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【1】which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we【2】, that is to say, from the【3】of our own family and from our familiar associates, and【4】we should know and use【5】we could not read or write. They【6】the common things of life, and are the stock in trade of all who【7】the language. Such words may be called "popular", since they belong to the people【8】and are not the exclusive【9】of a limited class.  
    On the other hand, our language【10】a multitude of words which are comparatively【11】used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little【12】to use them at home or in the market-place. Our【13】acquaintance with them comes not from our mother’s【14】or from the talk of our school-mates,【15】from books that we read, lectures that we【16】, or the more【17】conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular【18】in a style appropriately elevated above the habitual【19】of everyday life. Such words are called "learned", and the【20】between them and the "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic process.
选项 A、consists
B、comprises
C、constitutes
D、composes
答案B
解析 句意：另一方面，我们的语言还包含了大量相对而言在日常生活中很少使用的词语。此题考的是近义词的词义辨析。comprise包含，包括，还表示“由……组成，构成”。compose常用被动结构，be composed of表示“由……组成”。consist是不及物动词，须和of组成动词短语，表示“由……组成”；constitute构成，例：Eleven members constituted the board of directors in our company．十一个人组成了我们公司的董事会。根据以上分析，只有B符合题意。
