1.Words which we want students to understand, but which they will not need to use themselves. We call this active vocabulary. ()此题为判断题(对，错)。

2.Passage FiveIn every language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, consist of the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words with which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we learn, that is to say, from the members of our own family and from our familiar associates, and which we should know and use even if we could not read or write. They concern the common things of life, and are the goods in trade of all those who speak the language. Such words may be called "popular", since they belong to the whole people; and are not the exclusive possession of a limited class.On the other hand, our language includes a large number of words which are comparatively seldom used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little occasion to use them at home or in the market-place. Our first acquaintance with them comes not from our mother's lips or from the talk of our school-mates, but from books that we read, lectures that we bear, or the more formal conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular topic in a style. raised above the habitual level of everyday life. Such words are called "learned". And the distinction between them and "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of the language.51. One class of words can be learned ______.A. through everyday lifeB. without too much practiceC. from popular songsD. with a dictionary in one's hand

4.How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar. What is true about words?：A、They are used to express feelings onlyB、They can not be written downC、They are simply soundsD、They are mysterious.

    _________(53)
    A:even
    B:despite
    C:even if
    D:in spite of

    答案：C
    解析：
    介词with + which引导的定语从句，become acquainted with sth.“对······熟悉、了解”。
    根据前面的daily conversation以及后面的并列成分our family associates可以推断第一种词汇就是我们和家人朋友日常交流中使用的词汇。members of family“家人”。
    even if“即使”。even“尽管”。despite/in spite of“尽管”。本句话的意思是：这种词汇即使我们是文盲也知道如何使用。
    concern“有关于”。本句话的意思是：这些词汇都和生活中的常见物有关，是各行各业使用该语言的所有人的主要词汇。
    at large“一般的，总的”。at most“至多，不超过”。in public“公开的”。at best'‘充其量，至多”。该句话的意思是：这种词汇也许可以被称为“普通词”，因为它们为普通人所用，而不是专属于某个特定的阶层。
    share“份额，一份”。right“权利”。privilege“特权”。possession“财产”。该句意思同上。句子主语为such words（这样的词汇），只有share和它无论是搭配还是意思都最合适。
    comprise“由······组成”。consist的用法一般是consist of sth.，意思是“由······组成”。constitute“构成，组成”。compose的用法一般是be composed of意思是“由······组成”。因此只能选B。
    该篇文章主要介绍两种不同的词汇，而且形成一种对照。第一种词汇是日常生活中频繁使用渐渐熟悉的，即使我们是文盲也能理解。第二种词汇只有受过教育的人知道。由此推断第二种词汇在日常对话中的使用频率和第一种词汇相比肯定很低。因此这里选seldom（很少）。
    原因同上。和第一种词汇使用的场合地点形成鲜明对照，第二种词汇没有必要在市场或者家中使用。因此这里选necessity（必要性）。
    first“最初的”;pflmary“主要的”;principal“主要的”;pflor“先前的”。该句是介绍我们最初是从哪里学会第二种词汇的。
    lips“嘴唇”;tips“末端，顶端”;mouth“嘴巴”;mother's tongue“母语”。该句意思是：我们对这些词的最初了解并非从母亲口中也不是从和同学的谈话中得知，而是······
    这里是not...but...（不是······而是······）的结构。
    attend lectures为固定搭配，意思是“上课”。
    above the habitual extent（范围）of everyday life意思是：超出日常生活范围的。border“国界，边界”;link“联系，纽带”;degree“程度”。
    distinction between sth.and sth．的意思是：······和······之间的区别；diversion“转移，消遣”;diversity“种类，多样性”;similarity“类似”。本句意思是：这些词被称为“书面词”，书面词和普通词之间的区别对于我们理解语言过程意义重大。

    问答题
    The grammatical words which play so large a part in English grammarare for the most part sharply and obviously different from the lexical words. Arough and ready difference which may seem the most obvious is that grammatical　　　 1．_______words have “less meaning”, but in fact some grammarians have called them　　　　　 2．_______“empty” words as opposed in the “full” words of vocabulary. But this is a rather 3．_______misled way of expressing the distinction. Although a word like theis not the name　　4．_______of something as man is, it is very far away from being meaningless; there is a　　　 5．_______sharp difference in meaning between “man is vile” and “the man is vile”, yet theis the single vehicle of this difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words　　 6．_______differ considerably among themselves as the amount of meaning they have even in th 　7．_______lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been “little words.”But size is by no mean a good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words 　　8．_______of English, when we consider that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car.　　　　9．_______Apart from this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what some people say:we certainly do create a great number of obscurity when we omit them. This　　　　　10．_______is illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose of tele-grams and newspaper headlines.

    正确答案：

    2.but改为and 根据上下文可知这里是递进关系。
    3.in改为to     as opposed to为固定短语,“与…相反”。
    4.misled改为misleading     mislead用来修饰way,要用现在分词,表示“误导人的”而misled是“被误导”。
    5.去掉away     far away from为固定短语,表示“离……很遥远”。
    6.single改为only     single单一的,一个的,强调“一个”。only惟一。
    7.as改为in     differ from…in…表示“在…(方面)与…不同”,
    8.mean改为means     by no means根本不…,是固定短语。
    9.在have和lexical中间加such,或将as改为like     such as是固定搭配,作“诸如”讲。
    10.number改为amount/deal     a number of后面要跟复数名词。
