27、As long as humans keep on human-ing, words will keep on words-ing. This week, Merriam-Webster announced it had added 455 new entries (词条) to the dictionary — including terms across cultural, political, and technical fields. A number of pandemic-specific terms, including “long COVID” and “super-spreader”, feel especially fitting of the times.
So how are new words picked? Throughout the year, Merriam-Webster editors search written materials to find words that have appeared online and in print. According to the publisher’s guidelines, new words are added depending on how often they are used and whether they are used among ordinary people.
Here are some of the examples:
dad bod (informal): a physique regarded as typical of an average father; especially: one that is slightly overweight and not extremely muscular.
long COVID: a condition that is marked by the presence of symptoms (such as fatigue, cough, shortness of breath, headache) which go on for an extended period of time (such as weeks or months) following a person’s initial recovery from COVID-19 infection.
super-spreader: an event or location at which a significant number of people contract the same communicable disease — often used before another noun (as in a “super-spreader event”). The term super-spreader originally referred to a highly contagious (传染性的) person capable of passing on a disease to many others, and now can also refer to a single place or occasion where many others are infected.
Here’s hoping “dad bod” comes up at the next Scripps National Spelling Bee, a popular competition in America. You can see more of the 455 new words on the Merriam-Webster’s website.
【1】What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A．These new words are decided by publishers.
B．These new words all come from the Internet.
C．These new words are often used by ordinary people.
D．These new words are mostly created during pandemics.
【2】How does the author develop the text?
A．By listing examples.
B．By making contrast.
C．By presenting numbers.
D．By drawing a conclusion.
【3】Why does the author write this text?
A．To explain some special terms.
B．To recommend Merriam-Webster.
C．To introduce Merriam-Webster’s new entries.
D．To explore the development of English words.
【4】Where is the text probably from?
A．A website.
B．A poster.
C．An advertisement.
D．A guideline.
28、Houses fall down. Trees fall over. Large holes form in the ground. Could Alaska be sinking? That’s what some villagers in Alaska have been asking themselves recently and scientists think they know why. Warmer temperatures may be causing Alaska’s frozen ground to thaw (解冻).
About 85 percent of Alaska’s land surface has permafrost (永久冻结带). Permafrost supports the ground above it—including trees, houses, and roads. But why is the permafrost thawing?
Some scientists say that human-caused pollution is leading to global warming. And most scientists agree that Alaska has been getting warmer. They say that the warmer temperature is causing permafrost to thaw in some areas. The thawing permafrost can cause problems for people, plants, and animals.
The collapsing (倒塌) is a problem in the villages in Alaska which are built on permafrost, and some of them may have to move to safer ground, where there is no permafrost.
The Alaskan town of Glennallen saw its old post office collapse. And, according to James Walters, a permafrost expert at the University of Northern Iowa, house-moving companies have been very busy.
“Melting permafrost can also destroy trees and forests,” Walters said. “When holes in the ground form, trees fall into them and die. This could turn a forest into a swamp (沼泽), and animals which need the forests will have to move elsewhere.”
“The melting could cause severe problems.” Walters says, “This could take hundreds of years, but in the end Alaska will look quite different from what it looks like now.”
【1】The main reason why permafrost is thawing is that ______.
A. the temperature in Alaska is rising
B. people in Alaska don’t take care of permafrost
C. too many houses are built on permafrost
D. people in Alaska polluted permafrost
【2】The following are the results of melting permafrost EXCEPT ______.
A. holes form in the ground
B. a forest will be turned into a swamp
C. some animals have to go elsewhere
D. more water will be needed by people and animals
【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. When permafrost melts, houses will fall down.
B. House-moving companies are busy because their houses are in danger.
C. To stop permafrost melting is a very difficult problem.
D. Most of Alaska’s land surface has permafrost.
【4】Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?
A. Alaska—A Frozen Land B. Pollution and Global Warming
C. Is Alaska Sinking? D. Alaska Is Polluted

MEMORANDUM (备忘录)
To: All members of the sales department
From: Annette Derringer
Re: Year-end party
Date: November 26
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is just a quick note to let you all know the arrangements for next month’s year-end party. As you know, the party will be held at the Green Vale Country Club, which we have reserved between 7:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on the evening of December 21st. I’ve received replies from almost all of you confirming attendance, but if you haven’t let me know yet, please do so in the next day or two. Tickets for all employees have been covered by the company.
The Green Vale manager has asked me to explain one or two things to those of you who have not been there before. Basically, there is sufficient parking space for only 100 vehicles, so they would like to ask those of you planning to drive, try to car-pool as much as possible. Also, the number of lockers available is small, so guests should try to keep belongings to a minimum.
Thanks in advance,
Annette

Annette,
This is to let you know that I will be able to attend the year-end party at the Green Vale Country Club on the 21st although I don’t think I will be able to arrive before 8:30. I was wondering if it would also be possible to bring a couple of guests. I know it is a bit of a last minute request, but my brother and his wife are planning to visit us at that time, and I know they’d love to see the Green Vale. If it is not a problem, then can you let me know how much I should pay for their tickets? Also, assuming this is OK, I was planning to drive down in a single car, to reduce the need for parking and also to allow us to keep our belongings in the car.
I have a couple of days off before the party, but I’ll be in my office until the 17th, so could you get back to me before then? Thanks a lot,
Kyle

31、短文填空
In January, eight gorillas (大猩猩) at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, in California, became the first great apes to test positive (阳性的) for COVID-19. “There was an immediate concern,” said Nadine Lamberski, the chief 【1】 (保护) and wildlife health officer at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. “We want to 【2】 (尽我们的职责) and take all measures to make sure that won’t happen again.”
So Lamberski made a decision. In February, she gave nine other great apes an experimental COVID-19 vaccine. Those nine became the first zoo animals in the United States to get the vaccine. Since then, the vaccine has been shipped out to zoo animals in 27 states. Lamberski got the COVID-19 vaccine from Zoetis, a company that makes medications for animals. Now the company reports that its vaccine is safe for other animals, too. It’s 【3】 (incredible) wonderful news for animals and those who care about them.
So far, Zoetis has donated its vaccine to nearly 70 zoos in the U.S. According to Lamberski, zoos are requesting the vaccine because their animals 【4】 (受到……的威胁) getting the virus from visitors and caretakers. “Animals in zoos are exposed to hundreds, if not thousands, of people a day,” Lamberski said.
