Answer 1

分析 歐•亨利是一位美國短篇小說家的筆名，他的真名叫威廉•西德里•波特，1862年出生于北卡羅來納州．本文講述了他的生活經(jīng)歷以及作品的特點．

解答 76．used；考查分詞作定語，name與動詞use是動賓關(guān)系，故用過去分詞短語作后置定語．
77．himself；考查反身代詞，結(jié)合上下文分析句意為"他沒有上過幾年學(xué)，但卻自學(xué)成材"，teach oneself 是固定短語，意為"自學(xué)"，故此處用himself作teach的賓語．
78．where；考查定語從句，這是一個定語從句，修飾Texas，關(guān)系副詞where作定語從句的狀語．
79．missing；考查非謂語動詞，go missing意為"不見，丟失"．
80．to have stolen；考查非謂語動詞，be believed to do意為"被認(rèn)為做某事"，根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知此處強調(diào)動作的后跟，故用完成時態(tài)，故答案為to have stolen．
81．was sent；考查時態(tài)和語態(tài)，本文講述過去的事情，主語he和動詞是動賓關(guān)系，故用一般過去時的被動語態(tài)was sent．
82．the；考查冠詞，因為后面有介詞短語in prison加以限制，故此處用定冠詞表示特指，特指"在監(jiān)獄的那三年"．
83．mostly；考查副詞，此處用副詞作狀語，修飾動詞wrote．
84．a(chǎn)s；考查連詞，simple as the tales were是個表語倒裝，as表示盡管，結(jié)構(gòu)是：形容詞、名詞+as+主語+系動詞．
85．with；考查介詞，此處用介詞with表示方式，意為"以…"．
