【解析】

本短文是一篇城市介紹，介紹了賓夕法尼亞州地理、歷史、經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化等。

【1】句意：它是美國(guó)北部的一個(gè)州。在句中缺少形容詞本題中缺少形容詞 “北方的”，north變?yōu)?/span>northern，修飾state。故答案為：northern。

【2】句意：美國(guó)第三十三大州。用形容詞的最高級(jí)形式。large的最高級(jí)為largest。故填：largest。

【3】句意：在歐洲人到來(lái)之前，有幾個(gè)印第安部落住在賓夕法尼亞。表示“歐洲人”用European，又結(jié)合句意，用復(fù)數(shù)形式，所以填寫Europeans。

【4】句意：緊隨其后的是瑞典。前面的句子Dutch came first,是過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)，因此該空也用過(guò)去時(shí)；follow的過(guò)去式為followed。故答案為：followed。

【5】句意：經(jīng)過(guò)幾次戰(zhàn)斗，他們控制了這塊土地。由于講述的是歷史，發(fā)生在過(guò)去的事情，用一般過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)，動(dòng)詞用過(guò)去式，即took。

【6】句意：賓夕法尼亞后來(lái)被授予Penn家族。主謂語(yǔ)存在被動(dòng)關(guān)系，時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)提示用一般過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)，故用一般過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)形式。所以答案為：was given。

【7】句意：賓夕法尼亞是第二個(gè)加入該國(guó)的國(guó)家。表示“第二個(gè)”用序數(shù)詞second。故答案為：second/2nd。

【8】句意：自殖民地成立以來(lái)，費(fèi)城一直是一個(gè)重要的城市。“since the colony was founded.”知，此處用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)態(tài)，主語(yǔ)是費(fèi)城，所以填寫has been。

【9】句意：也有赫爾希，這是眾所周知的巧克力公司。短語(yǔ)be known as意為“被認(rèn)為是，以…著稱”。故答案為：known。

【10】句意：在賓夕法尼亞有很多事情要做。動(dòng)詞不定式表示目的。故答案為：to do。

【11】句意：它們都有免費(fèi)的入口。 結(jié)合句子，此處應(yīng)該填寫名詞表示“入口”，故填寫entry/entrance。

【12】句意：你在考慮訪問(wèn)這個(gè)州嗎？介詞后加動(dòng)名詞形式，即填寫visiting。所以答案為：visiting。
