The exact number of English words is not known. The large dictionaries have over half a million entries, but many of these are compound words(schoolroom, sugar bowl)or different derivatives of the same word(rare—rarely, rarefy), and a good many are obsolete words to help us read older literature. Dictionaries do not attempt to cover completely words that we can draw on: the informal vocabulary, especially slang, localism, the terms of various occupations and professions: words used only occasionally by scientists and specialists in many fields: foreign words borrowed for use in English: or many new words or new senses of words that come into use every year and that may or may not be used long enough to warrant being included. It would be conservative to say that there are over a million English words that any of us might meet in our listening and reading and that we may draw on in our speaking and writing.
Professor Seashore concluded that first-graders enter school with at least 24,000 words and add 5,000 each year so that they leave high school with at least 80,000. These figures are for recognition vocabulary, the words we understand when we read or hear them. Our active vocabulary, the words we use in speaking and writing, is considerably smaller.
You cannot always produce a word exactly when you want it. But consciously using the words you recognize in reading will help get them into your active vocabulary. Occasionally in your reading pay particular attention to these words, especially when the subject is one that you might well write or talk about. Underline or make a list of words that you feel a need for and look up the less familiar ones in a dictionary. And then before very long find a way to use some of them. Once you know how they are pronounced and what they stand for, you can safely use them. [br] The author does not suggest getting recognition vocabulary into active vocabulary by______.
选项
A、making a list of words you need and looking up the new ones in a dictionary
B、spending half an hour studying the dictionary
C、consciously using the words you recognize in reading
D、trying to use the words you recognize
答案
B
解析
本题为细节题。利用排除法。第三段中可以找到A项:把你需要用的词列成一张单子,然后在字典中查出生词的含义,C项:有意识地多用你在阅读中认识的新词,D项:尝试使用你认识的词。在排除以上三项之后只有B项,每天读半小时的字典文中并没有提到。故选B。
