(2024·江門一模)New wrds emerge in English all the time. In fact, in recent years mre new wrds and phrases are entering the language than ever befre, partly due t the increased willingness f lexicgraphers (詞典編纂者) t include them in the dictinaries.
Jhn Alge wh studies the histry f language says,“As ur culture changes, the language changes. American culture is ging thrugh a time f rapid change.”
Technlgy is mving fast, which has a big effect n language. The cmputer wrld prduces hundreds f new wrds. New terms als cme frm business, medicine, and ther fields.
Many new English wrds cme frm ther languages. David Jst helps create the American Heritage Dictinary.“We cnstantly brrw wrds frm ther cultures,”he says.“This will g n frever in cultures.”
“Peple in many parts f the wrld speak English nw. That is anther reasn why s many new wrds are entering the language,”says Alge.
The American Dialect Sciety has a cntest each year. The sciety selects a “new wrd f the year”, which gains high level f ppularity n media fr sme days. Last year the winner was“infrmatin superhighway”, referring t a whle set f electrnic netwrk f infrmatin and peple getting access t this netwrk by cmputer.
New wrds ften cme in several frms, such as the back-frmatin (like enthuse frm enthusiasm), the clipping (like z frm zlgical garden), and the cmpunding, etc. Over time, ne frm tends t win ut. Take the cmpunding fr instance.“Dmestic partners” has been grwing ppular lately, even thugh many terms have been used t describe cuples wh live tgether but are nt married.
“A new wrd rarely can be traced t ne surce,”says Alge.“Several peple tend t create a new wrd when a need fr ne exists.”
“Mst new wrds have a limited life ‘span’,”say language experts. Only a few will survive thrugh the next 100 years.

(2024·大同模擬)The impact f the man-made climate crisis n Antarctica is scientifically undeniable: stable ice shelves are retreating, air temperature increased by 3 degrees Celsius. Krill (磷蝦) numbers are declining, melting ice is cntributing t sea level rise, and seals are getting displaced. “Antarctic bidiversity culd decline substantially by the end f the century if we cntinue with business as usual,” Jasmine Rachael Lee, lead authr f the University f Queensland study says.
Published in the jurnal PLOS Bilgy, the study finds ppulatin declines are likely fr 65% f the cntinent's plants and wildlife by the year 2100. The mst vulnerable (脆弱的) species is the Emperr penguins. In Octber 2022, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed Emperr penguins as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act(ESA), as experts predict the flightless seabird will see a 26% t 47% dip in its ppulatin by 2050. “This listing reflects the grwing extinctin crisis and highlights the imprtance f the ESA and effrts t cnserve species befre ppulatin declines becme irreversible (不可逆轉的),” said Service Directr Martha Williams at the time.
Aside frm Emperr penguins, ther Antarctic species, like the Adélie penguins and dry sil nematdes, were als highly vulnerable. We urgently need a cmbinatin f glbal and lcal cnservatin actin t best cnserve Antarctic species. Glbal actin and glbal vices are t help relieve climate change—because the biggest threat t Antarctica is cming frm utside f it. And then we need lcal actins t help prtect bidiversity against lcal threats and give them the best chance f adapting t climate change. This will help t save ur icnic (代表性的) species like the Emperr penguins and all f Antarctica's unique and highly adapted inhabitants. It will als help humankind, as we rely heavily n the priceless services the Antarctic prvides in regulating ur climate and capturing sea level in its ice sheets.
