“Goblin mode” has been chosen by the public as the 2022 Oxford word of the year. The
term, which refers to “a type of behavior which is unapologetically self-indulgent (放纵的), lazy, or greedy, typically in a way that rejects social norms or expectations”, has become the first word of the year to have been decided by public vote.
Given a choice of three words, narrowed down by lexicographers (词典编纂者) from Oxford University Press (OUP), more than 340, 000 English speakers around the world cast their vote.
The president of Oxford Languages, Casper Grathwohl, said that while he and his colleagues were “hoping the public would enjoy being brought into the process”, the level of engagement had caught them “totally by surprise”.
“Given the year we’ve just experienced, ‘goblin mode’ resonates (共鸣) with all of us who are feeling a little overwhelmed at this point,” he added. “It’s a relief to acknowledge that we’re not always the idealized selves that we’re encouraged to present on our Instagram and TikTok feeds. This has been demonstrated by the dramatic rise of platforms like BeReal where users share images of their unedited selves, often capturing self-indulgent moments in goblin mode.”
The winning term was first seen on Twitter in 2009, but became popular on social media in February 2022 after being tweeted in a mocked-up headline.
The American linguist and lexicographer Ben Zimmer said: “Goblin mode really does speak to the times and the zeitgeist, and it is certainly a 2022 expression. People are looking at social norms in new ways. It gives people the licence to reject social norms and embrace new ones.”
Goblin mode joins previous Oxford words of the year “vax” (2021), “climate emergency” (2019), and “selfie” (2013). Other dictionaries have also selected 2022 words of the year: Collinschose “permacrisis”, while Cambridge Dictionaries went for “homer”.
19．What does Casper Grathwohl think of public engagement in choosing the 2022 Oxford word?
A．Surprised.B．Doubtful.C．Dissatisfied.D．Concerned. 20．Why do so many people choose “goblin mode” as the 2022 Oxford word of the year?
A．It is popular with young people.
B．It embraces the comforts of self-indulgence.
C．It is highly recommended by lexicographers.
D．It was first seen on Instagram and then became a hit quickly.
21．What’s the 2022 Collins word of the year?
A．Vax.B．Selfie.C．Permacrisis.D．Homer. 22．What’s the best title of the text?
A．Goblin mode:a new word shows a new way of life
B．Goblin mode:a new Oxford word of the year speaks to the times
C．Different dictionaries choose different hot words of the year
D．Feel the pulse of the times and society from different hot words
“I have cancer.” Mom said and held me in a tight hug. I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed.
For all of my twenty-four years, my mom had been supportive. Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me. Now I knew it would have to flow the other way.
Mom didn’t stay down for long. After the shock of breast-cancer, she armed herself with a notebook and a pen and a thousand questions for the doctors. She took notes on white blood cell counts and medications (药物) with long names as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school. “The not-knowing is the worst.” she said.
The operation was successful. The chemo (化疗) was the harder part. I went with Mom to every chemo treatment. She rarely complained, though her hair was gone and her toenails and fingernails fell out one by one. She joked that she could save money on nail polish and put it toward the doctor bills, even though she never wore nail polish. “Cancer can take my hair, my nails, my health, my very life. But it can’t take my smile.” Mom said.
Mom learned to share her fears with me, and it formed an even deeper bond between us. Yet I am certain there were fears she didn’t share because she was still protecting me — worries she only shared with Dad. Even in the darkest hours, she would just joke about the cancer. Mom always said, “When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it, you take away some of its power.”
Mom was one of the lucky ones. She did beat her cancer, though not without scars. From her, I’ve learned I may not get to choose what I face, but I do get to choose how I face it. 23．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．There were other ways to treat cancer.
B．I should be the one being there for Mom.
C．Mom had to stay stronger to beat cancer.
D．Knowledge of cancer would be helpful.
24．Which of the following words can best describe Mom?
A．Optimistic and determined.
B．Considerate and ambitious.
C．Humorous and generous.
D．Caring and knowledgeable.
25．Why didn’t Mom share all the fears with the author?
A．She only shared with Dad.
B．She would just joke about the cancer.
C．She wanted to protect the author.
D．She formed a deeper bond with the author.
26．What lesson did the author learn from Mom?
A．Luck counts in beating diseases.
B．Complaint does no good to one’s health.
C．Sharing feelings helps reduce sufferings a lot.
D．Positive attitudes get one through hardship.
Saying farewell to someone you love, even for a night, can be difficult, much less saying goodbye for a lifetime or forever in death. Juliet bid Romeo adieu (再见) for the evening with the words, “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Sweet sorrow is an oxymoron. But this seeming contradiction is true in the context of relationships.
Relationships are based on feelings, emotions, and passion. Deep friendships and loving relationships are measured by the level of emotional attachment. Emotions intensify over time. People spend time with the people they like. The more one person likes another person, the closer the relationship becomes. Each person in the relationship receives an emotional benefit from knowing the other person.
Saying goodbye means separating from the people who make up a significant part of your emotional identity. Separation, even a temporary absence, from the people you have a deep emotional connection with can cause sorrow because you will no longer be able to enjoy their company.
The sweet side of saying goodbye is the emotional fulfillment of being in a close relationship. The time spent together is emotionally rewarding, especially if that person is
seen as a soulmate. Humans are social beings. We seek the love and comfort of other people. Loneliness devastates the human condition and leads to sadness. Sad people will do anything they can to find fulfilling relationships. Likewise, happy people will do anything they can to maintain or enhance relationships. Herein lies the essential point of the emotional problem.
The more intense relationships become, the more devastating the emotional loss that is felt upon separation. The exhilaration of relationships cannot be truly measured without experiencing the overwhelming loss of a deep emotional connection.
Enjoy the company of the person you are with as long as you can; knowing the pain you will feel at the end of the relationship is the true measure of the relationship. If it doesn’t hurt to say goodbye, perhaps it wasn’t worth saying hello.
27．Which of the word group can create the same effect as “sweet sorrow”?
A．icy cold B．clicking sound C．deafening silence D．endless speech 28．What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A．Saying goodbye is unavoidable in our daily life.
B．The companion of close friends can lessen sorrow.
C．A person’s identity is connected with relationship.
D．Separation is the sorrowful part of saying goodbye.
29．What gives a person emotional satisfaction in social life?
A．Making more communication with others.
B．Building deep emotional connections with others.
C．Comforting friends with love and intense feelings.
D．Being a thoughtful person by standing in others’ shoes.
30．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Sweet sorrow is very common in close relationships.
B．The pain of separation is the measure of relationships.
C．Human beings are eager to get emotional fulfillment.
D．Happiness is meaningless without sadness to compare it.
