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.

1.【答案】b【解析】本句中由with which引导的定语从句，修饰先行词those words。短语become acquainted with sb./sth.意为“认识某人，了解某事。”
2.【答案】d【解析】imitate意为“模仿”，stimulate意为“刺激，激发”。study和learn都有“学习”的意思，study着重研究，而learn指一般性的学习，故选d。
3.【答案】c【解析】mate意为“伙伴，同事”，可组成复合名词，如：classmate同学，roommate同房间的人。relative意为“亲戚”，member意为“成员”，family member意为“家庭成员”，fellow意为“伙伴，家伙”。
