British explorers had gone to Guatemala and had written a report about Mayan treasures in the jungle, but they didn't mention Tikal.

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要講述了一個(gè)叫做Ambrosio Tut的橡膠收集者在雨林中發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)古老的瑪雅城市，作者對(duì)這座城市做了相關(guān)介紹。。

1. (look) for gum in the jungle這個(gè)句子中逗號(hào)后面的部分作主語(yǔ)Tut的定語(yǔ)，這個(gè)句子意為T(mén)ut是一個(gè)在雨林中尋找樹(shù)膠的樹(shù)膠采集者，因Tut和動(dòng)詞look構(gòu)成主動(dòng)關(guān)系。故填looking

2. this particular day意為在這特殊的一天里，是具體指某個(gè)時(shí)間。故填on

3.

4. (walk)into the jungle可知and前后時(shí)態(tài)保持一致，前面用的是一般過(guò)去式，所以后面也應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去式，walk的過(guò)去式為walked。故填walked

5. kings had lived when the Mayan people ruled the region這個(gè)句子中，kings had...ruled the region places的定語(yǔ)，而先行詞places為地點(diǎn)名詞，所以用表地點(diǎn)的副詞where，一般情況下表地點(diǎn)時(shí)，where=介詞+which。故填where / in which

6. no one had seen it for centuries.中空的前后都是完整的句子，故填連詞；前面是這有一個(gè)古老的瑪雅城市，后面意為幾個(gè)世紀(jì)都沒(méi)人發(fā)現(xiàn)它，前后句意相反，所以用轉(zhuǎn)折連詞承接。故填but

7. 200 and 900 AD意為在200公元到900公元之間，between..and..：在..之間。且因空在句首，首字母需大寫(xiě)。故填Between

8.68 ─nobody knows why!可知Tikal是城市中心但那時(shí)人們離開(kāi)了這兒：沒(méi)有人知道原因。left缺少賓語(yǔ)由于前面出現(xiàn)了Tikal這個(gè)名詞，所以為了簡(jiǎn)介和避免重復(fù)，可用代詞it/there來(lái)代替Tikal。故填it / there

9.

10. (hide) in the trees意為當(dāng)?shù)氐挠〉诎踩烁嬖V歐洲的游客樹(shù)林里面隱藏著一個(gè)很棒的城市， (hide) in the trees作city的定語(yǔ)，city與hide構(gòu)成被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用過(guò)去分詞作定語(yǔ)，其過(guò)去分詞形式為hidden。故填hidden
