"There is(53)Cook in the Australian Museum," museum collection manager Jude Philip said not long ago in announcing the DNA evidence that the arrow was not made of Cook’s bone. But that will not stop the museum from continuing to display the arrow in its(54) "Uncovered: Treasures of the Australian Museum," which(55)include a feather cape presented to Cook by Hawaiian King Kalani ’opu’u in 1778.
Cook was one of Britain’s great explorers and is credited with(56)the "Great South Land,"(57)Australia, in 1770. He was clubbed to death in the Sandwich Islands, now Hawaii.

"On this occasion technology has won," said Cliff Thornton, president of the Captain Cook Society, in a(64)from Britain. "But I am(65)that one of these days ...one of the Cook legends will prove to be true and it will happen one day."
选项
A、then
B、now
C、past
D、previously
答案
B
解析
从上下文判断,Cook发现的是当时称为Great South Land,现在称为Australia的那块大陆。now是答案。注意,下句中桑伟奇群岛,现称夏威夷群岛,也用now。then(当时)、 past(过去的)或previously(以前)意思与上下文表达的意思连接不上。
