问题     Every profession or trade, every art, and every science has its own technical vocabulary. The 【C1】______of these technical vocabulary is on one hand to【C2】______things or processes with no names in ordinary English, and on the other hand to secure greater exactness in terminology(术语). 【C3】______, they save time, for it is much more【C4】______, to name a process than to 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 fiber 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 is still in possession of 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 to a large extent are【C17】______to special discussion, and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays, as all professions once were, a close federation. What is called "popular science" makes everybody【C18】______with modern views and recent discoveries and latest theories. Any important experiment,【C19】______made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the newspaper and other media, and everybody is soon talking about it. Thus our common speech is always【C20】______up new technical terms and making them commonplace.
