Which of the following is not true about Old English? ()
A、Users of Old English borrowed heavily from Latin and other languages
B、Old English has a vocabulary of about 50000 to 60000.
C、Old English refers to the English language used from 450 to 1150.
D、Old English was a highly inflected language.
【正确答案】:A
【题目解析】:本题考查古英语的相关知识。 古英语并不像现代英语那样大量从拉丁语和其他语言中借词,通常靠组合两个本地词的形式来创造新词;古英语的词汇量大约在 50000到60000之间;古英语指的是在450年到1150年这一时期的英语;古英语是一种高度曲折的语言。而A选项说古英语使用者大量借用拉丁语和其他语言,与古英语的特征不符,故答案为A。
