【解析】

試題分析本文介紹了“百科全書”的出處、作者以及內(nèi)容。

【1】句意:它意味著“通識教育”。 因為It為第三人稱單數(shù),所以謂語動詞用三單形式。故為么means。

【2】句意:百科全書是一種參考書。a kind of一種……。

【3】句意:百科全書是一種參考書,并且囊括了要么各個知識領(lǐng)域的信息,要么一種專門知識領(lǐng)域的信息。eitheror…二者擇一的,要么……要么……。

【4】句意:大概2000年前人們開始用它。此處應(yīng)用動詞的過去式,即begin的過去式began。

【5】句意:最古老的人是一個博物學(xué)家。前一句說人們2000年前開始用百科全書,這些人中最古老的一個人應(yīng)用形容詞最高級表示,且前面有the,故為oldest。

【6】句意它的作者是老普林尼。本句話為被動語態(tài),It在這里指代the encyclopaedia。

【7】句意:一些百科全書僅由一冊組成,但其他的一些有很多冊。make up of……組成。

【8】句意:一些百科全書僅由一冊組成,但其他的一些有很多冊。Others是other的復(fù)數(shù)形式,泛指“另外幾個,其余的”。前半句說了“一些百科全書”,后半句應(yīng)說“其余的百科全書”。

【9】句意:也有一些在線的百科全書,例如維基百科。There be句型采用就近一致原則,由后面some online encyclopaedias可知,此處用are。

【10】句意:他們對尋求信息的人來說是免費的。look for尋找。單個現(xiàn)在分詞作定語,放在所修飾詞前面,分詞短語則放在所修飾詞的后面,此處的looking for分詞短語,修飾people,放在其后面。
