分析 本文是一篇人物故事类短文.主要介绍了美国著名的词典编纂家诺亚•韦伯斯特的生平.韦伯斯特1758年10月出生于哈特福德,由于他很爱学习,父母送他去了康涅狄格州的耶鲁大学,毕业之后,为了谋生,在格拉斯顿伯里教书.他对美国的学校不大满意,班额太大,教材也很破旧,所以他编写了一本教材.后来他又意识到美国人应该说统一的语言和书写,他又编写了一本词典,里面有些和英国英语不一样的地方,直到他70岁的时候才完成.他还做了很大其他的工作,一直到1843年去世.被誉为美国英雄.
解答 66.答案:First.标题理解题. 这篇短文主要介绍了韦伯斯特和他编写的第一部词典的情况,根据"When Noah was 43,he started writing the first American dictionary."所以答案为First.
67.答案:teacher.细节理解题.根据"in order to make a living,Noah taught in Glastonbury"可知为了谋生,他在格拉斯顿伯里当老师,故填teacher.
68.答案:afford.细节理解题.根据"his parents didn't have more money to send him to school."他父母没有钱送他去上学,也就是负担不起他上学的费用,因为空格前面是couldn't,后面要用动词原形,所以要用afford来填空.
69.答案:satisfy.细节理解题.根据"Noah did not like American schools."他不喜欢美国的学校,也就是不满意美国的学校,因为空格前面借助助动词did构成了否定式,后面要用动词原形所以填动词satisfy.
70.答案:popular.细节理解题.根据"It was the most popular American book of its time."可知在那个时代是最受欢迎的课本,故填popular.
71.答案:necessary.细节理解题.根据"He thought that all Americans should speak in the same way."可知他认为美国人有必要用统一的方式来说话,另外此处是一个结构"It is/was+形容词+for sb.to do sth."故填形容词necessary.
72.答案:own.细节理解题.根据"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."他认为美国应该有不同于英国英语的一些读法和拼写,也就是有自己的读和写的方法.另外"用某人自己的方式"要用固定结构"in one's own way"故填own.
73.答案:accomplished/finished.细节理解题.根据"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岁的时候才完成这部词典的编写,故填accomplished或者finished.
74.答案:took.细节理解题.根据"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"从43开始写一直到70,写这部词典花费了27年的时间,所以要用结构"It takes sb.sometime to do sth."意思是"花费某人多少时间做某事".此处为一般过去时故用其过去式took.故填took.
75.答案:hero.细节理解题.根据"When Noah Webster died in 1843,he was considered an American hero."可知他被认为是美国的英雄,故填hero.
