試題分析：文章大意：本文介紹了蘇格蘭最著名的詩(shī)人——羅伯特伯恩斯。
小題1:in。本題考查介詞，in a traditional style以傳統(tǒng)的方式。在 1783 年他開始創(chuàng)作詩(shī)歌中使用埃爾郡方言的蘇格蘭人的傳統(tǒng)風(fēng)格。
小題2:locally。修飾動(dòng)詞receive，用其副詞修飾。這里指羅伯特伯恩斯這些詩(shī)歌被當(dāng)?shù)厝藦V泛的接受。
小題3:which。句中先行詞為poems，在非限定性定語(yǔ)從句中作主語(yǔ)，故用關(guān)系詞which。最主要地，詩(shī)歌使他在蘇格蘭一夜成名。
小題4:However�？疾檫B詞。這里為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，且用逗號(hào)隔開，故用however，注意首字母大寫。然而，他的名聲并非和金錢相伴的。
小題5:it�？疾榇�詞。這里it作形式賓語(yǔ)，真正的賓語(yǔ)為不定式to return to farming.。他發(fā)現(xiàn)回到農(nóng)場(chǎng)是必要的。
小題6:when。考查連詞。when當(dāng)......時(shí)候。當(dāng)他發(fā)現(xiàn)在農(nóng)場(chǎng)也是無(wú)意義的，1789年他進(jìn)入政府工作。
小題7:dating。短語(yǔ)date back to追溯到，在句中作定語(yǔ)，故用現(xiàn)在分詞。追溯到他的童年在農(nóng)場(chǎng)艱苦的工作條件所導(dǎo)致的。
小題8:to support。這里用不定式表示目的性。錢開始從蘇格蘭各地涌來(lái)，來(lái)?yè)狃B(yǎng)他的遺孀和孩子。
小題9:is celebrated。根據(jù)后面的by Burns clubs across the world可知用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。如今，他的記憶被全世界伯恩斯所紀(jì)念。
小題10:an   考查冠詞。由于unofficial是以元音字母開頭，故用不定冠詞an。他的生日是蘇格蘭和與蘇格蘭血統(tǒng)的人非官方的"國(guó)慶日"。
