问题     The main purpose of English essay writing is to introduce you to the conventions of academic writing and critical thinking.
    While academic writing means different things to different people, there are some【C1】________ elements. We write to communicate to others, whether they are colleagues, professionals in their fields or friends. We write to【C2】________ others that our position has power. We write to discover new things about our world as well as ourselves. For that matter, the process of writing is a way of coming to know. Writing can become a【C3】________ for self-reflection, self-expression, and communication, a means of coming to know for both the writer and the reader.

选项

答案C

解析 语义题。根据语义线索,此处应当填动词的-ing形式。因a means to中的to为介词,而符合这一语义要求的有broadening和widening,broadening“扩展,拓展”;widening“放宽,加宽”。两者语义上易混淆,然而根据习惯性搭配,broaden多用于抽象意义,如“学识、生意、经历”,但widen多用于实物的扩展,故选broadening。
