问题    In every cultivated language there are two great classes of words which, taken together,  comprises the whole vocabulary. First, there arc those words【C1】______which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we【C2】______, that is to say, from the【C3】______of our own family and from our familiar associates, and【C4】______we should know and use【C5】______we could not read or write. They【C6】______the common things of life, and are the stock in trade of all who【C7】______the language. Such words may be called "popular", since they belong to the people【C8】______and are not exclusive【C9】______of a limited class.
   On the other hand, our language【C10】______a multitude of words which are comparatively【C11】______used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little【C12】______to use them at home or in the market-place. Our first acquaintance with these words【C13】______not from our mother’s【C14】______or from the talk of our school-mates,【C15】______from books that we read, lectures that we【C16】______, or the more【C17】______conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular【C18】______in a style appropriately elevated above the habitual【C19】______everyday life. Such words【C20】______"learned", and the distinction between them and the "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic process.
【C14】
选项 A、tips
B、mouth
C、lips
D、tongue
答案C
解析 本题考查动词惯用法。句意：“我们最初既不是从母亲那里也不是从同学那里了解这些单词的……”。learn sth from one’s lips是惯用法，表示“从某人嘴里得知某事”而不说learn sth from one’s mouth．例：We can never draw the secret from her lips．“我们从她嘴里休想知道这个秘密”。另外，one’s mother tongue才表示母语或本国语。
