C
解析
推理判断题。根据第二段的“He
looked
kind
of
embarrassed,and
said
he
had
made
up
this
word...been
using
it
all
the
time.”可知,这个词可以解释果汁喷到眼睛里的具体场景,而且父亲一直在用orbisculate这个词,说明这个词很实用。故选C项。ⅠⅡⅢ2.What’sthefunctionofparagraph4?A.Presentingsomeevidence.B.Addingsomebackground.C.Introducinganewtopic.D.Makingacomparison.答案
B
解析
推理判断题。根据第四段可知,本段讲述了如何才能把一个新词添加到《韦氏词典》中,即讲述了希拉里想把父亲创造的词纳入《韦氏词典》这件事的背景。ⅠⅡⅢ3.WhydidHilarybuildawebsite?A.Tomakeaprofit.B.Toappreciatefriendsandstrangers.C.Tomemorizeherfather.D.Togetthewordofficiallyrecognized.答案
D
解析
推理判断题。根据第五段的“She
built
a
website
and
encouraged
people
to
use
the
word
publicly
enough.”可知,希拉里建立网站是为了让人们多使用这个词汇,因为上文提到只有足够多的使用量才能使这个词被官方认可,推断出希拉里建立网站的最终目的是为了使这个词获得官方认可。ⅠⅡⅢ4.What’sthebesttitleofthetext?A.Warning:ThisFruitMayOrbisculateB.Love:ADaughterRecallsHerFatherC.Wonder:AWordWentintoDictionaryD.Memory:ACreativeandInventiveFatherⅠⅡⅢ答案

day
Hilary
Krieger
was
sitting...she
recalls.”和最后一段的“Even
if
the
word
doesn’t
make
it
into
the
dictionary,Hilary
feels
her
effort
to
get
her
father’s
word
into
the
dictionary...”可知,全文围绕着希拉里和父亲经常使用orbisculated这个他独创的词汇及她在父亲去世后为了使orbisculated这个词进入《韦氏词典》而做出的努力,推断出全文是围绕orbisculated这个词展开的,A项“警告:这种水果汁会喷入你的眼睛里”,可作为本文的标题。故选A项。ⅠⅡⅢBTheEnglishlanguageisconstantlyevolving(演变),andthereareagreatnumberofwordsouttherethatdon’tmeanwhattheyusedto.We’retalkingaboutcommonwordsthatyouuseeveryday.Wetakethemforgranted,butatsomepointinhistory,theirmeaningstotallychanged,andtheyalloriginallymeantsomethingmuchdifferent.Generallyspeaking,theword“nice”isonewithgoodmeanings.However,backinthelate12thcentury,ifsomeonesaidyouwere“nice”,itwasfarfromnice.Waybackwhen,“nice”wasusedtomean“foolish”and“stupid”.Lateroninthe13thcentury,“nice”cametomean“shy”,andduringthe14thcentury,itevenmeant“beingcareful”.Butfinallyinthe18thcentury,itchangedtothekinderdefinitionweknowtoday,andeversincethen,peoplehavebeenusingitinapopularway.ⅠⅡⅢAllofusgetsadeverynowandthen.It’sanormalpartoflife.Alovedonepassesaway,wegetoverlookedforthatbigpromotionatwork,orthegrocerystoreisoutofyourfavoriteflavorofHawaiianPunch.Theseareallthingsthatcanmakeusverysad.However,onceuponatime,“sad”hadaverydifferentdefinition.Backinthe1300s,itwastheperfectwordifyou’deatentoomuchfoodatdinner.Throughtheyears,thedefinitionof“sad”changedto“heavy”andthen“tired”,allbeforeevolvingintothewordweusetoday.ⅠⅡⅢ“Awful”isperhapstheonewordonthislistthatshouldhavestuckwithitsoriginalmeaning.Whiletodayitmeans“bad”or“terrible”,“awful”usedtomean“awe-inspiring”or“fullofawe”.Inotherwords,ifsomethingwas“awful”,thenitwasworthyofrespectorevenfear.However,overtheyears,“awful”hascometohaveacompletelyoppositemeaning.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要以三个单词为例说明英语中有很多单词的意思和以前不一样。

C
解析
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Later

in
the
13th
century,
‘nice’came
to
mean‘shy’,and
during
the
14th
century,it
even

in
the
1300s,it

A
解析

English
language
is
constantly
evolving,and
there
are
a
great
number
of
words
out
there
that
