　　分析

　　第9题题干可以划定位词的有Scotland，in 1831和father，空格前面是father was a，所以空格应该是表示身份的单数名词，很有可能以er-,-or, -ee, -ist, -ian等后缀结尾的名词。

　　第10题题干可以划定位词的有photographic studio，in 1866，city life，landscape和considerable time。空格前面是considerable time and the，空格后边是was heavy，所以空格应该是跟considerable time并列的名词，因为空格后边是was heavy，所以空格是单数名词，有重量的东西。

　　第11题题干可以划定位词的有photographs和souvenirs【纪念品】。空格前面是were, 后边是or souvenirs，所以空格应该是跟souvenirs并列的名词，单复数都有可能。并列的单词词性一样，词义相近，所以空格的名词应该也是一种具有纪念意义的名词。

　　第12题题干可以划定位词的有Quebec and Ontario，in 1870s and 1880s和eastern rivers。空格前面是took many trips along eastern rivers in a，所以空格应该是能够在河里运行的交通工具，所以答案应该是canoe【独木舟】, boat或ship之类的词。

　　第13题题干可以划定位词的有CPR，in 1885，railway和Rogers Pass。空格前面是photographed the，空格后边是and the railway，所以空格应该是跟the railway并列的，能够被拍摄的具象的东西。

　　定位

　　1 Alexander Henderson was born in Scotland in 1831 and was the son of a successful merchant. His grandfather, also called Alexander, had founded the family business, and later became the first chairman of the National Bank of Scotland…

　　5 In 1866, he gave up his business to open a photographic studio, advertising himself as a portrait and landscape photographer. From about 1870 he dropped portraiture to specialize in landscape photography and other views. His numerous photographs of city life revealed in street scenes, houses, and markets are alive with human activity, and although his favourite subject was landscape he usually composed his scenes around such human pursuits as farming the land, cutting ice on a river, or sailing down a woodland stream. There was sufficient demand for these types of scenes and others he took depicting the lumber trade, steamboats and waterfalls to enable him to make a living. There was little competing hobby or amateur photography before the late 1880s because of the time-consuming techniques involved and the weight of the equipment. People wanted to buy photographs as souvenirs of a trip or as gifts, and catering to this market, Henderson had stock photographs on display at his studio for mounting, framing, or inclusion in albums.

　　7 In the 1870s and 1880s Henderson travelled widely throughout Quebec and Ontario, in Canada, documenting the major cities of the two provinces and many of the villages in Quebec. He was especially fond of the wilderness and often travelled by canoe on the Blanche, du Lievre, and other noted eastern rivers. He went on several occasions to the Maritimes and in 1872 he sailed by yacht along the lower north shore of the St Lawrence River. That same year, while in the lower St Lawrence River region, he took some photographs of the construction of the lntercolonial Railway. This undertaking led in 1875 to a commission from the railway to record the principal structures along the almost-completed line connecting Montreal to Halifax. Commissions from other railways followed. In 1876 he photographed bridges on the Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Occidental Railway between Montreal and Ottawa. In 1885 he went west along the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) as far as Rogers Pass in British Columbia, where he took photographs of the mountains and the progress of construction.

　　答案

　　第1段第 一句中出现了定位词Scotland和in1831。这句中的the son of a对应第9题题干中的father对应题干中的, 所以第9题答案是merchant【商人】。

　　第5段第 一句出现了定位词in 1866, 第5段第三句出现了定位词city life和landscape。第5段倒数第二句中出现的time-consuming techniques对应第10题题干中的took up considerable time，这句中的weight对应第10题题干中的heavy，所以第10题答案是equipment。

　　第5段最后一句出现了定位词souvenirs，所以第11题的答案是跟这个词并列的gifts。

　　第7段第 一句出现了定位词in the 1870s and 1880s，Quebec and Ontario。第7段第二句中出现的travelled by对应题干中的took many trips … in a，所以第12题答案是紧跟其后的canoe。

　　第7段最后一句出现了定位词CPR，in 1885和Rogers Pass。这句中的construction对应第13题题干中的the railway，所以第13题答案是跟这个词并列的mountains。
