23、 grammarians.BIt is more commonly accepted by children than adults.CIt hasnt been a rare phenomenon since last century.DIt is easily replaced by existing verbs in practice.C细节理解题。根据第三段尾句“Since 1900，about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns”可知，自1900年以来，大约40%的新动词来自名词。据此可知，自上个世纪以来，名词的动词化就成
24、了常见的现象，故C项正确。【干扰项分析】根据第四段第一句“Even though the conversion(转化)is quite universal，plenty of grammarians object to the practice”可知，虽然转化相当普遍，但是大量的语法学家反对这种做法，故A项与文意相反；B、D两项文中没有提及。5What is most leading experts attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns?ACautious.BSatisfied.CDisappointed.DUnconcer
25、ned.A推理判断题。根据第四段的内容，尤其是“Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs.Not all are bad，but all are suspect”可知，针对名词的动词化，两位权威的语法学家认为并非所有这种做法都是不好的，但所有都是不可靠的。据此可推知，权威专家对把名词动词化的做法持谨慎的态度，故A项正确。6What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns?APredictable.BPracticable.CApproaching.DImp
26、ossible.D推理判断题。根据尾段尾句“Not every coinage(新创的词语)passes into general use，but as for trying to end verbing altogether，forget it”可知，不是每个新创的词语都会普遍使用，但是至于试图结束名词的动词化，那就算了吧。据此可推知，作者认为结束名词的动词化是不可能的，故D项正确。A项意为“可预见的”，B项意为“可行的，行得通的”，都与文意不符。7What is the best title for the text?AAre 40 Percent of All New Verbs fro

33、assGIn birds，migration means twoway journeysonward journey and backward journey【语篇解读】候鸟每年要进行两次迁徙，行程数千公里，它们靠山脉、河流、天空中的星辰以及感知地球的隐形磁场来找到正确的方向。研究表明，候鸟天生就知道家的方向。1A第一段讲到你驾车迷失方向的情景，空处应是与此相关，此处表示你仰望天空，通过星辰找到方向，故A项衔接上下文。2C空前一句表述候鸟能在最漆黑的夜晚远距离找到它们的方向是它们的第二个本性，空处应是解释其原因，故C项“在某种程度上，它们通过读懂天空的方向来找它们的方向”符合语境。3E空后的“
34、like mountain ranges and rivers”与E项中的“familiar landmarks”相呼应。E项(鸟儿在飞行途中利用熟悉的地标)与“如山脉、河流来帮助选定方向”相衔接，故选E项。4F空后的“This compass”是F项中的“inner compass”的复现。代入F项(候鸟宝宝已经具备了一种现有的内在指南针)，其与空后(这种指南针引领它们进行第一次秋季迁徙)语意相连贯。故选F项。5B空前一句表述候鸟宝宝具备的内在指南针引领它们进行第一次秋季迁徙，故B项(所以，候鸟天生知道回家的路)符合语境。.语法填空Experiences are acquired throu

39、非谓语动词。be based on是固定用法，意为“以为依据”，故此处可为形容词短语作后置定语；另外，base sth.on sth.“以为依据”也为固定用法，此处“our beliefs，fears and opinions”与base为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词形式based。2what考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处引导主语从句，在从句中作主语，表示“的事物”，故填what。注意：that引导主语从句时，在从句中不充当成分。3ourselves考查代词。此处表示“我们对自己的看法”，故填反身代词ourselves。4or考查固定搭配。either.or.是固定搭配，意为“要么要么
40、”，符合语境。5By考查介词。此处表示通过过真实的生活，做你自己，你创造了一个关于你自己的形象。故用介词by，意为“通过”。6to understand考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处考查不定式作真正主语，it作形式主语的用法，故填to understand。7growth考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空前的形容词性物主代词your的后面应跟名词，故填growth。8determines考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处应与上下文用的一般现在时保持一致，且句子的主语是第三人称单数，故应填determines。9confident考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，空前的系动词be后应跟形容词作表语，故应填confident。10circumstances考查名词的单复数。根据语境可知，此处表示各种情况，故用circumstances。
