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] The Cherokee alphabet________.
选项
A、had a separate character for each word
B、had a separate character for each sound
C、was very complicated to learn
D、was not accepted by the tribe
答案
B
解析
本题可通过排除法找到答案。文中第二段第一句中说:“起初,塞阔亚试图让每个词都对应单独的一个音符,但最后他认识到这种做法是无效的,于是他确定了一个音符代表一种声音。”由此可见,选项A是塞阔亚起初的想法,不是他最终创制的字母表,故可排除。文中第二段倒数第二句说:“事实上,它是如此简单,人们几天之内就可以学会。”因此选项C说它复杂是不正确的,应排除。文中第二段最后一句说:“数月之内,整个部落的人都能识字了。”因此选项D说它没有被部落接受是不正确的,故可排除。当然,通过对第二段第一句的准确理解,我们同样可判断出B为正确答案。
