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 calledpopular, 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 mothers __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.

答案与解析:
1.B
本句中由with which引导的定语从句,修饰先行词those words。短语become acquainted with sb./sth.意为认识某人,了解某事。
2.D
imitate意为模仿,stimulate意为刺激,激发。study和learn都有学习的意思,study着重研究,而learn指一般性的学习,故选D。
3.C
mate意为伙伴,同事,可组成复合名词,如:classmate同学,roommate同房间的人。relative意为亲戚,member意为成员,family member意为家庭成员,fellow意为伙伴,家伙。
4.A
which引导非限制性定语从句,和前面的定语从句并列,修饰先行词those words,关系代词that只能在限制性定语从句中代替which。
5.C
even if在这里引导条件状语从句。Even是副词,不能引导状语从句。In spite of和despite表示尽管,为介词词组或介词,也不能引导状语从句。
6.B
本句的意思是它们涉及生活中的一般性事情,是所有使用这种语言的人惯用的语言材料。Concern意为涉及,mind和care表示介意,计较,relate表示讲述、叙述。
7.D
use意为使用,apply意为运用,hire意为雇用,adopt意为采纳。
8.C
at large意为普遍的、一般的,in public意为公开地、当众,at most意为至多、不超过,at best意为充其量、至多。
9.C
share意为份额、共享。right和privilege意为权利、特权,在本句不符合题意。possession意为拥有、占有,通常指拥有财物。
10.B
comprise包含、包括、由组成。compose常用于被动结构be composed of表示由组成。consist是不及物动词,必须和of组成短语动词表示由组成,constitute意为构成。
11.A
seldom意为不经常、很少。
12.D
prospect意为前景;way方式;reason理由;necessity必要性。本句只有necessity符合句意。
13.B
本句意为我们最初既不是从母亲嘴里,也不是从同学那里了解这些单词的first第一、首先;primary基本的、原始的;prior优先的、在先的;principal主要的、首要的。
14.C
learn sth from ones lips是固定搭配,表示从某人嘴里得知。
15.D
but在这里表示转折的含义。
16.B
attend a lecture参加一个讲座。
17.C
formal正式的;former以前的;formula公式、方程;formative形成的。
18.B
topic话题;theme主题;point要点。本句指讨论的话题,故选topic。
19.D
degree和extent均可表示程度,但extent还可表示范围。本句意为:讨论问题的方式超越了日常生活的范围,所以选extent。Border边界,link连接。
20.B
diversion转移、转向;distinction差别;diversity多样性、变化;similary相似之处。本句意为:学术性词语和大众化词语之间的差别,故选distinction。
