Sequoyah was born about 1770 in the village of Taskigi. He was a Cherokee Indian, and, along with his entire tribe, he was illiterate. As a result of a hunting accident that left him partially crippled, he enjoyed more leisure time than other tribesmen. And he began to ponder the idea that the Indian people might also come to possess the secret of the "talking leaf". Alone in the woods, he spent hours playing with pieces of wood or making odd little marks on one stone with another. Neither his wife nor his friends offered him any encouragement, and many ridiculed him. But Sequoyah was obsessed with his dream of developing an alphabet for the Cherokee language.
At first, Sequoyah tried to give every word a separate character, but eventually he realized the futility of such approach and settled on assigning one character to each sound. What he achieved twelve years later was a syllabary of eighty-six characters representing all of the sounds of Cherokee. In combination, they produced a written language of remarkable simplicity and effectiveness. It was so simple, in fact, that it could be learned in a few days. Within a matter of months, a population that had been entirely illiterate became almost entirely literate.
As a tribute to this great Indian educator, the tallest trees in North America, the Sierra Redwoods, were given the name Sequoyahs. [br] Why did Sequoyah spent so much time in the woods?
选项
A、Because he did not have any friends.
B、Because he liked to play.
C、Because he was experimenting with a system for an alphabet.
D、Because he was hunting for food.
答案
C
解析
本题是一道推断题。文中第一段倒数第三句说:“他独自呆在林中,花许多小时拿木片做游戏或用一块石头在另一块石头上做奇怪的小标记。”第一段最后一句说他执著于为切罗基语言发明字母表的理想。由此我们可以推断出塞阔亚长时间呆在林中的原因是在试验一种字母表。故选项C正确。
