How men first learned to invent words is unknown: in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other:and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their combinations—the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience: and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past: and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts, but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary(文字的)style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they Will make our speech silly and rude.
According to the passage, words are( ).
选项
A、visual letters
B、represented by sounds
C、represented either by sounds or letters
D、signs called letters
答案
C
解析
细节题。第一段谈到:“人类起初用某种声音进行交流,后来又有了字母,字母结合起来可以代表声音,也可以写下来。因此,这些说出来的声音也好,用字母写出来的声音也好,被称为单词。”所以C是正确答案:单词既可以代表声音,也可以代表字母。
