How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent 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 in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more 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 increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of 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 therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and dull.
The origin of language is______.
选项
A、a legend handed down from the past
B、a matter that is hidden secretly
C、a question difficult to answer
D、a problem not yet solved
答案
D
解析
这道题问的是人类语言的起源。文章第一段第一句话就开门见山地告诉读者:人类是怎样最先学会了发明词语的仍然无人知晓,换言之,语言的起源问题仍是一个谜。因此A、B、C三个选择项都不对,本题的正确答案应选D“人类语言起源问题仍然是个未得到解决的问题”。
