In every cultivated language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, comprise the whole vocabulary.first, there are those words- 1- which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we -2- ,that is to say, from the -3- of our own family and from our familiar associates, and -4 -we should know and use -5 -we could not read or write.
They -6 -the common things of life, and are the stock in trade of all who- 7- the language.such words may be called“popular”, since they belong to the people -8 -and are not the exclusive -9 -of a limited class.on the other hand, our language- 10 -a multitude of words which are comparatively -11 -used in ordinary conversation.their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little -12- to use them at home or in the market-place.
Our- 13- acquaintance with them comes not from our mother’s -14- or from the talk of our school-mates, -15 -from books that we read, lectures that we -16- ,or the more -17- conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular -18 -in a style appropriately elevated above the habitual- 19- of everyday life.such words are called“l(fā)earned”, and the- 20 -between them and the“popular”words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic process.

1.【答案】b【解析】本句中由with which引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句，修飾先行詞those words。短語(yǔ)become acquainted with sb./sth.意為“認(rèn)識(shí)某人，了解某事。”
2.【答案】d【解析】imitate意為“模仿”，stimulate意為“刺激，激發(fā)”。study和learn都有“學(xué)習(xí)”的意思，study著重研究，而learn指一般性的學(xué)習(xí)，故選d。
3.【答案】c【解析】mate意為“伙伴，同事”，可組成復(fù)合名詞，如：classmate同學(xué)，roommate同房間的人。relative意為“親戚”，member意為“成員”，family member意為“家庭成員”，fellow意為“伙伴，家伙”。
4.【答案】a【解析】which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，和前面的定語(yǔ)從句并列，修飾先行詞those words,關(guān)系代詞that只能在限制性定語(yǔ)從句中代替which。
5.【答案】c【解析】even if在這里引導(dǎo)條件狀語(yǔ)從句。even是副詞，不能引導(dǎo)狀語(yǔ)從句。in spite of和despite表示“盡管”，為介詞詞組或介詞，也不能引導(dǎo)狀語(yǔ)從句。
6.【答案】b【解析】本句的意思是“它們涉及生活中的一般性事情，是所有使用這種語(yǔ)言的人慣用的語(yǔ)言材料。concern意為“涉及”,mind和care表示“介意，計(jì)較”，relate表示“講述、敘述”。
7.【答案】d【解析】use意為“使用”，apply意為“運(yùn)用”，hire意為“雇用”，adopt意為“采納”。
8.【答案】c【解析】at large意為“普遍的、一般的”，in public意為“公開地、當(dāng)眾”，at most意為“至多、不超過”，at best意為“充其量、至多”。
9.【答案】c【解析】share意為“份額、共享”。right和privilege意為“權(quán)利、特權(quán)”，在本句不符合題意。possession意為“擁有、占有”，通常指擁有財(cái)物。
10.【答案】b【解析】comprise“包含、包括、由……組成”。compose常用于被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)be composed of表示“由……組成”。consist是不及物動(dòng)詞，必須和of組成短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞表示“由……組成”，constitute意為“構(gòu)成”。
11.【答案】a【解析】seldom意為“不經(jīng)常、很少”。
12.【答案】d【解析】prospect意為“前景”；way“方式”；reason“理由”；necessity“必要性”。本句只有necessity符合句意。
13.【答案】b【解析】本句意為“我們最初既不是從母親嘴里，也不是從同學(xué)那里了解這些單詞的……”first“第一、首先”；primary“基本的、原始的”；prior“優(yōu)先的、在先的”；principal“主要的、首要的”。
14.【答案】c【解析】learn sth from ones lips是固定搭配，表示“從某人嘴里得知”。
15.【答案】d 【解析】but在這里表示轉(zhuǎn)折的含義。
16.【答案】b【解析】attend a lecture“參加一個(gè)講座”。
17.【答案】c 【解析】formal“正式的”；former“以前的”；formula“公式、方程”；formative“形成的”。 18.【答案】b【解析】topic“話題”；theme“主題”；point“要點(diǎn)”。本句指討論的話題，故選topic。
19.【答案】d【解析】degree和extent均可表示程度，但extent還可表示“范圍”。本句意為：……討論問題的方式超越了日常生活的范圍，所以選extent。border邊界，link連接。
20.【答案】b【解析】diversion“轉(zhuǎn)移、轉(zhuǎn)向”；distinction“差別”；diversity“多樣性、變化”；similary“相似之處”。本句意為：學(xué)術(shù)性詞語(yǔ)和大眾化詞語(yǔ)之間的差別，故選distinction。 |
