17、a noun and a verb.With such a clear definition, it was easy to spot the difference.Not so in adulthood, where we are expected to “foot” the bill, “chair” committees, and “dialogue”with political opponents.Chances are you didnt feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns.“The verbing of

26、名词的动词化就成了常见的现象，故C项正确。2A解析：观点态度题。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，针对名词的动词化这一现象，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。3D解析：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 fo
27、r 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。4B解析：标题归纳题。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。B(2021日照高三第一次校际联合考试)Tyler atte

47、”与C项中的“speaks differently in different situations”相呼应，说明同一个人在不同的情况下说话风格不同，故选C项。2F解析：根据空后一句“Even two best friends who work and live together may speak more formally to each other in the office.”可知，即使是一起工作和生活的两个最好的朋友，他们在办公室里交谈的方式也可能更正式；并结合该段所举的例子和第一段最后一句可知，本段应是讲述影响英语口语语体风格的因素之一谈话的地点，故F项与此处匹配。3G解析：根据空前
48、一句“People speak less formally to friends and more formally to strangers.”可知，人们对朋友说话不太正式，而对陌生人说话则比较正式。据此可推知，空处应是解释其原因，即因为他们已经和朋友分享了信息和经历，所以他们不需要解释太多。故G项正确。4E解析：根据空前两句可知，谈话的目的会影响人们说话的方式。一个人想要缓解受伤的情感，就会使用轻柔的语调。据此可推知，空处与此相对，说明想找麻烦的人说话语速快且声音大，故E项正确。5A解析：根据最后一段中的“Few speakers realize”“refuse to accept”可知，
49、A项“事实上，大部分人强烈地否认它(说话风格的改变)”符合语境。.语法填空(2021南京高三学情调研)Michael Todd was found in the same clothes every day.When the other kids began to notice that he 1._(wear) the same black pants and blue shirt day after day, Todd, 2._freshman at a high school in Memphis, became the target of offensive remarks and l

55、hman的发音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a。3But/Yet解析：考查连词。上句说高一新生迈克尔托德成为其他孩子嘲笑和言语攻击的对象；该句说迈克尔托德对此几乎什么都不能做。由此可知，空处前后为转折关系，故用But/Yet。4to buy解析：考查非谓语动词。afford to do sth.为固定用法，意为“能够做某事”。5being called解析：考查语态和非谓语动词。根据该句中的“by the larger boys”可知，该处用被动语态；介词后接名词、代词或动词ing形式等，此处作about的宾语，空处应用动词ing形式，故用being called。6apology解析：考查名词
56、。冠词后接名词，根据冠词an可知，空处用名词形式。make an apology to sb.for sth.为固定用法，意为“因某事向某人道歉”。7it解析：考查代词。根据语境可知，空处指代该句中的“laughing at you”，作make的宾语，故用代词it。8which解析：考查定语从句。分析该句结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为表示物的a large bag，关系词作介词inside的宾语，故用which引导该定语从句。9Completely解析：考查副词。副词修饰形容词，空处修饰形容词shocked，故用副词形式。10Reflecting解析：考查非谓语动词。分析该句结构和语境可知，主语he和动词reflect之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词形式。
