举例二:Q 5 / T 1 / Cambridge 5
… Johnson did not have a 5_________ available to him, but eventually produced definitions of inexcess of 40,000 words written down in 80 large notebooks.
由题目中出现的数字40,000 可以定位到原文中page 17 的第二段Line 4:

再由题目分析得知:所需答案为可数名词,并且是Johnson 在编撰词典的工作中不具备的(did not … available),而文中括号里'without a library to hand'正好契合了该信息点,还有a 这个信号词进一步确定,答案就非它莫属了:library
