About three hundred words in the English language come from the names of people. Many of these words are technical words. When there is a new invention or discovery, a new word may be coined after the inventor or scientist.
It is interesting to observe how many common English words have found their way into the language from the names of people. For example, "sandwich", you may eat everyday. Lord Sandwich who lived from 1718 to 1792 used to sit at the gambling table eating slices of bread with meat in between. This kind of eating tastes delicious. As the Lord was the only one among his friends who ate bread in that way, his friends began to call him "bread-Sandwich" for fun. Later on the word became part of the English language, (29)
The word "boycott" means to refuse to have anything to do with somebody or something. This word is another example. The word comes from a man called Captain Boycott. He was a land agent in 1880 and he collected rents and taxes for an English landowner in Ireland. But the Captain was a very harsh man. He treated his poor tenants very badly. His tenants decided not to speak to him at all. (30) Eventually word got back to the landowner and the Captain was removed. (31) The word "boycott" became popular and was used by everyone to mean the kind of treatment that was received by Captain Boycott.
29. Who coined the word "sandwich"?
30. What didn’t the tenants like?
31. What did the landowner do when he found out that the tenants were boycotting his agent?
选项
A、To collect rents and taxes.
B、The harsh land agent.
C、The English landowner.
D、To speak.
答案
B
解析
推理题。四个选项中有两个是不定式,有两个是人物身份,由此可以推测,本题的内容可能与人物的态度有关系。佃农们都不喜欢Boycott,是因为他对待佃农的态度很差,佃农们于是决定不和他说话(But the Captain was a very harsh man.He treated his poor tenants very badly.His tenants decided not to speak to him at all.),故正确答案为B。
