问题     In every cultivated language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, comprises the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words【C1】______which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we【C2】______, that is to say, from the【C3】______of our own family and from our familiar associates, and【C4】______we should know and use【C5】______we could not read or write. They【C6】______the common things of life, and are the stock in trade of all who【C7】______the language. Such words may be called " popular" , since they belong to the people【C8】______and are not the exclusive【C9】______of a limited class.
    On the other hand, our language【C10】______a multitude of words which are comparatively【C11】______used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little【C12】______to use them at home or in the market-place. Our【C13】______acquaintance with them comes not from our mother’ s【C14】______or from the talk of our school-mates,【C15】______from books that we read, lectures that we【C16】______, or the more【C17】______conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular【C18】______in style appropriately elevated above the habitual【C19】______of everyday life. Such words are called "learned" , and the【C20】______between them and the "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic process.
【C2】

选项 A、study
B、imitate
C、stimulate
D、learn

答案D

解析 区别这四个异形近义动词的词义是关键。study和learn都有“学习”之意,但study着重研究,而learn指一般性的学习;B.imitate(模仿)和C.stimulate(刺激,促进)均不合句意。
