Some English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings and different endings, such as import, export, report and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same root “port”, which comes from the Latin word, meaning “to carry” or “to move” from one place to another. And according to the bit at the beginning-- which we call the prefix, the meaning changes: “import” means “to carry in”, or “to bring into a country”, “export”, “ex” means “out of”, so this word means “to carry out of a country”, “re” means “back”, so the word “report” means “ to tell somebody, to bring back information to somebody”, “transport”, “trans” means “across” and it means “to carry across one place to another”.
Let’s look at the following words: supporter, reporter, importer and exporter. You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs. Adding a suffix “er” to a verb means a person who does this thing. So supporter means somebody who supports. Importer is somebody who imports and exporter is somebody who exports, and so on.
48. “Some English words are made up of the same part…” in the sentence “part” means __________.
A. different beginnings and different endings
B. the same part which has several meanings
C. the root of a word
D. the same root which has different meanings
49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A. Besides “port”, many English words have the same root which comes from the Latin word.
B. “Port” is the root forming some English words.
C. The root “port” means “to carry”.
D. “Port” has the root meaning “to move” from one place to another.
50. We can get a noun _________.
A. just by adding “er” to verbs B. by changing a prefix
C. only by adding “er” to a root D. by adding a suffix to a verb
51. According to the passage, if we talk about a man of refinement, you may guess that he must be ________.
