问题     In every cultivated language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, comprise the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words【C1】______which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we 【C2】______, that is to say, from the【C3】______of our own family and from our familiar associates, and 【C4】______ we should know and use 【C5】______ we could not read or write.
    They 【C6】______ the common things of life, and are the stock in trade of all who【C7】______the language.such words may be called "popular", since they belong to the people 【C8】______ and are not the exclusive【C9】______of a limited class. On the other hand, our language【C10】______a multitude of words which are comparatively【C11】______used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little【C12】______to use them at home or in the market-place.
    Our【C13】______acquaintance with them comes not from our mother’s【C14】______or from the talk of our schoolmates,【C15】______from books that we read, lectures that we【C16】______, or the more【C17】______conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular【C18】______in a style appropriately elevated above the habitual【C19】______of everyday life. Such words are called "learned", and the【C20】______between them and the "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic process.
【C13】
选项 A、primary
B、first
C、principal
D、prior
答案B
解析 考查形容词辨析。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”，符合句意，因此答案为B．first。primary“基本的，原始的”；prior“优先的，在先的”；principal“主要的，首要的”，均不符合题意。
