Brain rot, a 170-year-old concept that has taken on new meaning in the social media age, is the Oxford Word of the Year for 2024. Oxford University Press, the publisher of the Oxford English Dictionary, defined brain rot as 1 (refer) to “the supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, particularly viewed as the result of overconsumption of material considered to be trivial or unchallenging”. “Also: something characterized as likely 2 (lead) to such deterioration.
”It 3 (choose) in a public vote by over 37,000 people from a shortlist of six words that included “demure”, “romantics’” and “dynamic pricing”. The word first appeared in 1854 when Henry David Thoreau 4 (complain) in his book Walden: “While England endeavors to cure the potato-rot, will not any endeavor to cure the brain-rot, 5 prevails so much more widely and fatally ” No such endeavor seems to have been made as brain rot “gained new prominence this year as a term 6 (use) to capture concerns about the impact of consuming excessive amounts of low-quality online content, 7 (especial) on social media”. The frequency of the word’s usage increased 8 230 per cent between 2023 and 2024.“‘Brain rot’ speaks to one of the perceived dangers of virtual life, 9 how we are using our free time. It feels like a rightful next chapter in the cultural conversation about humanity and technology. It’s not 10 (surprise) that so many voters embraced the term, endorsing it as our choice this year,” Casper Grathwohl, president of Oxford Languages, said.
参考答案
1. referring 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,动词短语refer to作介词as的宾语,需用动词-ing形式,故填referring。
2. to lead 考查非谓语动词。(be) likely to do sth. 为固定表达,意为“可能做某事”,故填动词不定式to lead。
3. was chosen 考查时态和语态。本空在句中作谓语,因讲述过去发生的事情,时态用一般过去时;又因主语和动词choose之间是被动关系,故填一般过去时的被动语态was chosen。
4. complained 考查时态。分析句子结构可知,本空在句中作谓语,因陈述过去发生的事情,时态用一般过去时,故填过去式complained。
5. which 考查定语从句关系词。本句为非限制性定语从句,先行词brain-rot指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,故填关系代词which。
6. used 考查非谓语动词。本空在句中作后置定语修饰名词term,因两者之间是被动关系,故填过去分词used。
7. especially 考查副词。本空在句中作状语,修饰介词短语on social media,表示“尤其;特别”,故填副词especially。
8. by 考查介词。表示数量、程度的增加程度,用介词by。
9. and 考查连词。根据句意“‘大脑腐蚀’反映了虚拟生活的一个潜在危险,以及我们如何利用空闲时间。”可知,空处前后部分之间为并列关系,故填连词and。
10. surprising 考查形容词。本空在句中作表语,修饰事物,表示“令人惊讶的,出人意料的”,故填形容词surprising。
参考译文
“大脑腐蚀”是一个已有170年历史的表达,在社交媒体时代被赋予了新的含义,并被选为牛津词典2024年度词汇。牛津大学出版社——《牛津英语词典》的出版方——将“大脑腐蚀”定义为“指一个人的精神或智力状态的恶化或退化,特别是过度消费微不足道或无挑战性材料内容后的结果”。“此外:也可以指具有可能导致此类衰退的事物。”该词汇在超过37,000人的公开投票中脱颖而出,候选词包括“又端又装(demure)”、“浪漫奇幻(romantasy)”和“动态定价(dynamic pricing)”等六个词。“大脑腐蚀”一词首次出现在1854年,当时美国作家亨利·大卫·梭罗在其著作《瓦尔登湖》中抱怨道:“当英格兰努力防止马铃薯腐烂时,难道就没有人试图治愈更加广泛且致命的大脑腐蚀吗?”似乎真没有人做出这样的努力,因为“大脑腐蚀”今年重新受到关注,成为一个用来表达消费过量低品质在线内容,特别是社交媒体内容的词汇。 在2023年到2024年之间,该词的使用频率增加了230%。牛津语言学院院长卡斯帕·格拉思沃尔说:“‘大脑腐蚀’反映了虚拟生活的一个潜在危险,以及我们如何利用空闲时间。它似乎是关于人类与技术文化对话的一个自然延续。看到这么多选民支持这个词,并将其选为今年的年度词汇并不令人惊讶。”

据中国载人航天工程办公室的一份声明称,上周两名中国宇航员完成了超过9小时的太空行走,创下了世界纪录,标志着中国快速发展的太空计划的又一个里程碑。

中国载人航天工程办公室表示,神舟十九号任务的两名宇航员穿飞天宇航服,在空间站外部完成了一系列任务,包括安装空间碎片防护装置。
“他们成功完成了所有计划任务,并对此感到非常兴奋,”中国宇航员研究训练中心的工作人员吴浩在接受国家电视台中央电视台采访时表示。
1965年,前苏联成为第一个进行太空行走的国家。从那时起,俄罗斯和美国已经进行了数百次这样的任务,主要在国际空间站外进行,任务范围从安装太阳能电池板到材料研究。
