The mystery of the famous word collector ONE of the greatest contributors to the first Oxford (牛津) English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor(编辑) for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition(定义) but also the history of the word and quotations(引用) showing how it was used.
This was a huge task, so Dr. Murray recruited (招募) volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxford. Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors. But he was also a mystery. Despite many invitations, he would always decline(拒绝) to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(收容所) for the Criminally Insane(精神病犯罪者).
Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than
10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.
In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the pier (码头) to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.
Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and dedicated asylum inmate.

九年级英语中考备考复习计划
中考语文复习计划及策略 中考前的几个月，意味着初中阶段的最后一个年头进入一个最紧张、最繁忙的时期，如何做好九年级语文的教学和复习工作？如何使学生在初中阶段的最后几个月学有所 得？今年的中考试卷将怎么出？会不会更难些？这些都是我们老师所关心的问题。根据自己参加过中考命题经验，与老师交流的是试卷的题目是任何老师都无法猜测，如果把 时间和精力用在猜题上，那么几年来的教学付出将会前功尽弃。应该说认真研读《考试 说明》，“吃”透近两年中考试题才是根本。 《考试说明》是中考命题的直接依据，为了不走弯路，提高复习的效率，应引导学 生认真学习其中所列“考试要求”，对“说明”中关于考试的要求、内容、规定的文学 名著阅读的篇目，以及样卷的形式和内容都要十分熟悉，尤其要比较“说明”样卷与往 年试卷的区别之处，这对我们把握复习重点，提高复习效率十分有益。 通过研读《考试说明》，认真分析近几年漳州市的中考语文试题，我们不难发现， 试题具有以下特点： 1.试题注重了学生的知识积累。 2．加大名著的考核力度，且有呈现出纵深式考查的趋势。 3.阅读题大多采集于报刊杂志的最新时文，更重视阅读材料的价值取向和人文关 怀。选文讲求文质兼美。 4.试题命制上，增加主观题的比例，尊重学生阅读过程中的独特体验，尊重学生思 维的多样性。 5．试题的地方色彩浓重。关注家乡的景观、民俗风情及家乡建设。 6试题紧扣时代脉搏，引导学生走出校园去关注社会生活，关注自我。. 7.试题坚持积极推进、稳步实施的原则。与往年相比，保持了相对的稳定性，又适 当变化，逐步推进。 考试说明及试题的特点对我们的教学实践和综合复习起了很重要的导向作用。因此在复习时要遵循的三项原则： 1.吃透考纲——准确把握命题方向； 2.立足课本——熟练掌握知识内核； 3.触类旁通——让学生学会知识的延伸运用。 现在我就我校的中考复习经验并结合本届学生的特点及自己的体会实践，对中考前的语文复习作以下构思： 一、确定备考目标：

初中英语拓展阅读(2)
初中英语拓展阅读(2) A Red is used in many American expressions. It can be used to show happiness, as in the expression “a red-letter day”. This is a day when something special happens. The expressi on is probably based on church customs. For almost 600 years, church calendars have been marked with red to show special holy days. Today’s calendars are still marked that way with the dates of holidays and special days printed in red. The expressio n “a red-letter day” is often heard in everyday life. “A red-letter day” is a day that people are especially happy. It may be a day that you have long waited for, a wedding day, for example. Or it may be a day with a happy surprise. You might tell a friend that yesterday was a red-letter day, because you won some money in the lottery. “Rolling out the red carpet” is another commonly heard expression. It describes an especially warm welcome of any kind. A city may “roll out the red carpet” for its baseball t eam, when the team arrives home after winning a championship. A group of supporters go to the airport to greet the team. The red-carpet welcome includes a lot of cheering by thousands of fans, a parade, music and speeches of praise by local politicians. Red is also used in some expressions that are not happy. “Red-handed” is one. To be caught “red-handed” is to be found in an act of wrong doing. The evidence is clear. You are guilty. Today we use the expression to be caught “red-handed” in situation s that are not serious. For example, a mother might say she caught her son red-handed, taking cookies out of the cookie jar. Choose the best answer for each question. ( )1. The expression “a red-letter day” perhaps first came from _______. A. English customs B. church calendars C. weekdays D. a dictionary ( )2. You can say it’s a red-letter day if _______ on that day. A. you find a good job B. you borrow some money C. you are free D. you write a letter to your friend ( )3. We usually roll out the red carpet when _______. A. a friend of ours drops by our house B. someone is going to leave C. we give someone a warm welcome D. we move into a new house ( )4. You are caught “red-handed” when your teacher _______ in class. A. sees you putting up your hand B. finds you talking C. asks you some questions D. says you are clever ( )5. Which is the best title of this passage? A. Red Is a Useful Color B. How to Use Red C. Red in Some Expressions D. What’s a Red-letter Day Help: expression n. 表达holy adj. 神圣的

2020初三英语阅读理解及答案
2020初三英语阅读理解及答案 下面有一篇文章，希望同学们用10分钟将此题做完，然后对照讲解找到准确的答案。 Passage 1 If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet (彗星). A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射). Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but on a much longer path (轨道) than the earth travels. If a comet isn’t a sta r, what is it then? Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts (融化) the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail. Many people perhaps have seen a comet. However no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see. An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because
