问题     How men first learned to invent words is unknown; 【C1】______, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain 【C2】______ to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, 【C3】______ they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed 【C4】______ certain signs, called letters, which could be 【C5】______ to represent those sounds, and which could be【C6】______. Those sounds, whether spoken, 【C7】______written in letters, we call words.
    The power of words, then, lies in their【C8】______—the things they bring up before our minds.Words become【C9】______with meaning for us by experience;【C10】______the longer we live, the more certain words【C11】______to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we【C12】______, the more the number of words that mean something to us【C13】______.
    Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal【C14】______to our minds and emotions. This【C15】______and telling use of words is what we call【C16】______style. Above all, the real poet is a master of【C17】______. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which【C18】______their position and association can【C19】______men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will【C20】______our speech or writing silly and vulgar.
【C20】
选项 A、transform
B、change
C、make
D、convert
答案C
解析 考查固定搭配。make后可以跟随宾语和宾语补足语。此处为make sth．+adj．的结构，该句句意为“使我们的言辞无聊而又粗俗难听”。故C．make为正确答案。transform／change／convert／sth．into sth．表示“把某物变换为其他事物”，这三个词都不用于本句句型。
