Those sounds, whether spoken,【C6】______written in letters, we call words.

Words become【C8】______with meaning for us by experience; and the【C9】______we live, the more certain words【C10】______to us the happy and sad【C11】______of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us【C12】______.
    Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal【C13】______to our minds and emotions. This【C14】______and telling use of words is what we call【C15】______style.【C16】______all, the real poet is a master of words. He can【C17】______his meaning in words which sing like music, and【C18】______by their position and association can【C19】______men to tears. We should,【C20】______. learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech or writing silly and vulgar.
【C8】

解析 语义衔接题。随着阅历的丰富，文字代表的意思必然也会变得越来越丰富，故答案为[A]filled，become(be)filled with意为“充满”。full常与of连用，构成be full of“充满”，故排除强干扰项[B]full。
