问题     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 ex press 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.
    There power of words, then, lies in their associations 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 emotions.
Which of the following statements is true?
选项 A、The more we read and learn, the more ignorant we are.
B、The more we read and learn, the more confused we are.
C、The more we read and learn, the more learned we are.
D、The more we read and learn, the more snobbish we become.
答案C
解析 文章第二段最后说到，我们读的和学的越多，我们就越增加有意义的词量。
