In 1783, Webster published a textbook called The American spelling Book. It was used by generation after【C8】______of American school children. Because the book had a blue back, it becomes famous【C9】______"the blue-backed speller" .

【C12】
选项
A、opportunities
B、chances
C、opportunity
D、chance
答案
B
解析
考查单词词义。根据空格后面的are,可推知空格处应填名词复数形式,故排除C和D选项。A选项表示“机会”,B选项表示“可能性”。这句话说“有可能当你不知道某个单词意思时,你可以在Noah Webster新版中查询它的意思”。因此,B选项正确。
