问题     Every profession or trade, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary, the function of【C1】______is partly to【C2】______things or processes with no names in ordinary English, and partly to secure greater exactness in terminology.【C3】______, they save time, for it is much more【C4】______to name a process than describe it. Thousands of these technical terms are very【C5】______included in every large dictionary, yet, as a whole, they are rather【C6】______the outskirts of the English language than actually within its borders.
    Different occupations, however, differ【C7】______in their special vocabularies. It【C8】______largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have【C9】______themselves into the very fibre of our language.【C10】______, though highly technical in many details, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound, and more generally【C11】______than most other technical terms.【C12】______, every vocation still possesses a large【C13】______of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even【C14】______educated people. And the proportion has been much【C15】______in the last fifty years. Most of the newly【C16】______terms are【C17】______to special discussions, and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays, as all professions once【C18】______a close federation. What is called "popular science" makes everybody【C19】______with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment,【C20】______made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the newspapers, and everybody is soon talking about it. Thus, our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.
【C3】

选项 A、Consequently
B、In contrast
C、However
D、Besides

答案D

解析 本题考查句子之间的逻辑关系。上文中提到了专业词汇在没有英文名称时表示事物或过程的作用,下文则说专业词汇还能节省时间,注意这二者没有因果关系,是并列的补充关系。A选项Consequently表示因果关系;B选项In contrast表示对比关系;C选项However表示转折关系;D选项Besides表示补充关系。因此正确答案为D。
