Answer the following questions. Your answers should be clear and short.In what way are the underlined words formed in the following sentences？ 1）He wolfed down his lunch. 2）There is no milk in the fridge. 3）The headmaster is an easy-going man. 4）You have to show your ID before checking in the hotel. 5）I promised to babysit for my neighbor this weekend
【正确答案】：

1.CONVERSION：WOLF+ED——WOLFED

2.CLIPPING：FRIDGE——REFRIGERATOR

3.COMPOUNDING：ADJECTIVE COMPOUNDS：EASY-GOING

4.ACRONYMY：ID——IDENTIFICATION OR IDENTITY CARD

5.BACK-FORMATION：BABYSIT——BABYSITTER


【题目解析】：本题考查构词法的应用。wolf本身是名词：狼，转类成动词，加了-ed，表示狼吞虎咽地吃，所以使用了转类法。fridge原本的拼写是refrigerator：冰箱，单词很长，所以使用了首尾部截短法。easy-going：温和宽容的，是形容词复合词，由adj+v-ing形式构成，所以使用了复合法。ID，原本的拼写是Identification 或者 Identity card：身份证，用字母代替单词。所以使用了首字母拼音法。babysit：v.照看小孩，它是由名词babysitter(照看小孩者)去掉末尾-er得来的，所以使用了反转构词法。
