分析 这篇文章主要介绍了简奥斯丁及她的作品.她是英国伟大的女作家之一,简奥斯丁一生并不出名,她的书在她去世后才流行起来,她的书现在是世界上最有阅读和研究的书籍之一.
解答 76.Britain/England.根据第一句Jane Austen is one of Britain's great female writers简奥斯丁是英国伟大的女作家之一,得知答案为Britain/England.
77.分开 apart在文章当中是一个副词,意思是分开地,分离地,通常与from组合构成固定短语apart from与…分离,分开.
78.Jane enjoyed dancing and long country walks.根据Jane enjoyed dancing和She loved the country and enjoyed long country walks,可得知答案.
79.然而这些书直到许多年后才出版.本句考查一般过去时的被动语态的翻译.yet是一个转折词,意思是然而,但是;一般过去时的被动语态构造是was/were+done;同时,也考查固定短语not…until…的用法和意义.until和till用于否定句中,其句型为not…until…意为"直到…才…"或"在…之前(没有)"通常与费延续性的动词连用,强调主句所表示的状态或动作从until/till所表示的时间才发生,主句必须是否定句.故得出正确的翻译.
80.None of the books that were published in Jane Austen's lifetime had her name on them.根据前文None of the books that were published in Jane Austen's lifetime had her name on them简奥斯丁一生出版的书中没有一本是她的名字;下文As a result,Jane Austen was not very famous in her lifetime中as a result意思是结果,故上文是原因.

The 2012London Olympic Games are around the corner.If you have the chance to visit Britain yourself,you can see at every bus stop the British people form a queue.You may have read about it,but you will still feel amazed to see it with your own eyes.
It's an amazing social behavior; it brings the British to a higher level of civilization(文明).At least that is what one German professor thinks.The professor named Joseph Heinrich and his workmates say that standing in line is the"highest form of cooperative(协作的) group behavior".
The social rules(细则) of standing in line are also interesting.For example,you need to be able to decide the correct distance to the person in front of you.Get too close and there is a danger of entering other people's personal space.This is a serious mistake and often makes other people angry.However,when you leave too much space,the next person is likely to ask:"Are you in the queue?"This may sound polite but in fact it means:"Can't you stand in line properly?"
In no other countries can you see the one-man queue except in Britain.If a British person arrives at a bus stop and no one else is there,he will not simply wait.Instead,he stands at the head of the queue.
Tourists are often unfamiliar with local customs(习俗),and if they do not get in line behind the British person,he or she will tell them strictly:"This is a queue."
Though it might seem that the British people take their queues too Seriously,one thing is certain:queues can save lives.In dangerous situations,standing in line has prevented them from getting very frightened.
In the serious train accident in 1999,people who were hurt formed a queue as they escaped from their trains.One writer later wrote about a polite man who let her pass with a quiet"after you".
