He wanted to【C6】______"the King’s English" and replace it【C7】______a special American Language.
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" .
Webster also【C10】______a dictionary. It too, became very【C11】______and was updated and reprinted many times.【C12】______are, when you are confused with a word, you’ll【C13】______the word in a new edition of Noah Webster’s book.

Webster made many other changes, most of【C16】______American use today. However, Webster did not go【C17】______his friend Benjamin Franklin wanted him to. Franklin wanted to drop all the silent letters from words; he also wanted to change the spelling of many words. Had Franklin written the dictionary【C18】______Webster, he【C19】______spell give [giv], and wrong [rong] . Franklin really wanted to give us our own mother tongue, but we would have【C20】______it wrong!
【C17】
选项
A、as farther as
B、as far as
C、as long as
D、as longer as
答案
A
解析
考查比较级。as far as表示“远到”,表程度或范围;as long as表示“只要,在……的时候”。这句话说“Webster并没有像他朋友Benjamin Franklin期待他走得那么远”,空格处表示比较,因此,A选项最符合原文意思,为正确选项。
