【语篇导读】1848年夏天，在危地马拉有个名叫Ambrosio Tut的采胶人在丛林中偶然发现了古代玛雅人遗址。

1．looking 考查非谓语动词作状语。

主语Tut与look为逻辑上的主动关系，且表示伴随，故用looking。

2．On 考查介词。

表示“在具体的某一天”应用介词on。

3．special 考查形容词。

此处应用形容词special修饰不定代词something。

4．walked 考查时态。

根据上下文的时态可推知本空要用一般过去时。

5．where 考查定语从句。

先行词为places，将先行词代入定语从句后为：Kings had lived in the places.由此可知关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，故答案为where。

6．but 考查并列连词。

前后两个分句之间为转折关系，故用并列连词but。

7．Between 考查介词。

8．it/there 由语境可知此处应用it或there代替前面的the city of Tikai。

9．earlier 考查副词比较级。

根据后面的than可知设空处用副词比较级。

10．hidden 考查非谓语动词作定语。

a great city与hide之间为逻辑上的被动关系，
且表示状态，故用过去分词作定语。

Dear Sir or Madam，
I am Li Hua, a senior high school student from China. I'm very excited to know that an international high school students' exchange project will be held in London during this winter vacation. To be frank, I have an interest in it, so I'm writing to apply to be a member of it.
I'm good at English and Chinese culture. On the one hand, I have no difficulty in communicating. On the other hand, it's a good chance to help other foreign students know more about China. In addition, I can handle my daily life quite well and I'm able to live independently.
I am sure this program will benefit me a lot.
Looking forward to your positive reply.
Yours，
Li Hua。
