Question

English words don’t stay the same. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Different words come into use, or old words are used in a new way.
English can be changed by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico and“tea”came from China and so on. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words are formed by adding two words together. “Countryside” and “earthquake” are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of old words. The word  “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” was made by cutting off the front part of “airplane”. The names of people and products can become new words, too. Our “sandwich” was named after a man called Sandwich and “sello tape”(透明膠帶) was a name given by the company that first made the product

試題分析：62.根據(jù)People need new words for new ideas and new inventions.可知選D。
63.根據(jù)“tea”came from China可知選A。
64.短文中提到四種構(gòu)詞途徑：一是從其它語言引進單詞，如：tomato；二是合成詞，如：countryside；三是縮寫詞，如：photo；四是派生詞，如：sandwich。所以選B。
65.本文主要接好了英語單詞的發(fā)展變化，重點介紹了英語單詞的集中形成方法，故選A，英語是一直發(fā)展變化的。
考點：關(guān)于英文單詞的說明文
點評：本文介紹了英文單詞的發(fā)展變化的問題，重點介紹了英語中四種構(gòu)詞方法。動筆前先要讀懂全文，然后帶著問題再讀全文，找出關(guān)鍵句子完成閱讀。有些問題需要自己分析總結(jié)，注意從關(guān)鍵單詞提取重要信息，如64小題就需要良好的分析總結(jié)能力。
