【解析】

试题分析本文介绍了“百科全书”的出处、作者以及内容。

【1】句意:它意味着“通识教育”。 因为It为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词用三单形式。故为么means。

【2】句意:百科全书是一种参考书。a kind of一种……

【3】句意:百科全书是一种参考书,并且囊括了要么各个知识领域的信息,要么一种专门知识领域的信息。eitheror…二者择一的,要么……要么……

【4】句意:大概2000年前人们开始用它。此处应用动词的过去式,即begin的过去式began。

【5】句意:最古老的人是一个博物学家。前一句说人们2000年前开始用百科全书,这些人中最古老的一个人应用形容词最高级表示,且前面有the,故为oldest。

【6】句意它的作者是老普林尼。本句话为被动语态,It在这里指代the encyclopaedia。

【7】句意:一些百科全书仅由一册组成,但其他的一些有很多册。make up of……组成。

【8】句意:一些百科全书仅由一册组成,但其他的一些有很多册。Others是other的复数形式,泛指“另外几个,其余的”。前半句说了“一些百科全书”,后半句应说“其余的百科全书”。

【9】句意:也有一些在线的百科全书,例如维基百科。There be句型采用就近一致原则,由后面some online encyclopaedias可知,此处用are。

【10】句意:他们对寻求信息的人来说是免费的。look for寻找。单个现在分词作定语,放在所修饰词前面,分词短语则放在所修饰词的后面,此处的looking for分词短语,修饰people,放在其后面。
