1. In a long ________ of several hundred kilometres, no one dropped out. A. pressure

10. collecting 考查分词做状语。动词collect与句子主语it构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词collecting在句中做状语。 【名师点睛】
本文考查了关系副词引导的定语从句。关系副词 where 主要用于修饰表示地点的名词，同时它在定语从句中用作地点状语。如：
This is the village where he was born. 这就是他出生的村子。
That’s the hotel where we were staying last summer. 这就是我们去年夏天住的旅馆。
Barbary was working in Aubury, where she went daily in a bus. 巴巴拉在奥伯里工作，每天得坐公共汽车去上班。
与 when 的用法一样，注意不要一见到先行词为地点名词，就以为一定要用关系副词where来引导定语从句，同时还要看它在定语从句中充当什么成分——如果在定语从句中用作地点状语，就用where；如果在定语从句中不是用作时间状语，而是用作主语或宾语，那就不能用where，而要用that, which等。如：
He works in a factory that [which] makes TV sets. 他在一家电视机厂工作。 关系代词that / which在定语从句中用作主语。
另外注意，where有时还可用于抽象名词后引导定语从句。如：
We have reached a point where a change is needed. 我们到了必须改一改的地步。
There are cases where the word “mighty” is used as an adverb. 在一些情况下，mighty一词可用作副词。 He got into a situation where it is hard to decide what is right and wrong. 他陷入一种难以分辨是非的局面。
I don’t want a job where I’m chained to a desk all day. 我不想找一份整天坐办公桌前的工作。

18. Recently, the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED, added about 1,000 words and new definitions to its
website. The changes are to help users understand a mix of terms, some dating back many centuries. The additions include words such as “brencheese”, “deathshildy” and “hip-pop”.
The new entries are part of the company’s update to oed.com, its searchable online dictionary for paid members. The OED makes changes to the website four times each year. But the latest print version has been in process since the year 2000, and may not be ready for 10 more years. That information comes from Katherine Connor Martin, who heads the company’s dictionary operations in the United States.
Usually, the OED watches usage of a word for at least 10 years before deciding whether to add a new entry, new definition or word related to an existing entry, she said. This general rule, however, is sometimes not followed. That is what happened with “tweet”, a word that the OED added far before the 10-year mark. Other times, the company adds words that are very old, but were not included in the dictionary in the past.
“It’s funny because we talk about new words, but many of the words we add are already obsolete. It’s just that they were never in the dictionary before,” Martin told the Associated Press.
That is the reality, she said, of a historical dictionary trying to put more than 1,000 years of English into books that already have over 855,000 entries. So, you get “brencheese”, a rarely used term for when bread and cheese are eaten together. The word dates back to the year 1665. The word “deathshildy” is from Old English. It means someone who is guilty of a serious crime and condemned to death.
The website defines the term “hip-pop” for music that combines parts of hip-hop and popular music. The OED discovered the term “hip-hip pop” was used in a 1985 story from a Pennsylvania newspaper. It noted that the term “hip-pop” appeared in a 1991 U. S. newspaper report about the rap artist M.C. Hammer.
The website has added several other terms related to modern culture. They include three popular terms: “binge-watching”, “spoiler alert” and “microaggression”.
Here are a few other new entries if you long to read on. 12. What has the OED done recently?
A. It has made changes to its words’ explanations. B. It has sorted out some words which are out of date. C. It has helped users to have more convenient use of the OED. D. It has taken in more words and new meanings of some words.
13. The underlined word “obsolete” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to __________. A. deserted B. updated C. changed
D. explained
14. What will the paragraph following the passage most probably be about? A. The influence cultures have on the words in the OED. B. The difficulties the OED has in choosing the words. C. The effect modern technology has on the OED.
D. The new vocabularies the OED has included. 15. What’s the best title of the text? A. The OED, a Great Help for English Learners B. A Brand New Version of the OED Website C. A Better Understanding of Words in the OED D. Examples of the OED Choosing Words
参考答案：
12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B
