【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Millions of people all over the world use the word OK．In fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world．OK means all right or acceptable．It expresses agreement or approval．

【1】 Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw（喬克托語(yǔ)）．The Choctaw word “okeh” means the same as the American word okay．Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century．

But many people doubt this．Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word “OK” in reports published in the 1960s．He said the word began being used in the 1830s． 【2】 Some foreign-born people wrote “ all correct” as “o-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t”, and used the letters OK．Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago．They said he put the first letters of his name---O and K---on each object people gave him to send on the train．

【3】 The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840．They called their group the OK club．The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin was born---Old Kinderhook, New York．

Then there is the expression A-OK．It is a space-age expression．It was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard．He was the first American to be launched into space．His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned．Shepard reported, “Everything is A-OK.” 【4】 One story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received．

There are also funny ways to say okay． 【5】 These expressions were first used in the 1930s．Today, a character on the American television series “The Simpsons” says it another way．He says okely-doke．

A．Some people say okey-dokey or okey-doke．

B．Still others say a political organization invented the word．

C．Therefore, it has become popular in that area from then on．

D．But many experts don’t agree on what the expression means．

E．Still, language experts do not agree about where the word came from.

F．It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the word “all correct”.

G．However, some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age．

【解析】

試題分析: 有些人說(shuō)OK這個(gè)詞是世界上用的最多的，OK的意思是：好的或可接受的，表示同意或批準(zhǔn)。這個(gè)詞怎么來(lái)的，說(shuō)法不一。

【1】E 考查對(duì)上下文語(yǔ)境的理解�？蘸蟮囊馑际牵河行┤苏f(shuō)它來(lái)自美洲印第安人說(shuō)喬克托語(yǔ)的部落。下一段開(kāi)頭But many people doubt this．就說(shuō)明不同的人觀點(diǎn)不一。所以這里選E（盡管如此，語(yǔ)言專家就這個(gè)詞的來(lái)源意見(jiàn)不一。）。

【2】F考查對(duì)上下文語(yǔ)境的理解�？涨暗囊馑际牵哼@個(gè)詞在1830年才開(kāi)始被使用�？蘸蟮囊馑际牵阂恍┩鈬�(guó)出生的人把all correct寫(xiě)成-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t 然后用字母OK代替，所以這里選F（它是all correct的縮寫(xiě)。）與上下文一致。

【3】B考查對(duì)上下文語(yǔ)境的理解�？蘸蟮囊馑际牵�the OK Club組織在1840年支持Martin Van Buren當(dāng)總統(tǒng)，OK取自Martin Van Buren出生的小鎮(zhèn)--- Old Kinderhook，所以這里選B（還有人說(shuō)發(fā)明這個(gè)詞的是一個(gè)政治組織。）與上下文一致。

【4】G 考查對(duì)上下文語(yǔ)境的理解。空前的意思是：它是太空時(shí)代的熱詞，宇航員按計(jì)劃完成，Shepard 就報(bào)告說(shuō)：一切A-OK.空后的意思是：有個(gè)故事說(shuō)，它第一次用于初期用電話告訴操作員收到了一條消息。所以這里選G（然而，一些專家不認(rèn)為和太空時(shí)代有關(guān)。）與上下文一致。

【5】A 考查對(duì)上下文語(yǔ)境的理解�？涨暗囊馑际牵阂灿幸恍┯腥さ恼f(shuō)法；空后的意思是：20世紀(jì) 30年代首次使用了這個(gè)詞。今天，在美國(guó)電視連續(xù)劇《辛普森一家》 中的一個(gè)主角說(shuō)okely-doke。所以這里選A（一些人說(shuō)okey-dokey或者 okey-doke。）與上下文一致。
