Al Smith, Governor of New York State, was born very poorly. He had less education in school, but he worked very hard and won great successes. One day, he paid a visit for the state prison at Sing Sing. The head of the prison asked Mr. Smith say something to the prisoners. He has never spoken to this kind of audience before, so he did not know where to begin. Finally he said, “My fellow citizens…” and then he remembered that when a man goes to the prison, he is no longer a citizen. He began again, “My fellow prisoners…” That wasn’t sound right. At last he said, “Well, however, I’m glad to see many of you here today.”

Answer 1

【小题1】poorly—poor
【小题2】less education—little education
【小题3】successes—success
【小题4】a visit for—a visit to
【小题5】^ say—to say
【小题6】has never—had never
【小题7】where to begin—how to begin
【小题8】the prison
【小题9】wasn’t sound—didn’t sound
【小题10】however—anyhow/anyway

解析【小题1】此处poor修饰的是Smith，修饰名词用形容词。
【小题2】此处没有比较的含义，education是不可数名词，故用little
【小题3】success是不可数名词
【小题4】固定短语 pay a visit to参观，拜访
【小题5】固定用法ask sb to do sth
【小题6】全文都是过去时，而此处指的是之前的，所以是过去的过去
【小题7】根据文章意思，可知，此处讲的是方法，而不是方向。意为他不知道该怎样开始。
【小题8】此处prison不是特指 坐牢就是go to prison
【小题9】因为sound 是动词，所以否定选择助动词didn’t。
【小题10】however是转折，此处不是转折的意思。意为不管怎样，我很高兴在这里看到你们。
