问题     In every cultivated language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, comprises 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 "learned", and the【20】between them and the "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic process.
选项 A、in public
B、at most
C、at large
D、at best
答案C
解析 句意：这样的一些词语或许可以称作大众化的词语，因为它们属于所有使用这种语言的人，而不是某一个特定阶层专有的东西。此题考的是介词词组辨析。in public公开地，当众；at most至多，不超过；at best充其量，至多。at large普遍地，一般地，例：We must pay attention to the education of the society at large．我们必须关注整个社会的教 育问题。根据题意，只有选项C符合上下文意思。
