语法与词汇 8.By the end of the 19th century Arthur Rackham was devoting most of his time to book______, though he also drew for magazine.

A、 illustration
B、 designation
C、 restoration
D、 identification

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】本题考查名词词义辨析。根据空后的drew for magazine推断，Arthur Rackham(亚瑟．拉克姆)是位画家，空格所填名词应与图画有关，book illustration意为“图书插图；书籍插图”，故答案为[A]项。designation意为“名称，称号”。restoration意为“(旧建筑、家居的)修复，整修；(法律、税收、整体的)重新采用，恢复”。identification意为“身份证明；鉴定，验明，认出”。
