问题     How men first learned to invent words is unknown; 【C1】______, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain 【C2】______ to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, 【C3】______ they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed 【C4】______ certain signs, called letters, which could be 【C5】______ to represent those sounds, and which could be【C6】______. Those sounds, whether spoken, 【C7】______written in letters, we call words.
    The power of words, then, lies in their【C8】______—the things they bring up before our minds.Words become【C9】______with meaning for us by experience;【C10】______the longer we live, the more certain words【C11】______to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we【C12】______, the more the number of words that mean something to us【C13】______.
    Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal【C14】______to our minds and emotions. This【C15】______and telling use of words is what we call【C16】______style. Above all, the real poet is a master of【C17】______. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which【C18】______their position and association can【C19】______men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will【C20】______our speech or writing silly and vulgar.
【C12】
选项 A、read and think
B、read and recall
C、read and learn
D、read and recite
答案C
解析 考查动词搭配。根据句意，我们阅读和学习的内容越多，对我们有意义的词汇的量也越大。C．read and learn表示“阅读和学习”，符合语境。read and think表示“阅读和思考”：read and recall表示“阅读和回忆”；read and recite表示“阅读和背诵”，结合后半句(增加词汇量)来看，都不如read and learn好。故排除。
