问题     Every profession or trade, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary, the function of【C1】______is partly to【C2】______things or processes with no names in ordinary English, and partly to secure greater exactness in terminology.【C3】______, they save time, for it is much more【C4】______to name a process than describe it. Thousands of these technical terms are very【C5】______included in every large dictionary, yet, as a whole, they are rather【C6】______the outskirts of the English language than actually within its borders.
    Different occupations, however, differ【C7】______in their special vocabularies. It【C8】______largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have【C9】______themselves into the very fibre of our language.【C10】______, though highly technical in many details, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound, and more generally【C11】______than most other technical terms.【C12】______, every vocation still possesses a large【C13】______of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even【C14】______educated people. And the proportion has been much【C15】______in the last fifty years. Most of the newly【C16】______terms are【C17】______to special discussions, and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays, as all professions once【C18】______a close federation. What is called "popular science" makes everybody【C19】______with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment,【C20】______made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the newspapers, and everybody is soon talking about it. Thus, our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.
【C8】
选项 A、constitutes
B、comprises
C、composes
D、consists
答案D
解析 根据上下文本句的意思是“专业词汇主要包括本族词和外来词”，A选项constitutes意为“组成……”，不合句意；B选项comprises意为“包含，由……组成”，为及物动词，不接of；C选项composes意为“组成，作曲”，经常用于be composed of句型，不符合本句的结构要求；D选项consists意为“包括”，用于consist of句型，符合句子要求，为正确答案。
