【题目】Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Oxford English Dictionary Adds New Words

In June, the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED, added about 1,000 words and new definitions to its website. The changes are to help users understand a(n) 1 of terms, some dating back many centuries. The additions include words such as “brencheese”, “deathshildy” and “hip-pop.”

The new entries are part of the company’s update to Oed.com, its 2online dictionary for paid members. The OED makes changes to the website four times each year.

But the latest print version has been in 3 since the year 2000, and may not be ready for 10 more years. That information comes from Katherine Connor Martin, who heads the company's dictionary operations in the United States.

Usually, the OED watches 4of a word for at least 10 years before deciding whether to add a new entry, new definition or word related to a(n) 5 entry, she said. This general rule, however, is sometimes not 6. That is what happened with “tweet,” a word that the OED added far before the 10-year mark.

Other times, the company adds words that are very old, but were not included in the dictionary in the past, "it's funny because we talk about new words, but many of the words we add are already old. It’s just that they were never in the dictionary before,” Martin told the Associated Press.

That is the reality, she said, of a(n) 7dictionary trying to put more than 1,000 years of English into books that already have over 855,000 entries. So, you get “brencheese,” a rarely used term for when bread and cheese are eaten together. The word dates back to the year 1665. The word “deathshildy” is from Old English. It means someone who is 8 of a serious crime and sentenced to death.

The website defines the term “hip-pop” for music that has 9 parts of hip-hop and popular music. The OED discovered the term “hip-hip pop” was used in a 1985 story from a Pennsylvania newspaper. It 10 that the term “hip-pop” appeared in a 1991 U.S. newspaper report about the rap artist M.C. Hammer.
