How men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a【C1】______. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain【C2】______to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed【C3】______certain signs, called letters, which could be【C4】______to represent those sounds, and which could be handed【C5】______. Those sounds, whether spoken,【C6】______written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their【C7】______— the things they bring up before our minds. 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.
【C9】
选项
A、happier
B、sadder
C、shorter
D、longer
答案

语义衔接题。结合前面提到文字的意思会随着阅历的丰富而丰富可知,the more certain words应该与更丰富的阅历对应,也就是说我们活的时间更长,故答案为[D]longer。
