分析 这是一篇主要讲述Noah Webster如何使英语拼写变得更加的容易的小短文.
文章意思:在英语中,单词的拼写并不总是能表现出发音.有些单词看起来有太多的字母.一个美国人叫诺亚•韦伯斯特想为英语的发展做一些事情,所以他开始他从事与这项工作.他的第一本书--《基础拼写》,提出了简化英语单词的拼写.这本书非常受欢迎.韦伯斯特最为著名的是他的《美式英语词典》,这本书是在1828年第一次出版的.书中介绍了很多新的美式单词,并且带有发音和用法,当然还有新式拼写.今天,韦伯斯特的词典仍然是英语国家的首选词典.
解答 71:根据"to finish making or doing something"的意思:做完或者完成某事,故填:complete;
72:根据"liked or enjoyed by a lot of people"的意思:许多人喜欢做的事情,意即受欢迎的,故填:popular;
73~74:根据"In fact"的意思:事实上,实际上,它的同义短语是"as a matter of fact",故填As,matter;
75:根据"Today,Webster's dictionary is still widely used in English-speaking countries.
"可推知:Webster's dictionary 仍被广泛在英语国家使用,故填:In English-speaking countries.
