分析 本文是一篇人物故事類短文.主要介紹了美國著名的詞典編纂家諾亞•韋伯斯特的生平.韋伯斯特1758年10月出生于哈特福德,由于他很愛學習,父母送他去了康涅狄格州的耶魯大學,畢業(yè)之后,為了謀生,在格拉斯頓伯里教書.他對美國的學校不大滿意,班額太大,教材也很破舊,所以他編寫了一本教材.后來他又意識到美國人應該說統(tǒng)一的語言和書寫,他又編寫了一本詞典,里面有些和英國英語不一樣的地方,直到他70歲的時候才完成.他還做了很大其他的工作,一直到1843年去世.被譽為美國英雄.
解答 86.first.標題理解題. 這篇短文主要介紹了韋伯斯特和他編寫的第一部詞典的情況,根據(jù)"When Noah was 43,he started writing the first American dictionary."故填first.
87.teacher.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"in order to make a living,Noah taught in Glastonbury"可知為了謀生,他在格拉斯頓伯里當老師,故填teacher.
88.a(chǎn)fford.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"his parents didn't have more money to send him to school."他父母沒有錢送他去上學,也就是負擔不起他上學的費用,因為空格前面是couldn't,后面要用動詞原形,所以要用afford來填空.
89.satisfy.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"Noah did not like American schools."他不喜歡美國的學校,也就是不滿意美國的學校,因為空格前面借助助動詞did構成了否定式,后面要用動詞原形所以填動詞satisfy.
90.popular.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"It was the most popular American book of its time."可知在那個時代是最受歡迎的課本,故填popular.
91.necessary.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"He thought that all Americans should speak in the same way."可知他認為美國人有必要用統(tǒng)一的方式來說話,另外此處是一個結構"It is/was+形容詞+for sb.to do sth."故填形容詞necessary.
92.own.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"He also thought that Americans should not speak and spell just like the English.Noah used American spellings like color instead of the English color and music instead of musick."他認為美國應該有不同于英國英語的一些讀法和拼寫,也就是有自己的讀和寫的方法.另外"用某人自己的方式"要用固定結構"in one's own way"故填own.
93.a(chǎn)ccomplished/finished.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"When Noah accomplished (完成) his dictionary in 1828,at the age of 70,the first American dictionary came out."可知他在70歲的時候才完成這部詞典的編寫,故填accomplished或者finished.
94.took.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"When Noah was 43,he started writing the first American dictionary.""When Noah accomplished (完成) his dictionary in 1828,at the age of 70"從43開始寫一直到70,寫這部詞典花費了27年的時間,所以要用結構"It takes sb.sometime to do sth."意思是"花費某人多少時間做某事".此處為一般過去時故用其過去式took.故填took.
95.hero.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"When Noah Webster died in 1843,he was considered an American hero."可知他被認為是美國的英雄,故填hero.
