One of the most interesting of all studies is the study of words and word origins. Each language is【C1】________ of several earlier languages and the words of a language can sometimes be traced back through two or three different languages to their【C2】________. Again a word from one language may pass into other languages and develop a new meaning.
The word "etiquette," which is of French origin and originally meant a label, or a sign, passed into Spanish and kept its original meaning. So in Spanish the word "etiquette" today is used to【C3】________ the small tags which a store【C4】________ to a suit, a dress or a bottle. The word "etiquette" in French, however, gradually developed a different meaning. It later became the custom to write【C5】________ on small cards, or "etiquette", as to how visitors should dress themselves and act during an important ceremony at the royal court. Thus the word "etiquette" began to indicate a system of correct【C6】________ for people to follow. With this meaning, the word passed into English.
Consider the word "breakfast". "To fast" is to go for some period of time without eating. Thus in the morning after many hours during the night without food, one【C7】________ one’s fast.
Consider the everyday English【C8】________"Good-bye". Many many years ago, people would say to each other on【C9】________ "God be with you." As this was repeated over and over millions of times, it gradually became【C10】________ to "Good-bye".
【C2】
选项
答案
C
解析
空格前为形容词性物主代词their,故空格处可能需填入名词或现在分词。文章首句便点明主题——词(words)和词源(word origins),因此下文便应该围绕主题展开。再结合本句中的trace back“追溯”,可推断此处讲的是词汇的溯源。词库中的origins“源头”代入后,表示“一种语言的词汇有时可追根溯源至两到三种不同语言”,符合上下文语境。
