问题     Today we take for granted that the mail will
be delivered daily at our door. But many years ago
it might have been placed in a tree trunk and          【M1】 ______
underneath a rock. In the early days of the mail no
one could be sure about where or when it will arrive   【M2】 ______
    At the southern tip of Africa there was once a
post office under a rock. At the old days the route    【M3】 ______
from England to India was around the Cape of
Good Hope. The journey was stormy and danger.
It took six long months. Sailors often wished to       【M4】 ______
send mail home, but they seldom met ships bound
back to England. So at the cape the sailors would
go on ashore. They headed for a certain large          【M5】 ______
stone. On the stone scratched the words "Look          【M6】 ______
hereunder for letters." They would leave their letters
there, knowing that the next homeward ship             【M7】 ______
would stop and pick it up.
    There was another post office like this at the
southern tip of South America. During the golden       【M8】 ______
rush days, boats sailed around Cape Horn to
California. At Cape Horn was a key(小桶)nailed to a
post. Boats coming from the east coast would send  
for some sailors to this post office. They picked up   【M9】 ______
any letters in the key. At the same time they
mailed letters home that boats sail east could pick    【M10】 ______
up.
[br] 【M4】
选项
答案 danger改成dangerous
解析 由于本句是系表结构，故应该用形容词；并且从修辞上来看，stormy有风暴的是形容词，后面and并列的词性也应该是形容词。故应将名词danger改为形容词dangerous。
