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 generartions 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 entirel y 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 wordsB.Are borrowed from other languagesC.All come from his poemsD.Are still widely used23.This passage is mainly about ________.A.how Dodgson wrote his worksB.how English words are createdC.how a dictionary is writtenD.how Dodgson created new wordsBA snake handler who cheated(逃脱) dead after being badly bitten by a snake is now teaching Australians how to survive in that case.

He can’t quit put his finger on it. That’s because the entire fo refinger on his right hand was cut off after he was bitten. But that wasn’t his worst experience. When he was 18, a Brown Snake he’d been holding by the tail turned and bit him in the face he was rushed to hospital, and he was saved from death.He says a Cobra Snake is perhaps the most dangerous but not the most poisonous.A Black Mamba Snake, one of the most deadly, is the longest poisonous snake in the world. A Brown Snake is the final guest at Neville’s show. It’s one of the most common snakes in Australia, and is the second most poisonous in the world. Several times during the show it bites the bag, which Neville waves in front of.Neville’s advice is to stay still if a snake is nearby, as most will only attack if they feel in danger.
