16.The guy who tried to edit English
The English vocabulary is not only huge,it's also full of words that mean practically tile same thing.Get,obtain,acquire.Shine,gleam,glow,sparkle.(36)A
That was the thinking of a British writer named C.K.Ogden,who in the 1930s proposed (提议) a new form of English with a vocabulary of just 850words.He called the project Basic English.(37)F
Ogden arrived at his 850-word list through experimentation,rephrasing texts over and over until he was satisfied.The words be finally included were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete.(38)D Because any verbal idea could be expressed with a small number of"operators"---words like come,go,get,take,have,make,be,and do---Ogden argued that most verbs were unnecessary.In Basic English,eat is"have a meal."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.(39)ERoosevelt,who expressed mild interest,joked that Churchill's famous speech about offering his"blood,toil,tears,and sweat"to his country wouldn't have been so exciting if he"had been able to offer the British people only blood,work,eye water,and face water,which I understand is the best that Basic English can do with five famous words."
(40)CChurchill didn't use it either.When seeking to express ourselves,we don't necessarily need fewer words; we need the right words.So it's to our benefit to have a large supply on hand.

A.Do we really need them all?
B.How many words are there in English?
C.Ogden himself didn't actually use Basic English.
D,Plenty of seemingly basic words did not make the list at all.
E.He also tried to persuade President Franklin Roosevelt to promote it.
F.He believed it would make the language more efficient and easier to learn.
G.Despite attention from world leaders,Basic English never got very far off the drawing board.

分析 本文是说明文.文章介绍了由奥格登创造出来的一种简化英语--基本英语.因为任何思想言语都可以用少量的词汇来表达,所以很多基础的词汇并没有出现在基本英语中.

解答 AFDEC
36.A承上启下题.第一段讲到英语的词汇量很大且有很多同 义词,第二段提到That was the thinking of a British writer 及奥格登将英语词汇量减到850个.由此可知,此处应该是问"我们确实需要那么多词汇 吗".故选A.
37.F联系上文题.根据前文可知奥格登创造了基本英语.F项:He believed it would make the language more efficient and easier to learn.他认为它使英语学起来更高效,更有用.符合文意.故选F.
38.D上下文串联.根据下文的Because any verbal idea could be expressed with a small number of"operators"可知因为任何思想言语都可以用少量的词汇来表达.D项:Plenty of seemingly basic words did not make the list at all.很多基础的词汇并没有出现在基本英语中.符合文意.故选D.
39.E联系下文题.根据下文的Roosevelt,who expressed mild interest,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.E项:He also tried to persuade President Franklin Roosevelt to promote it.符合文意.故选E.
40.C语境辨析题.根据下文的Churchill didn't use it either.可知丘吉尔也没有用它.C项:"奥格登并没有真正使用基本英语"符合语境.故选C.

点评 做此类题之前,应先把七个答案仔细读一遍,通过它们来猜测文章大意,然后进入文章进行一个一个地填写,若中间有些不会填写,可以先放下,最后再去处理它.做这类题,在理解的基础上,要讲一些技巧.做完后,千万不要忘记检查,上下文是否通顺.平时学生在阅读一定要注意文章上下文联系等.

8.When he donated his brain to science,he didn't realize what a valuable gift he shared with the world.His brain has recently been digitally imaged in 3D to ensure future generations have online access to his undiscovered treasures.
No,it's not Einstein's brain.His name was Henry Molaison.You may not have heard of his name but his contribution has influenced our life.Scientists are learning new ways for treating diseases such as Alzheimer's,mainly due to the research conducted on Henry.
Henry had part of his brain removed in 1953.However,his ability to form memories was unexpectedly changed.Henry could remember some events and people from his life before the operation,though he could not form new memories.If you met Henry,he would forget meeting you seconds later.Henry only lived in the moment,and nowhere else.The operation had removed key parts of the brain responsible for helping remember the details of our lives.Henry had no choice; his life existed only in the Now.Henry would have forgotten the entire meeting moments after it was over.
Unable to live a normal life,Henry engaged in simple daily activities such as shopping,watching television,and doing puzzles.He spent most of his time serving as the subject of countless research projects.
Henry could still learn new skills and tasks.He could retain theses skills,but had no idea where or when he had learned them.His brain has multiple memory systems.Memory is not a single process which occurs in the entire brain.Instead,various parts of the brain are responsible for our memory.Due to his inability to remember he'd done so many times before,Henry was a willing participant and never grew tired of serving the science community.
Giving scientists the map for learning how and where the brain forms memories is Henry's greatest contribution.This is the priceless gift that won't easily be forgotten.
