【答案】1. on 考查介词。表示“在……海岸上”要用介词on。
2. excited 考查形容词。此处表示她们的心理感受，所以填excited。
3. to take 考查固定搭配。 be able to do sth.能够做某事。
4. distance 考查名词。根据前面的a short可知，所填的词是名词形式。
5. getting 考查非谓语动词。 after在这里是介词，后接动词时要用-ing形式。
6. where 考查定语从句。所填的词引导定语从句并在从句中作地点状语，所以用where。

8. largest 考查比较等级。根据前面的one of the可知，此处应该用最高级形式。
9. headed 考查时态。讲述过去发生的事要用一般过去时。
