　　In every cultivated language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, comprise 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“l(fā)earned”, and the __20__ between them and the“popular”words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic process.

　　第九篇答案+解說:

　　1.【答案】B

　　【解析】本句中由with which引導(dǎo)的定語從句，修飾先行詞those words。短語become acquainted with sb./sth.意為“認(rèn)識(shí)某人，了解某事。”

　　2.【答案】D

　　【解析】imitate意為“模仿”，stimulate意為“刺激，激發(fā)”。study和learn都有“學(xué)習(xí)”的意思，study著重研究，而learn指一般性的學(xué)習(xí)，故選D。

　　3.【答案】C

　　【解析】mate意為“伙伴，同事”，可組成復(fù)合名詞，如：classmate同學(xué)，roommate同房間的人。relative意為“親戚”，member意為“成員”，family member意為“家庭成員”，fellow意為“伙伴，家伙”。

　　4.【答案】A

　　【解析】which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，和前面的定語從句并列，修飾先行詞those words,關(guān)系代詞that只能在限制性定語從句中代替which。
