问题     In every cultivated language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, comprise the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words【C1】______which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we【C2】______, that is to say, from the【C3】______of our own family and from our familiar associates, and【C4】______we should know and use【C5】______we could not read or write. They【C6】______the common things of life, and are the stock in trade of all who【C7】______the language. Such words may be called "popular" , since they belong to the people【C8】______and are not the exclusive【C9】______of a limited class. On the other hand, our language【C10】______a multitude of words which are comparatively【C11】______used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little【C12】______to use them at home or in the market - place. Our【C13】______acquaintance with them comes not from our mother’s【C14】______or from the talk of our school - mates,【C15】______from books that we read, lectures that we【C16】______, or the more【C17】______conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular【C18】______in a style appropriately elevated above the habitual【C19】______of everyday life. Such words are called" learned" , and the【C20】______between them and the "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic process.
【C20】
选项 A、diversion
B、distinction
C、diversity
D、similarity
答案B
解析 diversion“转移、转向”；distinction“差别”；diversity“多样性、变化”；similary“相似之处”。本句意为：“学术性词语和大众化词语之间的差别”，故选distinction。
