阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在

答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Dictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in these

great vocabulary authorities. New words are continually being created and added to our

language. And many of today's word experts can credit a famous mathematician with the

creation of the method by which they develop many new words. The mathematician was an

Englishman named Charles L. Dodgson. In addition to working with figures, Dodgson wrote

books. His imaginative stories and poems have made Dodgson beloved to generations of

readers. We know him, however, not by the name of Dodgson but by his pen name, Lewis

Carroll.

Lewis Carroll has delighted countless readers, young and old, with Alice in Wonderland,

Through the Looking Glass, and numerous poems. In these works, Carroll developed dozens

of nonsensical words such as "chortle" and "galumph". Many of these words are combined

naturally with more common words in the English language. Carroll referred to his made-up

words as "portmanteau" words, named after a kind of leather suitcase that opens into two

compartments. The name was well suited, because most of Carroll's words had two

compartments. Rather than being entirely fabricated（虚构）,they were usually made from the

combined parts of two different words. A "snark", for example, clearly came from a snake and

a shark.

Although Carroll died long ago, his technique continues to be used today. We clearly see

his influence in such words as smog, brunch, and guesstimate.

21. What does the underlined sentence probably mean according to the passage?

A. Dictionaries are open to the public.

B. Dictionaries are helpful to the public.

C. Dictionaries are ready to welcome new words.

D. The vocabularies in dictionaries are limited.

22. Dodgson's made-up words____.

A. are based on different words B. are borrowed from other languages

C. all come from his poems D. are still widely used

23. This passage is mainly about .

A. how Dodgson wrote his works B. how English words are created

C. how a dictionary is written D. how Dodgson created new words

Hi Maz and Bobby,

I don't know what you're up to this Sunday, but if you're at a loose end, come over to my

place. We're going to have a barbecue.

Tom

Hi Tom,

Thanks mate, but I'm completely snowed under at the moment. I have to write an essay by

Monday afternoon, so I'll be working all weekend. I've got nothing arranged for the

following weekend though, so maybe we can meet then? I'll call you later.

Bobby

Dear Tom,

Like Bobby, I'm a bit tied up tomorrow. Unfortunately, I have to go to my great uncle's

house for a family lunch. He was ill so we thought it might not happen, but it looks as ifit's

going ahead. I really can't get out ofit because it's the old man's 60th birthday and most of

the family will probably be there.

Maz

Ok you guys,

I'm calling off the barbecue. Judging from the grey sky, it's going to rain all weekend anyway.

Maybe you'll have done your various duties by the end of the evening and we can go for a

drink instead! If you want to relax, I'll be in The Hart, a pub on King Street. Gloria and I are

meeting there at about 8:30, as long as nothing else pops up! Don't forget it closes at 10:30

on Sundays.

Ok, time to put my feet up and take it easy!

Later,

Tom

The next time you go grocery shopping, try speaking to other customers. One summer

day, I took a smile and a warm heart into a small store in Oregon and got far more than

groceries.

I love fresh produce(农产品) in the store, and not just for the amazing colors provided

by summer's bounty (慷慨) or the chance to joy over new choices from other countries. It's

also because I just love watching people pick their produce.

The day I was there I found a sale on amazing cherry tomatoes-along with a woman in

her late 70s. Despite the fact that we were strangers, we began to discuss apples. She noted a

problem with the Pink Ladies. "They tasted like I was eating an unripe green apple from the

tree," she said, twisting her face as if still tasting the sour apple.

I wondered if this is something most of my generation can even remember doing. I

surely do. I mentioned that I often could not resist the green yet tempting fruit swinging from

an apple tree. This was the start for a series of discussions as we shopped-covering such

topics as nutrition, new foods and the quality of produce.

By this time a third woman had joined in our conversation. The three of us continued

along, unexpected friends, chatting about family size and the troubles a mom might have

serving healthful foods that please the whole family.

Eventually we all went our separate ways, but in the dairy(奶制品) section I heard a

small voice say, "I finally caught up with you." It was the first woman I'd talked to, extending

a bag of apricots（杏） to me. "I don't know if your family will eat these," she added, "but they

have a super deal on them."

Again I was brought back to my childhood, when I also ate apricots straight from the tree.

My mouth watered at the remembered flavor.

The old lady didn't realize that she'd given me far more than produce. With that offering

came a sense of community, a flashback to days when it was OK to talk to a stranger. She

brought back memories of summer fruits right from the tree-and a feeling that somehow

those apricots were a thank-you for sharing my time with her in a very unlikely place.

28. One reason the author likes fresh produce in grocery shop is that _

A. she enjoys observing people selecting fresh produce
