Although many people speak English, they don’t pronounce it or spell the word they use the same way. The United States, in【C1】______, has its own special way of pronouncing and spelling the English language. They speak American English, and they【C2】______a lot of its special character to one man: Noah Webster.
Noah Webster was born in Connecticut in 1758. He【C3】______during a period of great American patriotism. He graduated from Yale University when he was 20. The【C4】______of the American Revolution brought independence to the United States, but political【C5】______didn’t satisfy Webster. 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.
In his books, Webster made many changes in the English used in the United States. He suggested new ways to【C14】______and spell English words. He also added new American words【C15】______the language.
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【C18】______spell give[giv], and wrong[rong], Franklin really wanted to give us our own mother tongue, but we would have【C20】______it wrong!
【C2】
选项
A、owing
B、own
C、owning
D、owe
答案
D
解析
考查固定词组。owe to为固定搭配,表示“对<某人>负有<感恩、感激等>义务”。由于and引导并列句,空格处分句中缺少谓语动词,因此空白处填动词原形。因此,D选项正确。
