Twenty years ago this week, the British inventor Tim Berners-Lee created the world’s first webpage. It is worth 【B1】______the extraordinary impact that his 【B2】______has had on the English language.
Everyday words like google, unfriend and app simply didn’t exist-in 1990. Even more words have had unexpected 【B3】______in meaning in those two decades. If you had mentioned tweeting (小鸟的啁啾声)to an English-speaker a few years ago, he would have 【B4】______you were talking about bird noises, not the use of the microblogging (微博)site Twitter. Long ago, if someone lived online, it didn’t mean they spent every 【B5】______minute on the Internet, but that they travelled around with the rail network. And 【B6】______still means, to anyone of a certain age, a radio—not the system for 【B7】______ Internet pages without wires.
"The Internet is an amazing 【B8】______for languages," said David Crystal, honorary professor of Linguistics at the University of Bangor. 【B9】"______." English is a remarkably inclusive language, and if words continue to be used for at least five years they generally end up in the Oxford English Dictionary.
【B10】______. For example, "LOLcat" is a phonetic, grammatically-incorrect caption that accompanies a picture of a cat, like "I’m in your bed sleeping." But according to Prof. Crystal, 【B11】"______. Will they be around in 50 years’ time? I would be very surprised." [br] 【B11】
