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 combined to represent those sounds, and which could be【C5】______. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words.
    The power of words, then, lies in their【C6】______-the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; 【C7】______the longer we live, the more certain words【C8】______to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us【C9】______.
    Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal【C10】______to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call【C11】______style. Above all, the real poet is a master of【C12】______. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which【C13】______their position and association can【C14】______men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will【C15】______our speech or writing silly and vulgar.
【C6】
选项 A、functions
B、associations
C、roles
D、links
答案B
解析 根据破折号后的解释“它们在我们的头脑里所提示的事物”，可推断这是词的“联想”。功能，associations表示“联想，联系”，符合语境。functions表示“功能，职能”：roles表示“作用，角色”：links表示“(链的)一环；连接物”，这些都不能体现破折号之后的内容。故答案为B。
