22、he dictionary，and falling out of use constantly. _1_The short answer is，about a million. Doubt you know anything even close to a million words? That number includes any number of legal，medical，scientific，and mechanical terms that most people will never meet in their daytoday lives. _2_The “million”
23、number also includes the many，many words that have fallen out of use throughout the time. _3_ Consider the word “diddle”，a slang term from the 1700s that means “gin”. Many English speakers would recognize “gin”，but far fewer would recognize “diddle”If a million words is the absolute upper level，how
24、does that compare with the general vocabulary of most English speakers? _4_ Most Englishspeaking adults know between 20，000 and 30，000 words. And in addition to those many thousands of words，theyre probably able to comprehend a good 20，000 more just from context clues. _5_ You wont find a single dic

27、 still count.FIf you recognize these uncommon words，we sadly no longer use them.GThough removed from the dictionary，they were still counted as English words.语篇解读 本文为说明文。文章围绕英语中有多少个单词展开，解释了英语中大约一百万个单词的构成及我们很难找齐全的原因。1A考查承上启下句。根据下文答语“The short answer is，about a million”可知，空处应为问句，提问数量。故A项符合语境。2E考查细节支撑句。
28、根据前句可知很多专业词汇人们在日常生活中并不会遇到。故后句继续展开陈述，即使这些词汇不常见，但是它们仍然重要。3G考查细节支撑句。根据空前的“The million number. many words that have fallen out of use”可知，百万单词包含很多已经不再使用的单词。又根据设空后举的例子“gin”可知，这些词会被很多人认识。故这些不常用的词仍然被算入英语单词。4B考查细节支撑句。根据设空前的句子可知，一百万个单词绝对是需要很高的水平。但是这是不能与人们常用的词汇相比较的。又根据空后的“Most Englishspeaking adults know betwe
29、en 20，000 and 30，000 words.just from context clues”可知，尽管人们掌握的常用词达不到一百万那么多，但也不少，也是大家所想不到的。故选B。5D考查细节支撑句。根据设空后句可知一本词典不可能包括所有近百万的单词。故前句应为对一本词典中所包含单词的数量进行发问。故选D。.应用文写作(2020日照市重点中学5月联考)假定你是李华，在美国作交换生。得知当地为庆祝端午节要举办赛龙舟活动，你想邀请好友Louis一起报名参加，请给他写一封信，要点如下：1写信目的；2活动意义；3赛前准备。注意：1.写作词数应为80左右；2可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Dear
