問題詳情:
A language never stands still is always changing and developing. These changes are rapid in primitive(原始的) societies, but slow in advanced ones, because the invention of printing and the spread of education have fixed a traditional usage. The only important change that English has undergone(遭受) since the 16th century is a large increase in its vocabulary. It is interesting to trace the different ways in which new words are invented. Let us take just two
English words and see how they were made: sandwich and television.
Sandwich, is now no longer an entirely English word, but also international, comes from the Earl of Sandwich(died in1792),who invented the particular form of quick meal so that he could go on gambling all through the night without stopping for dinner. Many names of things are in facts taken from the name of the first inventors, for example, the electrical terms Walt and Volt.
Television is one of many new scientific words which are invented from old Greek and Latin words.“Tele”in Greek, mean “far , while“vision”comes from the Latin verb, meaning“to see”.

A. is a certain condition B. not sits
C. remains without change D. rises to the feet
2. What do you think Volt was? He was_
A. a player B. a physicist C, a writer D. a nurse
