We all use them, often without noticing what we39。re doing. I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said I39。ll pencil it in my diary, and my friend said You can ink it in, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one! Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising we39。d fax it immediately. Then along came , and we were soon all ing each other madly. How did we do without it? I can hardly imagine life without my daily s. Email reminds me, of course, of my puter and its software, which has produced another couple of new verbs. On my puter I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think I39。ll want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I don39。t bookmark。 I favorite—ing from favorite pages, so the verb es from an adjective not a noun. Now my children bought me a mobile phone, known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message for them on their phone. Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I haven39。t heard that verb yet, but I39。m sure I will soon. Perhaps I39。ll start using it myself!（1）I39。ll pencil it in my diary in the second paragraph probably means . was a firm arrangement prefers a pencil to a pen arrangement should be written as a diary was an uncertain arrangement（2）A website address can be easily found if it has been______. （3）Which of the following has not been used as a verb yet? （4）The best title for this passage is____. and Language. of the English language Technology and New words Verbs from Nouns【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）B（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，通過(guò)多個(gè)例子告訴我們很多名詞都已經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)換成了動(dòng)詞。說(shuō)明詞匯是并不斷的在變化。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one!”用鉛筆寫意為著不是最終的決定，只是臨時(shí)的決定，故選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“I favorite—ing from ‘favorite pages’, so the verb is derived from an adjective not a noun.”我把這些網(wǎng)站設(shè)置成我最喜歡的網(wǎng)站，通過(guò)這種方法可以讓我很快就找到這些網(wǎng)站。故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“and we were soon all ing each other madly. ”；第四段中的“I favorite—ing from ‘favorite pages’, so the verb is derived from an adjective not a noun.”；以及最后一段中的“I can message someone”, 說(shuō)明ACD都可以作為動(dòng)詞，只有B項(xiàng)文章沒(méi)有提及可以作為動(dòng)詞，故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。本文通過(guò)多個(gè)例子告訴我們很多名詞都已經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)換成了動(dòng)詞，故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。6．閱讀理解 LEGO began as one man39。s small business. But today, it is the second largest toy pany in the world. The LEGO pany sells small, brightly colored plastic bricks (積木). People can buy LEGO bricks in over 90 countries. Ole Kirk Kristiansen from Denmark began his own business in 1932. He made products (產(chǎn)品) from wood including colorful wooden toys. Kristiansen39。s young son, Godtfred, worked with him. Their business helped them make a lot of money. By 1934, the Kristiansens named their pany LEGO, which came from two Danish words, leg and godt, meaning play well. The LEGO pany grew slowly. But it continued to create excellent wooden toys. By 1947, the LEGO pany began using a new material (材料) to make their toys — plastic. One of
