单选题
A. at B. with C. by D. through
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查语法。考点为限制性定语从句。本句的with which．．．是定语从句，修饰先行词those words。become acquainted with sth/sb表示“了解某事，认识某人”。
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查异形近义动词的词义辨析。句意：“它们(我们熟悉的词语)涉及生活中的一般，陛事情，是所有使用这种语言的人都使用的语言材料。”mind和care作为及物动词，均表示“介意，计较”，例：I don't mind/care your going there．“你去那里我不介意。”；relate作及物动词时，意思是“叙述/讲述，使互相关联”，作不及物动词时，意思是“有关联”，均不合题意；concern“涉及，关心”，例：The discussion that is being held now concern the project which will be under construction next month．“正在进行的讨论涉及下个月就要投入建设的工程。”

单选题
A. in public B. at most C. at large D. at best
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查介词词组辩义。句意：“这样的一些词语或许可以称做大众化的词语，因为它们属于所有使用这种语言的人，而不是某一个特定阶层专有的东西。”in public“公开地，当众”；at most“至多，不超过”；at best“充其量，至多”，例；She will be backin half：year at most．“她至多半年后回来。”at large“普遍的，一般的”，例：We must pay attention to the education of the society at large．符合上下文意思。
单选题
A. right B. privilege C. share D. possession
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查形容词与名词间的连接关系。right“权利”；privilege“特权”，这两个选项不合题意。possession“拥有(物)”，似乎很合题意，但possession常指某人实际拥有的财物，并常用复数，如：personal possessions“个人财产”，因此possession也不合题意。另外possession用作单数时，表示拥有，常见搭配有be in one's possession/come into one's possession“(某物)为某人所拥有”，be in(keep) possession of sth /cme into possession of sth“(某人)占有某物”，例：After the king's death，the old castle was in the queen's possession．…‘国王死后，古老的城堡归王后所有”。share表示“份额，一份，共享”，符合本句题意。
单选题
A. consists B. comprises C. constitutes D. composes
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查动词的词义辨析。句意：“另一方面，我们的语言还包括了大量相对而言在日常生活中很少使用的词语。”comprise“包含、包括、由…组成、构成”，例：The delegation to the U．S．A comprised seven university professors and five high school teachers． (or：Seven university professors and five high school teachers comprised the delegation to the U，S．丸)“七位大学教授和五位中学教师组成了赴美代表团。” compose常用被动结构be composed of表示“由…组成”；consist是不及物动词，须和of组成短语动词表示“由...组成”；constitute“构成”,例：Eleven members constituted the board of directors in our company．“十一个人组成了我们公司的董事会。”根据以上分析，只有B符合题意。
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查语法。考点是主谓一致。本句的主语部分是our first acquaintance with these words，中心词是acquaintance。acquaintance是不可数名词，应选动词的单数形式。又因为通篇文章都是一般现在时态，故选B项。其它项都为干扰项。
单选题
A. tips B. mouth C. lips D. tongue
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查动词惯用法。句意：“我们最初既不是从母亲那里也不是从同学那里了解这些单词的……”。learn sth from one's lips是惯用法，表示“从某人嘴里得知某事”而不说learn sth from one's mouth．例：We can never draw the secret from her lips．“我们从她嘴里休想知道这个秘密”。另外，one's mother tongue才表示母语或本国语。
