问题    The grammatical words which play so large a
part in English grammar are for the most part
sharply and obviously different from the lexical
words. A rough and ready difference which may
seem the most obvious is that grammatical words          【1】______
have "less meaning", but in fact some grammarians        【2】______
have called them "empty" words as opposed in the         【3】______
"full" words of vocabulary. But this is a rather misled  【4】______
way of expressing the distinction. Although a word like                           
the is not the name of something as man is, it is very                           
far away from being meaningless; there is a sharp        【5】______
difference in meaning between "man is vile" and                           
"the man is vile", yet the is the single vehicle of this 【6】______
difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words                           
differ considerably among themselves as the amount of    【7】______
meaning they have even in the lexical sense. Another                           
name for the grammatical words has been "little                           
words". But size is by no mean a good criterion for      【8】______
distinguishing the grammatical words of English,                           
when we consider that we have lexical words as           【9】______
go, man, say, car. Apart from this, however,                           
there is a good deal of truth in what some people                           
say: we certainly do create a great number of            【10】______
obscurity when we omit them. This is illustrated not
only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose
of telegrams and newspaper headlines.
【M6】
选项
答案将single改为only。
解析 single意为“单一的，一个的”，强调“一个”，而不是“更多”，例如：Sometimes love has been implanted by a single glance．有时，一瞥即能把爱植人心田。only则着重指一类中最好的或最具有代表性的一个。 only与单数名词连用可表示“独一的，惟一的”，例如：The only victory over love is flight．战胜爱情的惟一方式是逃避。
