One of the most bewildering aspects is the way prefixes and suffixes can completely transform meaning. Consider the word"inflammable."Many people mistakenly think it means"not flammable"because the prefix"in-"usually indicates negation(e.g.,"inactive,"invisible).In reality,"inflammable"means exactly the same asflammable"easily set on fire.The"in-"here comes from the Latin verb "inflammare(to set on fire),not the negative prefix.This confusion has led to serious safety incidents, prompting authorities to replace "inflammable"with "flammable"on warning labels. Another notorious example is the pair "burn up"and "burn down."If a house burns up,it is destroyed by fire.If it bums down,it is also destroyed.How can two opposite particles produce the same outcome? The answer lies in the different metaphorical perspectives:"up"emphasizes the complete consumption (buming until nothing is left),while"down"focuses on structural collapse.Such illogical pairings are abundant in English phrasal verbs. Then there are words like"oversight."It can mean both "supervision"(watching over)and"mistake" (failing to notice).How can the same word carry opposite meanings?Linguists call this"contranymy"or "auto-antonymy,"where a word's meanings run in opposite directions.The prefix"over-"can indicate 'above'”or“excess,”leading to this duality. Despite these challenges,understanding the logic behind English's "madness"can be rewarding.For learners,seeing the fun in these quirks reduces frustration.As the article Neither Pine nor Apple in Pineapple suggests,We should leamn to see the fiun in such language differences."Indeed,each contradiction tells a story about the language's rich history and the creativity of its speakers. ()1.Why does the author mention "inflammable"in Paragraph 2? A.To show that prefixes always change word meanings. B.To illustrate a common misunderstanding caused by prefixes. C.To prove that English is becoming simpler. D.To criticize the use of Latin roots. ()2.What do "burn up"and "burn down"have in common? A.They both use the same particle. B.They both describe complete destruction by fire C.They are both rarely used in modemn English. D.They both refer to partial damage. ()3.The term "contranymy"(Paragraph 4)refers to words that A.have the same spelling but different pronunciations B.have opposite meanings C.are borrowed from other languages D.are formed by adding prefixes ()4.What is the author's attitude towards English's contradictions? A.Annoyed and frustrated. B.Curious and appreciative. C.Indifferent and uninterested D.Critical and dismissive. ()5.What does the phrase "see the fun in"(last paragraph)most likely mean? A.Enjoy the humor of. B.Understand the danger of. C.Find the solution to. D.Accept the difficulty of. Passage 2 The English language is constantly evolving,and one of its most fascinating developments is the creation of new words through derivation.By adding prefixes or suffixes,speakers can generate a vast vocabulary from a limited set ofroots.For example,.the word“act'gives rise to"action,.”“active,”c“actor,”"activity,” and"react."This process not only expands the lexicon but also helps leamers guess meanings of unfamiliar words. However,derivation can also lead to confusion.Consider the suffix "-less"and"-ful."While hopeless" means"without hope,”hopeful”means "full ofhope.”But what about‘shameless'”and "shameful? Both are negative,yet"shameless"describes a person who lacks shame (usually negative),while "shameful"describes an action that causes shame(also negative).The nuance lies in the subject:one is about a person's character,the other about an act.Similarly,"priceless"means "extremely valuable"(not “without price'”in the lite1 al sense),while wo1 thless'”means "having no value.”The prefix"-less”does not always mean "without"in a simple way. Another tricky area is the use of"un-"and "in-"to form negatives.For instance,"unable"and "inability" both express lack of ability,but they derive from different roots(able"vs."ability").The choice between them depends on the grammatical context.Moreover,some words with "un-"have no positive counterpart:"uncanny"does not come from "canny"in a straightforward way (actually,"canny"exists but means“shrewd,”while uncanny'”means“strange and mysterious"). The word"unique"deserves special mention.It is an absolute adjective-something is either unique or it is not.Therefore,we cannot say"more unique"or"very unique"in formal English,though such usage appears informally.This rule highlights that not all adjectives can be graded.Similarly,"invisible"is absolutesomething is either visible or invisible. Understanding derivation patterns is crucial for vocabulary leamning,but students must be aware of exceptions.The best approach is to combine knowledge of common affixes with regular reading and exposure to authentic texts.As the textbook emphasizes,exploring English means embracing both its regularities and its oddities ()1.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Derivation makes English vocabulary easy to leam B.Derivation can create predictable patterns as well as confusing exceptions. C.Prefixes and suffixes always have fixed meanings. D.English leamers should avoid using derivational words ()2.Which of the following is an example of an absolute adjective mentioned in the passage? A.Hopeful B.Shameless C.Unique D.Worthless ()3.The difference between "shameless"and "shameful"lies in A.the syllable count B.the part of speech C.the subject they describe D.the suffix used ()4.What does the author suggest about learning derivation? A.It is unnecessary for advanced leamers. B.It should be combined with reading authentic materials. C.It is more important than learning grammar. D.It guarantees correct word usage. ()5.Why does the author say "unique"deserves special mention? A.Because it is rarely used B.Because it cannot be modified by "more”or“vey” C.Because it has both positive and negative meanings. D.Because it is derived from a Latin root. 二、完形填空 Last week,my cousin Tom visited me from China.He had been leaming English for years,but he still found it 1.One evening,we were watching a movie and the character said,'I'll wind up the meeting."Tom turned to me,confused."Why would someone wind 2. a meeting?Is it like winding a clock?"I laughed.No,wind up'here means to end or conclude."Tom shook his head."But yesterday you said wind up'means to tighten a spring.How can one phrase have two 3. meanings?” I explained that English phrasal verbs are often 4. .For example,.burn up”and "burn down'” both mean destroy,even though 'up"and"down"are opposites.Tom 5.his forehead."That's crazy!"he said."It's like English was designed to 6.learners!"I agreed,but I also pointed out that these contradictions make the language 7."Think about it,"I said."If everything were logical,there would be no 8.in leaming." Later,we went to the park and saw a beautiful 9. of a lion made of marble.Tom asked,"How long did it take to 10.this?"I said,"Probably months.The sculptor had to 11. every detail with great care."Tom was impressed."I wish I had that kind of 12. ,”he said,1 efering to the artist's creativity. As we walked home,Tom reflected on his experiences."What 13. me is that despite all the confusing rules,I can still communicate.People understand me even if my phrasal verbs are wrong."I nodded."That's the 14. of language-it's about connection,not perfection."Tom smiled."I think I'm starting to see the 15 in these language differences." 1.A.easy B.confusing C.interesting D.boring 2.A.p B.down C.in D.out 3.A.opposite B.similar C.simple D.clear 4.A.logical B.predictable C.illogical D.rare 5.A.touched B.rubbed C.hit D.covered 6.A.help B.confuse C.teach D.inspire 7.A.dull B.fun C.difficult D.useless 8.A.challenge B.pleasure C.danger D.point 9.A.painting B.sculpture C.building D.photo 10.A.design B.paint C.sculpt D.draw 11.A.ignore B.overlook C.smooth D.shape 12.A.patience B.intelligence C.creativity D.strength 13.A.worries B.amazes C.gets D.annoys 14.A.beauty B.weakness C.problem D.rule 15.A.difficulty B.danger C.humor D.fun 三、阅读短文回答问题 Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.The suffix "-sick"is a productive morpheme in English,forming compounds that describe discomfort caused by specific environments.The most common examples are "seasick"(nausea from motion at sea),"airsick" (nausea during flight),and "carsick"(nausea while traveling by car).These words combine a noun indicating the source of motion with "sick"to create an adjective.However,"homesick"follows a different pattern:instead of physical motion,it describes a psychological longing for home.Similarly, "lovesick"refers to the emotional distress of being in love or separated from a loved one. The formation of these words reveals an important principle:English compounds often follow analogical pattemns,but they can also develop unique meanings.For instance,"seasick"is purely physical,while "homesick"is purely emotional.Yet both are formed the same way-a noun plus "sick."This shows that the suffix "-sick"has broadened its meaning from "affected by sickness"to "affected by a particular condition or feeling." Interestingly,there is no word "*desksick"for feeling tired from sitting at a desk,although the concept exists.Language does not create all possible compounds;only those that are frequent enough to gain common usage.For leamners,understanding these patterns can help deduce meanings.If you encounter "spacesick"(a term used to describe nausea in space),you can guess it means sick from space travel. Another related suffix is "-proof"as in "waterproof"(not allowing water to pass)or "bulletproof"(resistant to bullets).Unlike "-sick,""-proof indicates protection or resistance, not sickness.Recognizing these suffixes can reduce confusion when reading scientific texts. In conclusion,suffixes like "-sick"and "-proof"are powerful tools for vocabulary expansion.But learners must be cautious:not every combination is standard,and some may be humorous inventions. The key is to read widely and note how words are actually used. 1.What is the common feature of words like "seasick,""airsick,"and "carsick"? 2.How does "homesick"differ from "seasick"in meaning? 3.According to the passage,what determines whether a compound word becomes common in English? 4.Give an example from the passage of a suffix that indicates protection or resistance. 5.What advice does the author give to leamers regarding suffixes? 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Art is a powerful way to express human 1. A sculptor can 2. a block of stone into a lifelike figure.When we look at a 3. our emotions are often 4. in it.However, different people may have 5. opinions about the same artwork,which can sometimes be 6. For example,modern art might seem to have 7. meaning to some viewers,while others find deep significance.
