35页Unit 6At one with nature.阅读理解 AOne day Hilary Krieger was sitting in her parents home when her friend accidentally squirted(喷、射)himself with an orange slice.“I said,Oh,the orange just orbisculated,”she recalls.“And he said,It did what?”The two made a$5 bet,and Hilary confidently grabbed the family dictionary.But“orbisculate”is somehow not in the dictionary!Hilary burst into her dads study and told him the shocking news.He looked kind of embarrassed,and said he had made up this word in college and defined it as“When you dig your spoon into a grapefruit and it squirts juice directly into your eye.”.He had just been using it all the time.She was mad at his words but quickly came to see her dads made-up word as a gift,one that showed his creativity and inventive spirit.Two decades later,Hilary found herself telling that funny story again and again.Her father,Neil Krieger,passed away in April 2020 at age 78.Then Hilary began to think that“orbisculate”is such a great word;it should be in the dictionary!Getting a word into the dictionary isnt easy.Merriam-Webster adds only about 1,000 new words to its master database every year.Only words with a large and broad readership in publications can enter the dictionary.Then Hilary,44,hatched a plan.She built a website and encouraged people to use the word publicly enough.Many friends and strangers are inspired.Some wear T-shirts with the word printed on them.Some use the word in an online crossword puzzle.Some even put a homemade orbisculation warning sign in a grocery store.It has been three years since Neils death.Even if the word doesnt make it into the dictionary,Hilary feels her effort to get her fathers word into the dictionary has helped her recapture a little of the joy that has been missing from their lives.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。

根据第一段的“One day Hilary Krieger was sitting.she recalls.”和最后一段的“Even if the word doesnt make it into the dictionary,Hilary feels her effort to get her fathers word into the dictionary.”可知,全文围绕着希拉里和父亲经常使用orbisculated这个他独创的词汇及她在父亲去世后为了使orbisculated这个词进入韦氏词典而做出的努力,推断出全文是围绕orbisculated这个词展开的,A项“警告:这种水果汁会喷入你的眼睛里”,可作为本文的标题故选A项BThe English language is constantly evolving(演变),and there are a great number of words out there that dont mean what they used to.Were talking about common words that you use every day.We take them for granted,but at some point in history,their meanings totally changed,and they all originally meant something much different.Generally speaking,the word“nice”is one with good meanings.However,back in the late 12th century,if someone said you were“nice”,it was far from nice.Way back when,“nice”was used to mean“foolish”and“stupid”.Later on in the 13th century,“nice”came to mean“shy”,and during the 14th century,it even meant“being careful”.But finally in the 18th century,it changed to the kinder definition we know today,and ever since then,people have been using it in a popular way.All of us get sad every now and then.Its a normal part of life.A loved one passes away,we get overlooked for that big promotion at work,or the grocery store is out of your favorite flavor of Hawaiian Punch.These are all things that can make us very sad.However,once upon a time,“sad”had a very different definition.Back in the 1300s,it was the perfect word if youd eaten too much food at dinner.Through the years,the definition of“sad”changed to“heavy”and then“tired”,all before evolving into the word we use today.“Awful”is perhaps the one word on this list that should have stuck with its original meaning.While today it means“bad”or“terrible”,“awful”used to mean“awe-inspiring”or“full of awe”.In other words,if something was“awful”,then it was worthy of respect or even fear.However,over the years,“awful”has come to have a completely opposite meaning.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要以三个单词为例说明英语中有很多单词的意思和以前不一样。
