15、rcent 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，名词的动词化就成了常见的现象，故C项正确。2What is most leading experts attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns?ACautious.BSatisfied.CDisappointed.

18、 About a New Verb?DAre There Any Rules for Verbing?B标题判断题。通读全文可知，文章首段以summer一词为例引出主题：名词的动词化；接着文章表述把名词动词化的做法很普遍，但有很多语法学家反对这种做法，而且这样做有时可能会让我们失望，因此我们要慎用名词的动词化。故B项最适合作本文标题。.完形填空(2020山东济南三模)The lions and leopards(豹) of a national park in India normally do not get along.They 1 each other for space and foo
