A. Scandinavian B. Greek C. French D. Lati

29、n（分数：1.00）A. B.C.D.解析：解析 古英语时期，由于北欧海盗的入侵，许多斯堪的纳维亚语的词汇进入到英语中。但这些借词并没有引进新思想、新事物，它们都是英语中已有的术语和说法，大多是日常词汇，因为斯堪的纳维亚入侵者也像盎格鲁-撒克逊人一样都是日耳曼民族，许多词都是相同的，如：father(父亲)，husband(丈夫)，house(房屋)，life(生活)，man(男人)，mother(妈妈)，summer(夏天)，winter(冬天)等。答案为A。5.English Renaissance brought over 10000 new words from _ and _ int

33、three（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D. 解析：解析 词素是最小的有意义的单位。题中 went 是 go 的过去式，因此 went 包含两个词素，一个是动词 go(去)本身，另一个是过去式标志-ed，只因 go 的过去式是不规则变化，不加-ed，所以较为隐蔽。词根(root)即为不能再进一步分析而又不损害本身意义的词的基本形式。可见 classrooms 包含三个词根，即 class，room，classroom。答案为 D。9.Much of this early excitement and expectation was met with successive breakthroug

38、ge.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D. 解析：解析 Reference is the relationship between language and the world. The reference of a word to a thing outside the language is arbitrary and conventional. 也就是说它们之间的关系是任意的和约定俗成的，所以 A、B 项都正确。同时 Concept, which is beyond language, is the result of human cognition, reflecting the obj

A. onomatopoeic motivation B. semantic motivation C. morphological m

41、otivation D. etymological motivation（分数：1.00）A.B. C.D.解析：解析 semantic motivation refers to the mental associations suggested by the conceptual meaning of a word. 语义理据是指由词的概念意义所暗示的联想意义，这种理据解释词的字面意义与比喻意义之间的联系。本题所述属于语义理据(semantic motivation)。答案为 B。15.The later meanings added to the first meaning of the

42、word are called _ meanings.
