阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Iceland is a land of volcanoes. Nowhere is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(evident) than on the Westman Islands off the
southern coast of Iceland. Here, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(century) of volcanic eruptions formed many
eye-catching sea cliffs (悬崖), among {#blank#}3{#/blank#} one stands out: A part of the volcano-formed
coast on Heimaey looks exactly like the head of a large elephant {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(stick)its trunk in the water.
In fact, it looks so much like an elephant that many people
think it must have been shaped by humans. That is not {#blank#}5{#/blank#} case, however. The elephant's
realistic {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(appear)is, at least partially, due to the fact
that the cliff {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(consist)of a special rock. The rock gives the
figure "skin" that looks wrinkled and gray, just like that of a real
elephant.
The most common theory is that the rock formations came from
the Eldfell Volcano, which {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(erupt)many times since the 1940s.
In spite of the strong resemblance to an elephant, some
people {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(actual)see something different when they look
at the rock formation. They see the fictional character Cthulhu, a sea beast.
Whether you see an elephant {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a fictional beast, as one of many
attractions on Heimaey, the rock does draw curious sightseers.
