With such a tidy definition, it was easy to spot the difference. Not so in adulthood, where we are expected to “foot” bills, “chair” committees, and “dialogue” with political opponents. Chances are you didn’t feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns.‎ ‎“The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language,” says Patricia O’Conner, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review. Experts estimate that 20 percent of all English verbs were originally nouns. And the phenomenon seems to be snowballing. Since 1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns.‎ Even though conversion (转化) is quite universal, plenty of grammarians object to the practice. William Strunk Jr. and E.B．White, in The Elements of Style — the Bible for the use of American English — have this to say: “Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs. Not all are bad, but all are suspect.” The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care.‎ ‎“Sometimes people object to a new verb because they resist what is unfamiliar to them,” says O’Conner. That’s why we’re comfortable “hosting” a party, but we might feel upset by the thought of “medaling” in sports. So are there any rules for verbing? Benjamin Dreyer, copy chief at Random House, doesn’t offer a rule, but suggests that people think twice about “verbifying” a noun if it’s easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb. Make sure it’s descriptive but not silly-sounding, he says.‎ In the end, however, style is subjective. Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English “English.” Not every coinage (新创的词语) passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it.‎ ‎28．What can we learn about the verbing of nouns?‎ A．It hasn’t recently been opposed by many grammarians.‎ B．It is more commonly accepted by children than adults.‎ C．It hasn’t been a rare phenomenon in the past century.‎ D．It is easily replaced by existing verbs in practice ‎29．What is most leading experts’ attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns?‎ A．Cautious. B．Satisfied.‎ C．Disappointed. D．Unconcerned.‎ ‎30．What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns?‎ A．Predictable. B．Practicable.‎ C．Approaching. D．Impossible.‎ ‎31．What is the best title for the text?‎ A．Are 40 Percent of all new verbs from nouns？‎ B．Are Summering and Medaling Annoying?‎ C．Are You Comfortable about a New Verb?‎ D．Are There Any Rules for Verbing?‎ D Here’s something to think about the next time you ask your teacher for help: struggling with schoolwork on your own can help you learn. According to a recent study, the more you struggle while you are learning new information, the better you can remember it later.‎ This theory might surprise you. When teachers are presenting new information, they often give students lots of help. But a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning. “Don't be too quick to get help when learning something new,” education expert Manu Kapur told TFK. “Try to work on it yourself even if it means trying different ways.”‎ Kapur came up with the idea that struggling can lead to better learning. Then he tested it out on students in Singapore. He separated students into two groups. In the first group, students were asked to solve math problems with the teacher’s help. In the second group, students were asked to solve the same problems by helping one another, instead of getting help from the teacher. ‎ With the teacher’s help, students in the first group were able to find the correct answers. Students in the second group did not solve the problems correctly. But they did come up with a lot of good ideas. The students were then tested on what they had learned. The group without any help from a teacher scored much higher than the group who had help. Kapur said working to find the answers helped students understand the process, not just the solution.‎ Kapur’s advice for kids is to put a lot of effort into learning something new rather than going to your teacher for help. “Simply doing a little work or nothing at all won’t work,” says Kapur. “The struggle needs to be a genuine attempt to figure out or solve a problem in as many ways as possible.”‎ ‎32．When you have doubt on schoolwork, you’d better ____________.‎ A．ask your teacher for help B．make it clear by yourself C．ask your classmates to help you D．ask your parents for help ‎33．What’s Manu Kapur educational idea on learning new knowledge?‎ A．Give students much help as soon as possible.‎ B．Let students learn it on themselves in one way.‎ C．Let students learn it by themselves in the same way.‎ D．Let students learn it for themselves in different ways.‎ ‎34．How did Kapur check his idea on better learning?‎ A．By asking questions.‎ B．By solving art problems.‎ C．By group comparations.‎ D．By solving science problems.‎ ‎35．What is most important in learning knowledge?‎ A．Getting the teacher’s help.‎ B．Getting the student’s help.‎ C．Grasping the learning course.‎ D．Receiving the final solution.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，橙.子辅.导从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Experienced⁃Based Education Everyone is familiar with traditional education. You sit in a class and a teacher teaches. This is an important part of development. But at some point, every individual has to take charge of their own education. To do this, one must look at the root of learning.36．‎ Basically, unfamiliar experiences usually add more value than experiences that are familiar.‎ ‎37． And we are in a better state to learn something new. Honestly, someone who never experiences the same thing twice will never have a chance to benefit from anything learned. However, new experiences are generally what make people interesting and push them to grow.‎ High school is a new experience. College is a new experience. However, at some point traditional education becomes repetitive. It is not that you won’t learn anything else, but that the environment is so familiar.38．‎ To solve this, an individual needs to introduce new experiences into their life. You may spend a summer in a different part of the country or learn a new language through trial and error. You can also go to a drive⁃in movie（or some other entertainment event that is new to ‎ you）.39．‎ These types of experiences often result in very little“book knowledge”. Instead, they will often provide you with a better understanding of yourself as you experience your reaction to different situations.40． It can be invaluable for you to work effectively with others. Becoming a well ⁃ rounded human isn’t something that happens by accident. You can spend your entire lifetime developing your potential.‎ A．Has education changed so much in the last decade?‎ B．They will also provide you with a better understanding of others.‎ C．Those new experiences may not lead to great personal development.‎ D．These are all things that can stretch and expand your experience in life.‎ E. This is because unfamiliar experiences require much more of our attention.‎ F. As a result, you can easily become less aware of your experience and not learn as much.‎ G. What makes some experiences add great value to our lives while other experiences do not?‎ 第二部分　语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（橙子.辅导共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ At a young age, Darrius Simmons fell in love with the piano.
