16.The guy who tried to edit English
The English vocabulary is not only huge,it's also full of words that mean practically tile same thing.Get,obtain,acquire.Shine,gleam,glow,sparkle.(36)A
That was the thinking of a British writer named C.K.Ogden,who in the 1930s proposed (提議) a new form of English with a vocabulary of just 850words.He called the project Basic English.(37)F
Ogden arrived at his 850-word list through experimentation,rephrasing texts over and over until he was satisfied.The words be finally included were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete.(38)D Because any verbal idea could be expressed with a small number of"operators"---words like come,go,get,take,have,make,be,and do---Ogden argued that most verbs were unnecessary.In Basic English,eat is"have a meal."Forget is"go from memory."
Winston Churchill was a fan of the concept as a way to get foreigners to speak English,and he encouraged the BBC to use it.(39)ERoosevelt,who expressed mild interest,joked that Churchill's famous speech about offering his"blood,toil,tears,and sweat"to his country wouldn't have been so exciting if he"had been able to offer the British people only blood,work,eye water,and face water,which I understand is the best that Basic English can do with five famous words."
(40)CChurchill didn't use it either.When seeking to express ourselves,we don't necessarily need fewer words; we need the right words.So it's to our benefit to have a large supply on hand.

A.Do we really need them all?
B.How many words are there in English?
C.Ogden himself didn't actually use Basic English.
D,Plenty of seemingly basic words did not make the list at all.
E.He also tried to persuade President Franklin Roosevelt to promote it.
F.He believed it would make the language more efficient and easier to learn.
G.Despite attention from world leaders,Basic English never got very far off the drawing board.

分析 本文是說明文.文章介紹了由奧格登創(chuàng)造出來的一種簡化英語--基本英語.因?yàn)槿魏嗡枷胙哉Z都可以用少量的詞匯來表達(dá),所以很多基礎(chǔ)的詞匯并沒有出現(xiàn)在基本英語中.

解答 AFDEC
36.A承上啟下題.第一段講到英語的詞匯量很大且有很多同 義詞,第二段提到That was the thinking of a British writer 及奧格登將英語詞匯量減到850個.由此可知,此處應(yīng)該是問"我們確實(shí)需要那么多詞匯 嗎".故選A.
37.F聯(lián)系上文題.根據(jù)前文可知奧格登創(chuàng)造了基本英語.F項(xiàng):He believed it would make the language more efficient and easier to learn.他認(rèn)為它使英語學(xué)起來更高效,更有用.符合文意.故選F.
38.D上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)下文的Because any verbal idea could be expressed with a small number of"operators"可知因?yàn)槿魏嗡枷胙哉Z都可以用少量的詞匯來表達(dá).D項(xiàng):Plenty of seemingly basic words did not make the list at all.很多基礎(chǔ)的詞匯并沒有出現(xiàn)在基本英語中.符合文意.故選D.
39.E聯(lián)系下文題.根據(jù)下文的Roosevelt,who expressed mild interest,可知,此處是說丘吉爾也試圖說服羅斯?偨y(tǒng)推廣基本英語.E項(xiàng):He also tried to persuade President Franklin Roosevelt to promote it.符合文意.故選E.
40.C語境辨析題.根據(jù)下文的Churchill didn't use it either.可知丘吉爾也沒有用它.C項(xiàng):"奧格登并沒有真正使用基本英語"符合語境.故選C.

點(diǎn)評 做此類題之前,應(yīng)先把七個答案仔細(xì)讀一遍,通過它們來猜測文章大意,然后進(jìn)入文章進(jìn)行一個一個地填寫,若中間有些不會填寫,可以先放下,最后再去處理它.做這類題,在理解的基礎(chǔ)上,要講一些技巧.做完后,千萬不要忘記檢查,上下文是否通順.平時學(xué)生在閱讀一定要注意文章上下文聯(lián)系等.

8.When he donated his brain to science,he didn't realize what a valuable gift he shared with the world.His brain has recently been digitally imaged in 3D to ensure future generations have online access to his undiscovered treasures.
No,it's not Einstein's brain.His name was Henry Molaison.You may not have heard of his name but his contribution has influenced our life.Scientists are learning new ways for treating diseases such as Alzheimer's,mainly due to the research conducted on Henry.
Henry had part of his brain removed in 1953.However,his ability to form memories was unexpectedly changed.Henry could remember some events and people from his life before the operation,though he could not form new memories.If you met Henry,he would forget meeting you seconds later.Henry only lived in the moment,and nowhere else.The operation had removed key parts of the brain responsible for helping remember the details of our lives.Henry had no choice; his life existed only in the Now.Henry would have forgotten the entire meeting moments after it was over.
Unable to live a normal life,Henry engaged in simple daily activities such as shopping,watching television,and doing puzzles.He spent most of his time serving as the subject of countless research projects.
Henry could still learn new skills and tasks.He could retain theses skills,but had no idea where or when he had learned them.His brain has multiple memory systems.Memory is not a single process which occurs in the entire brain.Instead,various parts of the brain are responsible for our memory.Due to his inability to remember he'd done so many times before,Henry was a willing participant and never grew tired of serving the science community.
Giving scientists the map for learning how and where the brain forms memories is Henry's greatest contribution.This is the priceless gift that won't easily be forgotten.
