填空题 Let us see how dictionaries are made and how editors arrive at definitions. The task of writing a dictionary begins with the reading of vast amounts of the {{U}}(47) {{/U}} of the period or the subject that the dictionary is to cover. As editors read, they copy on cards every interesting or rare word, every unusual or {{U}}(48) {{/U}} occurrence of a common word, a large number of common words in their ordinary uses, and also the sentences in which each of these words appears, thus: pail The daily pails bring home increase of milk. Keats, Endymion The {{U}}(49) {{/U}} of each word is collected, along with the word itself. For a really big job of dictionary writing, such as the Oxford English Dictionary, millions of such cards are collected, and the task of editing {{U}}(50) {{/U}} decades. As the cards are collected, they are alphabetized and {{U}}(51) {{/U}} When the sorting is completed, there will be for each word anywhere from two or three to several hundred {{U}}(52) {{/U}} quotations, each on its card. Each of the cards {{U}}(53) {{/U}} an actual use of the word by a writer of some literary or historical importance. The editor reads the cards {{U}}(54) {{/U}}, discards some, re-read the rest, and finally he writes his definitions. He cannot be {{U}}(55) {{/U}} by what he thinks a given word ought to mean. He must work according to the cards, or not at all. The writing of a dictionary, therefore, is not a task of setting up {{U}}(56) {{/U}} statements about the "true meaning" of words, but a task of recording, to the best of one's ability, what various words have meant to authors of in the distant or immediate past. The writer of a dictionary is a historian, not a lawgiver.A) cautiously I) consciouslyB) points J) contextC) literature K) peculiarD) familiar L) environmentE) influenced M) sortedF) occupies N) representsG) significant O) authoritativeH) illustrative

填空题Sport is one of the world's largest industries, and most athletes are professionals who are paid for their efforts. Because an athlete succeeds by achievement only-not by economic background or family connections-sports can be a fast route to wealth, and many athletes play only for money than for love. This has not always been tree. In the ancient Olympics the winner got only a wreath of olive leaves. Even though the winners became national heroes, the games remained amateur for centuries. Athletes won fame, but no money. As time passed, however, the contests became increasingly less amateur and cities began to hire athletes to represent them. By the fourth century A.D., the Olympics were mined, and they were soon ended. In 1896, the Olympic games were revived with the same goal of pure amateur competition. The roles bar athletes who have ever received a $50 prize or an athletic scholar or who have spent four weeks in a training camp. At least one competitor in the 1896 games met these qualifications. He was Spiridon Loues, a water carrier who won the marathon race. After the race, a rich Athenian offered him anything he wanted．A true amateur，Loues accepted only a cart and a horse．Then he gave up running forever．But Loues was an exception and now，as the ChaiJxnan of the German Olympic Committee said，“Nobody pays any attention to these rules．”Many countries pay their athletes to train year—round，and Olympic athletes are eager to sell their names to companies that make everything from ski equipment to fast food． Even the games themselves have become a huge business．Counlries fight to hold the Olympics not only for honor，but for money．The 1972 games in Munich cost the Germans 545 million dollars，but by selling medal symbols，TV rights，food， drink，hotel rooms，and souvenirs，they managed to make a profit．Appropriately，the symbol of victory in the Olympic Games is no longer a simple olive wreath—it is a gold medal．
