问题     How men first learned to invent words is unknown; 【B1】______, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain 【B2】______ to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, 【B3】______ they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed 【B4】______ certain signs, called letters, which could be 【B5】______ to represent those sounds, and which could be【B6】______. Those sounds, whether spoken, 【B7】______written in letters, we call words.
    The power of words, then, lies in their【B8】______—the things they bring up before our minds.Words become【B9】______with meaning for us by experience;【B10】______the longer we live, the more certain words【B11】______to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we【B12】______, the more the number of words that mean something to us【B13】______.
    Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal【B14】______to our minds and emotions. This【B15】______and telling use of words is what we call【B16】______style. Above all, the real poet is a master of【B17】______. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which【B18】______their position and association can【B19】______men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will【B20】______our speech or writing silly and vulgar.
【B1】
选项 A、in addition
B、in other words
C、in a word
D、in summary
答案B
解析 考查逻辑关系。mystery与unknown同义，后一句话只是前一句的另一种表述，故应选B．in other words“换句话说”。in addition“并且、而且”，表示递进关系；in a word，in summary表示“总之”，说明概括和总结关系。不符合题意，故排除。
