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 learn, that is to say, from the【C2】______of our own family and from our familiar associates, and which we should know and use【C3】______we could not read or write. They concern the common things of life, and are the stock in trade of all who【C4】______the language. Such words may be called " popular" , since they belong to the people at large and are not the exclusive possession of a limited class.
    On the other hand, our language comprises a multitude of words which are comparatively【C5】______used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little【C6】______to use them at home or in the market place. Our first acquaintance with them comes not from our mother’ s【C7】______or from the talk of our school mates,【C8】______from books thai we read, lectures that we attend, or the more formal conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular【C9】______in style appropriately elevated above the habitual extent of everyday life. Such words are called "learned" , and the【C10】______between them and the "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic process.
【C3】

选项 A、even
B、despite
C、even if
D、in spite of

答案C
