George Washington might have been the biggest library fines (罚款) in history. On October 5, 1789, the president borrowed two books 1 the New York Society Library (NYSL).

But there are no records of the books being returned. At the time, New York city was the US capital. (The capital was 2 to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1790 and then to Washington, D.C., in 1800.) The national government was in a 3 called Federal Hall. The library was in it, 4. Many American presidents borrowed books there, including America’s 5 president, John Adams.

Librarians kept handwritten records of every book that was borrowed. Those records have been 6 preserved ( 保存). Five months after he 7 president, Washington borrowed two books on government. They were due back on November 2, 8 there was no return date listed in the records.

That has led to 230 years of wondering: Was Washington too 9 running a new country to bring back the books? Or did a librarian forget 10 down the return date? Either way, the library has forgiven the fines.

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。故事讲述了美国总统华盛顿从纽约社会图书馆借了两本书,但是后来没有任何归还书的日期记录的故事。

1句意:1789105日,总统从纽约社会图书馆借了两本书。

the New York Society Library”前面缺少介词,表达“借”用动词短语“borrow sth. from”,此处用from表达从纽约社会图书馆借了两本书。故填from

2句意:1790年,首都搬到宾夕法尼亚州费城,然后1800年搬到华盛顿。

根据第二段“New York city was the US capital”纽约市是美国的首都,“to Philadelphia”表达首都后来被搬到别的城市,用动词move的被动形式was moved。故填moved

3句意:国家政府在一栋联邦大厅的建筑楼里。

冠词a后面缺单数名词。根据“Federal Hall”联邦大厅是一栋建筑,可知此处用build的名词building。故填building

4句意:图书馆也在那栋建筑楼里。

前一句“The national government”国家政府在联邦大厅里,此句the library图书馆也在这栋建筑里。放在句末表示“也”用too。故填too

5句意:美国的很多总统都在那里借书,包括第二任总统约翰·亚当斯。

此处讲述美国的很多总统都在那里借书,后面举例讲到包括John Adams,他是美国的第二任总统。president前面用two的序数词形式second。故填second

6句意:这些记录被小心地保存着。

此处用副词修饰动词preserved,此处表示被保存得很仔细用形容词careful的副词形式,需要加副词后缀ly变成carefully。故填carefully

7句意:华盛顿成为总统五个月之后,在那里借了两本关于政府的书。

此处缺少动词,文章讲述的是华盛顿那个时期的故事用一般过去时态。此处用动词become的过去式became表示“成为总统”。故填became

8句意:他们应该112日被归还,但是记录里没有记载归还日期。

根据“due back on November 2”可知书应该在11月2日还,“there was no return date listed in the records”书没有归还日期记录,可知前后句是转折关系,用连词but连接。故填but

9句意:导致230年疑问:是不是华盛顿他忙着管理新国家而没有还书。

此句使用固定结构“too...to do...” 表达“太……而不能做……”;此处用“be busy doing”表示华盛顿太忙而忘了还书。故填busy

10句意:或者图书管理员忘记把归还日期写下来?

动词短语forget to do表达忘记要做某事的含义。此处用动词不定式做宾语,forget to write down表示图书管理员忘记把归还日期写上了。故填to write

【题目】 Dolphins are not fish. They are mammals (哺乳动物). They live in groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they are quite different from almost all land animals. Their brain is as big as men’s and they live a long life--20 or 30 years.

Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around. They also use the sound to talk to each other and to help them to find food. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw - the lower part of the mouth.

It's strange that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. In 1903 a passenger on a boat shot (拍照) a long time in the area. Jack guided the boat and helped it out.

Today many people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them. In these places, people are not allowed to kill them.
