33、nclude“long time no see” and “no can do”答案及解析：【语篇解读】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了牛津英语词典将“Add Oil”及其他中式英语收录其中。1excitement考查名词。句意：“加油”是汉语“jiyu”的直译，用于表达对他人的鼓励、兴奋或支持。结合“encouragement”及“support”可知，此处应填名词作宾语。故填excitement。2to encourage考查非谓语动词。“鼓励朋友”是“它被用在体育活动中”的目的，用动词不定式to encourage。3to考查固定搭配。句意：牛津英语词典现在添加了“加油”一词。add to为
34、固定搭配，意为“加入，添加”。故填to。4earliest考查形容词最高级。句意：牛津英语词典将该短语描述为“主要是香港英语”，并注意到它最早出现在1964出版的一本书中。结合句意，最早出现用形容词最高级形式，early的最高级形式为earliest。5was invented考查时态、语态和主谓一致。during the 1960s表示发生在过去，主语the phrase为被发明，且为单数，用invent的一般过去时的被动语态。故填was invented。6adding考查非谓语动词。句意：汉语的意思是加油，意思是给发动机添加油/燃料来使它燃烧工作。imply为动词，意为“意味着”，其后接
35、动名词作宾语，故填adding。7it考查代词。句意：汉语的意思是加油，意思是给发动机添加油/燃料来使它燃烧工作。结合前文，发动机燃烧工作，it代指发动机。故填it。8commonly考查副词。修饰动词use用副词，故填commonly。9why考查定语从句。句意：在香港这样的地方，在朋友之间普遍使用汉英混合词，英语短语经常取代汉字，这就是该短语被添加到字典中的原因。此处是限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the reason，从句成分齐全，关系词在从句中作原因状语，应使用why引导。故填why。10have entered考查时态及主谓一致。“好久不见”和“做不到”已经进入日常的英语中，发生在过去且对现在造成影响，用现在完成时，主语为关系代词that，指代表示复数意义的other Chinese phrases，故填have entered。
