D
Part of the reason that English has grown as a world language is that it easily adjusts to (适应) change. However, this means that what one was taught as a child in school may be out of date many years later. When words or phrases change, it can make speakers feel “wrong” because they were taught that something else was “right.”
One example of this is a term connected to school itself. Today, it is common for people to say that they “graduated high school” or college. The word “graduate” has two common meanings. One is to mark off a series. The other meaning is closely related. As you move through
school, you cross off a series of achievements: grade school, middle school, high school, and college. So, in a way, school itself is “graduated.”
So, when people used to speak of getting a degree, they said they “graduated from college.” “To graduate college” would have meant to mark it off by year — the first year, the second year etc. Similarly, “to graduate to college” would have meant to complete high school and move up to the next level.
But as happens often in English, when people understand your meaning, smaller words can disappear. “I graduated college” is now easy to say. This may distress people who were taught that you had to use “from” to be correct. But this is not the first time this phrase has been simplified. It used to be that you said, “I was graduated from college，” instead of, “I graduated from college.”
You can't know what English will keep and what it will lose. Who could imagine that we would still say we “dial” a phone number when we now push buttons on our cellphone? Yet we know what it means.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了英语是一门不断发展变化的语言。 32．What do we know about the word “graduate”？
版权所有:中国好课堂www.zghkt.cn
A．It has two similar meanings. B．There was a change in its meanings. C．It had nothing to do with school at first. D．It got an extra meaning during its development.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The word ‘graduate’ has two common meanings. One is to mark off a series. The other meaning is closely related.”可知，graduate一词有两个相近的意思。
33．Which of the following is the newest usage of “graduate”？ A．I was graduated from college. B．I was to graduate to college. C．I graduated from college. D．I graduated college.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“what one was taught as a child in school may be out of date many years later”和第二段中的“One example of ... or college.”可知，I graduated college是最新的用法。
34．The underlined word “distress” probably means “________”． A．change C．worry
B．correct D．hurt
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“who were taught that you had to use ‘from’ to be correct”可知，对于那些在学校学的是I graduated from college的人来说，他们认为I graduated college是错误的说法，然而现在人们却经常这样说，这让他们感到不安。故distress和worry意思相近。
35．What's the best title for the text? A．Right or wrong?
B．Words come and go in English C．English is a very changeable language D．How should English be taught in school?
解析：选B 标题归纳题。文章第一段点出英语在发展变化，第二至四段举例说明graduate一词的用法，最后一段中的“You can't know what English will keep and what it will lose.”更是点出文章的主旨。故B项作标题贴切。
