9、 OConner,a former editor at The New York Times Book Review.Experts estimated that 20 percent of all English verbs were originally nouns.And the phenomenon seems to be snowballing.Since 1900,about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns.Even though the conversion (转化) is quite universal,plen

12、 for verbing? Benjamin Dreyer,copy chief at Random House,doesnt offer a rule,but suggests that people think twice about “verbifying” a noun if its easily replaced by an already existing popular verb.Make sure its descriptive but not sillysounding,he says.In the end,however,style is subjective.The ea
13、sy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries;it is one of the processes that make English “English”Not every coinage (新创的词语) passes into general use,but as for trying to end verbing altogether,forget it.【语篇解读】在英语中把名词动词化的做法很普遍,但是很多语法学家反对这种做法,而且有时这样做也可能会让我们失望,因此我们要慎用名

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. DUnconcerned.A推理判断题。根据第四段的内容,尤其是“Many nouns lately have been pressed into se

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
