Sure you know their names, possibly better than you know the name of the street you live on. When the need comes, these names roll off our tongues like they were our own brothers. I am writing about the famous Webster's Dictionary and Roget's Thesaurus.
When it refers to Webster's Dictionary, many people can respond immediately: Noah Webster. We are aware that he is the father of the dictionary. But who was he? What did he do for a living? When did he live?
Noah was born in 1758, graduated from Yale University in 1778 and later graduated from law school. He produced the first American dictionary in 1806 and published his important work An American Dictionary of the English Language in 1828. His interests led him to be a lexicographer (词典编纂者), textbook editor, author, Bible translator and spelling reformer. He also produced a large number of writings in medicine, mythology(神话), and the relationship of European and Asian languages. In addition, he founded the first New York daily newspaper in 1793. He died in 1843.
Roget's Thesaurus, it gives us the chance to learn about Roget, the man—Peter Mark Roget, and Who? What? When?
Englishman Peter Roget, MD, was born in 1779. He studied medicine and mathematics at the University of Edinburgh. He is considered as the creator of the first-ever thesaurus(同义词典). It has been called one of the three most important books ever printed, along with the Bible and Webster's Dictionary. He began his work Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases in 1805 but did not publish it until 1852—47 years later. In his lifetime, he became a famous lecturer and writer on anatomy(解剖学), geology(地质学), bees, and more . When Roget died in 1869 at age 90, his son, John, took over the Thesaurus and he gradually expanded.
So now you know the two famous books. Not enough information? As well-known humorist James Thurber suggested in the title of his 1941 magazine short story about baseball, You Could Look It Up!
94. The author states that \people . A. will learn from the two writers B. have ignored the two writers C. are familiar with the names D. know a lot about the two
95. According to the text, Noah Webster and Peter Roget are alike because they both . A. had many interests B. studied medicine C. were professors D. liked baseball 96. The purpose of the last paragraph is to . A. attract more readers B. come to a conclusion C. encourage further research D. provide background information D
British people have a lot of customs and habits. Being English learners, the middle school students should learn something about them. Three “INGS” are the most famous.
The three “INGS” refer to betting, drinking and tipping. The ending for each of them is ING.
As we know, the British people are great lovers of betting. The bet on many things, but they bet mainly on sports activities, such as horse-racing. It is a gambling(赌博) sport. This means that they will risk money on a race or on some other events of which the result is doubtful. Not only the amount of the betted money but also the number of the people who take part in it is very large.
Drinking is another habit of the British people. Most men have the habit of drinking beer, wine and so on. They also drink tea. Their drinking habits are so normal that they have it in pubs, inns and restaurants from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and again from 5:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. But sometimes the hours are different in different places. Every day they have two twenty-minute tea breaks; one is in the morning, the other in the afternoon, during which people stop their work and drink tea. It is reported that the British people use up a quarter of the world total of the tea goods. Tipping is the last of the three. It seems you should give a certain amount of money to the person who has served you. The number of the money depends on the type and extent of the service you have received. In the hotel, a service charge of 10 to 15 percent will be added to your bill, and you might give something extra to the porter who carried your bags, and you might give some more money to your taxi driver besides your fee. 97. Three “INGS” refer to .
A. playing, drinking, singing B. betting, drinking, tipping C. drinking, singing, tipping D. betting, tipping, playing 98. The underlined sentence means . A. British people love sport activities B. British people are good at betting C. British people are fond of betting D. British people like taking risks 99. According to the passage, which of the following is right? A.
