听力原文: At sixteen, Henry Vincent was separated from his family as a result of the war. He wandered aimlessly from one country to another before finally settling down in Australia,where he trained as an electronics engineer, He established his own business but it called for so much work that marriage was out of the question.
His retirement suddenly made him realize how lonely he was and he decided to take up a hobby. With his interest in electronics, being an amateur radio operator seemed a natural choice. He installed his own equipment and obtained a license and his call sign, which is the set of letters and numbers used to identify oneself when making radio contact with other amateur operators all over the world.
Soon Henry had a great many contacts in far off places. One in particular was a man in California with whom he had much in common. One night the man in California happened to mention the village in Europe he had come from. Suddenly, Henry realized that this man was in fact his younger brother, Peter. At first, the two brothers were at a loss for words but then little by little they filled in the details of their past lives and not long afterwards Henry Vincent flew to California to be reunited with his brother.

Was there ever a time when people spoke just plain English? No. Scholars estimate that one-third of the world's languages are of Indo-European origin. These include English, French, Latin, German, Dutch, Celtic, and Slavic tongues. Back around AD 450, when Julius Caesar was alive, English as we know it didn't exist. English is relatively young. Its roots go back 1,500 years, to Britain. People there spoke Celtic. Then came Anglo-Saxon invaders. These conquerors spoke a language closely related to older forms of Dutch. Morris says Dutch words like "woord", "gras" and "man" became the English equivalents "word", "grass" and "man" . Anglo-Saxon "Anglish" became "English" .
But our story does not end there. English continued to grow and change. When Norman French invaded Britain in 1066, the English vocabulary got an enormous boost. Scholars say that nearly half of all English words are French in their origin. Words like art, orange, taxi, train and surprise are a few examples.
When English colonists came to America in the 1700s, they encountered native Americans and their languages. Words like wigwam, teepee, chipmunk, possum and tomahawk settled into the colonists' vocabulary.
Centuries later, in the early 1900s, immigrants streamed to America's shores. Italians taught US to say broccoli, macaroni, opera and studio. Spanish speakers added mosquito, mustang, tortilla and alligator. Bagel, kosher and pastrami came from those who spoke Yiddish. And yam, gorilla and jitterbug were taken from African language. So if you speak English, you use words from at least 35 foreign languages.
The first paragraph is mainly about
A.Professor Morris and his English classes in college
B.some jokes about the term "loan words"
C.the meaning and using of "loan words" in English
D.the difference between loan words and imported words
We all believe that words of a language evolve (进化) gradually over the centuries, rather as animals and plants evolve over millions of years. 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, modem 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 (非法出售的酒). 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".
What can we learn from the text?
A.It is the duty of specialists to make new words.
B.People are encouraged to make new words.
C.Words evolve faster than animals and plants.
D.New words are usually made by chemists.
