解析：

(1)	此處表示最早已知的定居者，因此選known。
(2)	此題考查詞義辨析。through指“(從…內(nèi)部)穿過…”；across指“橫跨”。另外兩個差距太大。
(3)	用ago表示純粹的過去，本句意思是：10，000 years前來到此地。
(4)	此處選A表示“到達此地”，reach為及物動詞。
(5)	此處是“be covered by(覆蓋著…)”的省略。
(6)	only a few“只有一些”。要注意：盡管此詞組表示的數(shù)量不多，但不能用only few。
(7)	本句主語為people，所以謂語要求用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
(8)	此處cross為動詞，意思是“跨過，穿過”。
(9)	此處record意思是“記錄”。本句意思是“幾乎沒有他們早期活動的記錄�！�
(10)	根據(jù)下文可以看出是法國人。
(11)	此題考查詞組“in great numbers”，其表示“大量的”指代可數(shù)名詞。
(12)	此處where引導(dǎo)一個非限定性定語從句，在句中作狀語。
(13)	“by the time of…”意思是“到…時候為止”。
(14)	此處為動詞的-ing形式作定語，意思是“生活在…”。
(15)	此處的until與not搭配，意思是“直到…才”。
(16)	表示不確定的數(shù)量，這四個答案中唯一正確的形式為B，其它均不對。
(17)	此處“from…”表示“來自…”，指他們的祖籍。
(18)	構(gòu)成詞組：make up意思是“組成…”。
(19)	“the turn of the century”意思是：世紀(jì)之交。
(20)	come in意思是“來到，進入…”。
