高中英语语法填空:短文题型基础练习 Test 16

The time is December 1776. British General William Howe has decided to stop fighting during the cold winter months. The general is in New York. He has already established control of a few areas near the city,  61  (include) Trenton and Princeton in New Jersey.

General George Washington and the Continental Army are on the other side of the Delaware River. The Americans are cold and hungry. They have few weapons. Washington knows that  62  Howe attacks, the British will be able to go all the way to Philadelphia.

“And he's looking at his army  63  is melting away...”

Historian Gordon Wood says that moment was the low point of the war for George Washington.

“...and he decides to make one great effort  64  Christmas night and crosses the Delaware in dead of winter — cold, ice — and he crosses it and attacks Trenton,  65  you have about one thousand Hessians who are kind of overwhelmed and defeated. It's a small tactical victory but a great  66  (psychology) effect, because it's the first time that Washington's ever actually done something positive, and it really does, I think, change the psychology of the war.”

Another result of the victory at Trenton was  67  more men decided to join the army.  68  now had ten thousand soldiers. This new Continental Army,  69  , lost battles during the summer to General Howe's forces near the Chesapeake Bay. And in August seventeen seventy-seven, General Howe captured Philadelphia.

Following these losses, Washington led the army to the nearby area of Pennsylvania  70  (call) Valley Forge.
