问题     How men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other
word, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is 【M1】______
men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express 【M2】______
thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they can 【M3】______
communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon
certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present 【M4】______
those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds,
whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.
    The power of words, then, lies on their associations — the 【M5】______
things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with
meaning for us by experience; and the long we live, the more 【M6】______
certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and
the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that
mean something to us increase. 【M7】______
    Great writers- are those who not only have great thoughts but
also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully on 【M8】______
our minds and feelings. This charming and telling use of words is
that we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of 【M9】______
words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like
music, and which by their position and association can move men
to tears. We should nevertheless learn to choose our words 【M10】______
carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech
silly and rude.
【M6】
选项
答案long—longer
解析 固定搭配错误。全句使用的是“the+比较级，the+比较级”的句型，表示“越……，越……”，因此要用long的比较级longer。
