本文讲述的是有关于林肯的事情。在林肯十岁时,他的母亲就去世了,父亲再婚,继母对她很好,让他学习。最终他成为了一名很好的律师、政治家,最终成为了美国第16届总统,领导独立战争,不幸的是,他在1865的时候被暗杀身亡。
【1】句意:这个家庭很穷,所以他们不得不为了生活而挣扎。由所给的音标['strgl]可知,本题的单词为struggle“奋斗;搏斗;努力;争取” 等意思;因为had to后接动词原形。故答案为:struggle。
【2】句意:在伊利诺伊州,既没有老师也没有学校,但是林肯的继母鼓励他学习。结合语境可知,本题用neither,与后面的单词nor构成,neither …nor…“既不……也不……”,这里指的是在伊利诺伊州,既没有老师也没有学校。故答案为:neither。
【3】句意:在伊利诺伊州,既没有老师也没有学校,但是林肯的继母鼓励他学习。结合句意和首字母提示可知,用encourage,encourage sb. to do sth. 鼓励某人去做某事;句子there were ___2___ teachers nor schools的时态为过去时,故本题的时态也用过去时。所以答案为:encouraged。
【4】句意:在接下来的几年里,他更积极参与政治。结合语境可知,本题用part,take active part in…积极参加……;语境是说,他更积极参与政治。故本题的答案为:part。
【5】句意:不久,他不仅是一位受人尊敬的律师,还是一位著名的政治家。由语境和汉语提示可知,用high,respected是动词,因此前面用副词来修饰。故答案为:highly。
【6】句意:1861年他当选为美国第十六任总统。由所给的音标['siks'tinθ]可知,本题的单词为sixteenth,“第十六”的意思;the后接序数词。故答案为:sixteenth。
【7】句意:同年,内战爆发了。结合句意和首字母提示可知,用break,break out 爆发,发生;内战是在1861发生的,因此用过去时。故答案为:broke。
【8】句意:北方各州和林肯总统都想让这些奴隶摆脱出来。由语境和汉语提示可知,用rid,get rid of“摆脱”的意思。因此本题填:rid。
【9】句意:在1865年4月9日,内战结束,所有的奴隶都获得了自由。由语境可知,用free,set free“获得自由”的意思。语境是,在1865年4月9日,内战结束,所有的奴隶都获得了自由。故答案为:free。
【10】句意:第二天他因受伤而死。由句子Less than a week later, on April 14,1865,Abraham Lincoln was shot at the Ford Theatre in Washington, DC. 可知,不到一周后,1865年4月14日,亚伯拉罕·林肯在华盛顿的福特剧院被暗杀。说明他受伤了。因此下文的死亡,是因为受伤。再结合首字母提示可知,用wound;结合语境可知,他在被暗杀的时候,伤口不止一处,故用复数。所以答案为:wounds。
