问题 Many new words have been added to the English language in the past forty years; and since Shakespeare’s time’ the number of words in the language has increased more than five times, from about 140,000 to______between 700,000 and 800,000.

选项 A、somehow
B、somewhere
C、whereas
D、somewhat

答案B

解析 B选项:somewhere意为“大约,在某处”,如:He was a thinnish fellow,somewhere in his forties.(他瘦瘦的,大约四十多岁。)句意:在过去的40年,英语语言增添了很多新词。自莎士比亚时代以来,英语单词的数量增加了5倍以上,从大约14万个增加到约70万个和80万个之间。故选B。其他三项:somehow以某种方式,用某种方法;whereas但是,而;somewhat稍微,达到某种程度。
