问题     The proper force of words lies not in the words themselves,
but in their application. A word may be a fine-sounding word,
of an unusual long, and very imposing from its learning and【S1】________
novelty, and yet in the connection which it is introduced, may 【S2】________
be quite pointless and irrelevant. It is not pomp or pretension,
but the adaptation to the expression to the idea that clenches【S3】________
a writer’s meaning: as it is not the size or glossiness of the
materials, but their being fitted  each to their place, that gives【S4】________
strength to the arch; or as the pegs  and  nails  are necessary【S5】________
to the support of the building as the larger timbers, and more
so than the mere showy, unsubstantial ornaments. I hate
anything that occupies more space than it is worthy.  I hate【S6】________
to see a load of band-boxes go along the street, and I hate to
see a parcel of big words   without nothing in them. A【S7】________
person who does not deliberately dispose of all his thoughts
alike in cumbrous draperies and flimsy disguises, may strike
out twenty varieties of familiar everyday language, each
coming somewhat near to the feeling he wants to convey【S8】________
to, and at last not hit upon that particular and only one, which【S9】________
may be said to be identical with the exact impression in his
mind. This would seem to show that Mr. Cobbett is hardly
right in saying that the first word that occurred is always【S10】________
the best. It may be a very good one; and yet a better
may present itself on reflection or from time to time. It should be
suggested naturally, however, and spontaneously, from a fresh
and lively conception of the subject.
【S5】
选项
答案are∧→as
解析 “和……一样”的表达是as…as…，但在题目所在行的这个分句中，已经有两个as：as the pegs and nails和…as the larger timers，所以有一定迷惑性。通过句意“正如木栓和钉子与较大的木材一样，是支撑建筑物所必需的，”可知，第一个as表示“正如，像”，引导方式状语从句。第2个as就是比较状语从句引导词as…as…中的连词了，因此题目所在行缺少了这个引导词的副词部分，即另一个as。按照句意可知，as应位于are和necessary之间。
