We all believed that words of a language evolve (退化) gradually over the centuries, rather as animals and plants evolve over millions of year. Sometimes the change is so slight as to be almost unnoticeable-finger, for example, means the same today as it did 1, 000 years ago. Other words have changed out of all recognition. For example, modern English “lord”, a person with high social positions, comes from Old English “hlaford”. It used to mean “guardian of the bread”, a person who protects the bread. But not all word meanings change like this. Just as new and different types of animals and plants can be reproduced, we can call completely new words into being.
Anyone can make a word. The difficult part is to make it stay in the language. To stand the best chance it should probably relate to a particular and fairly specialized subject. That cuts down the number of people who need to agree to use it. Chemists are often having to find expressions for new findings. Once that is achieved, there may be a chance for wider recognition if the expression comes to be of interest to the general public.
Ordinary people can make long-lasting words, though. In 1924, a competition (比赛) was held to make a word for a drinker of illegal liquor(不法出卖的酒). A prize of US $200 was offered, and there were reportedly over 25, 000 suggestions. The winners were Henry Irving Dale and Kate L. Butler, who both came up with “scofflaw”. And that word exists in American English to this day, in the rather wider sense “someone who disobeys the law”.

参考谜底：
61. C 【剖析】此题问的是咱们能够从文中获得甚么。经由过程浏览全文，咱们能够看到A,B,D文中并不提到。而文章的第一句话提到说话颠末几个世纪就会产生变更，而动动物的退化却须要几百万年，可见说话的演化速率要远远快于动动物，故C准确。
62. D 【剖析】此题问的是直到甚么时辰新词才被接管。第二段的最初一句话提到一旦新的发明引发大众的乐趣，就会获得普遍的认同。此处的新发明指的便是新词，故D准确。
63. D 【剖析】此题问的是制作一个新词比甚么简略。文章第二段的第一、二句提到任何人都能够造新词，难的是如何使它在说话中保留上去。可见制作新词要比让这个词保留上去轻易，故D准确。
64. A 【剖析】此题问的是划线词scofflaw指的`是哪一种人。文章的最初一段讲的是通俗人缔造新词的内容。本段的第一句话讲到进行了一场为饮用不法发卖酒的人的定名比赛，前面又提到某个人以“scofflaw”博得了比赛，可见scofflaw的意义是“饮用不法发卖酒的人”，故A准确。
