40、gden arrived at his 850word list through experimentation，rephrasing texts over and over until he was satisfied.The words he finally included were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete. 18 Because any verbal idea could be expressed with a small number of “operators”words like come，go，get，take
41、，have，make，be，and do.Ogden argued that most verbs were unnecessary.In Basic English，eat is“have a meal”，and forget is “go from memory”Winston Churchill was a fan of the concept as a way to get foreigners to speak English，and he encouraged the BBC to use it. 19 Roosevelt，who expressed mild interest，j

46、nterest”可知，此处是说丘吉尔也试图说服罗斯福总统推广基本英语。20C根据下文的“Churchill didnt use it either.”可知，“奥格登并没有真正使用基本英语”符合语境。.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)Do you know how many languages there are in the world?There are about 5，500，but many of them are not considered very 21 English is considered one of the most important languages
