Every profession or trade, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary, the function of【C1】______ is partly to【C2】______ things or processes with. no names in ordinary English, and partly to secure greater exactness in terminology.【C3】______ , they save time, for it is much more【C4】______ , to name a process than to describe it. Thousands of these technical terms are very【C5】______ included in every large dictionary, yet, as a whole, they are rather【C6】______ the outskirts of the English language than actually within its borders.
Different occupations, however, differ【C7】______ in their special vocabularies. It【C8】______ largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have【C9】______ themselves into the very fiber of our language.【C10】______ , though highly technical in many details, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound, and more generally【C11】______ , than most other technical terms.【C12】______ every vocation still possesses a large 【C13】______ of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even 【C14】______ educated people. And the proportion has been much【C15】______ in the last fifty years. Most of the newly【C16】______ terms are【C17】______to special discussion, and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays, as all professions once【C18】______ , a close federation. What is called "popular science" makes everybody【C19】______ with modern view and recent discoveries. Any important experiment,【C20】______ made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the newspaper, and everybody is soon talking about it. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.
【C15】
选项
A、decreased
B、diminished
C、increasing
D、increased
答案
D
解析
本句中proportion(比例)是指不为人们所知的词汇的比例,本句所说的是这个比例在过去的 50年以来发生的变化,A项decreased意为“减少”,显然不合题意与常识;B项diminished意为“减少,变小”,也不正确,C项increasing意为“增加,提高”,但-ing形式不符合句子结构;因此,D项increased为正确答案。
