Which of the following is NOT one of the main sources of English new words?( )
A、The borrowing of Latin words into English.
B、Social,economic and political changes.
C、The influence of other cultures and language.

【正确答案】:A
【题目解析】:本题考查英语新词的主要来源。一般来说,新词有三个主要来源:(1)现代科学技术的快速发展;(2)社会、经济和政治变革;(3)其他文化和语言的影响。所以BCD三项描述都正确。现代英语在形成的过程中确实从拉丁语借用了很多词汇,但这却不是英语形成新词汇的主要来源,所以本题选A。
