It is very difficult to saythat when colonization began.The first hundred years after Christo-pher Columbus’s journey of discovery in 1492 did not produce any settlement on the North Ameri-can continent but rather some Spanish trading posts further south,a great interest in gold and ad-venture,and some colorful crimes in which the English had their part.John Cabot,originally from Genoa but a citizen of Venice, was estahlished as a trader in Bristol,England,when he made a journey in 1497 .But his ship,the Matthew,with its crew of eighteen,did no more than see an island(probably off the New England coast)and return home.He and his son made fur-ther voyages across the north Atlantic,which enahled the English Crown to claima“legal”title to North America.But for a long time afterwards the Europeans,interest in America was mainly con-fined to the Spanish activities further south.
Th e fi rst heginning of permanent settlement in North America was nearly a hundred yearsa仁 ter Columbus'5 first voyage.The Englishman Sir Walter Raleigh claimed the whole of North Amer-ica for England,calling it Virginia.In 1585 he sent a small group ofpeople who landed in Roano-ke Island,but they stayed only for a year and then went back to England with another expedition, led hy Drake,in 1 5 87 .A second group who landed in 1 587 had all disappeared when a further expedition arrived in 1590.
The first permanent settlement in North America was in 1 607 .English capitalists founded two Virginia companies,a southern one hased in London and a northern one based in Bristol.It was decided to give the name New England to the northernarea.The first settlers in Virginia were lit-tle more than wage slaves to the company.All were men and the experiment was not very success-ful .Many died.Those who survived lived in miserable conditions.By 1619 the colony had onlya thousand people.

There were eighteen people on board the Matthew during its voyage to North America in 1497.

参考答案

参考解析
解析:文章的第一句话指出“很难说殖民地的开拓是从何时开始的”。


第一段说在1492年哥伦布发现新大陆之后的100年中,北美大陆上没有出现过一块殖民者的定居地,但是在更往南的地方即南美出现了一些西班牙人的贸易站。


第一段说John Cabot 1497年航行到了北美,之后他和他儿子又多次穿越北大西洋航行到北美,才使英国王室能够宣布对北美大陆的“合法”拥有权。


1497年John Cabot首次乘坐“马修号”到达北美时船上有18位水手,再加上他本人船上应该至少有19人。


第二段第一句话说北美大陆开始出现永久定居地是在哥伦布首航近一百年之后的事情,第三句话说Walter Raleigh爵士在1585年派了一小组人登上了Roanoke岛。


第二段第二句话说英国人Walter Raleigh宣称整个北美都属于英国,并称之为弗吉尼亚。


文章的最后一段说英国资本家成立了两家弗吉尼亚公司,后来决定用“新英格兰” 这个名字来称呼北美北部地区,但并没有说是由谁来命名的。
