阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余选项。
Variety is the spice of language. The words listed in this book are not intended to replace those that
most people use most of the time. Rather, they are variations of the theme. We tend to use the same old
words over and over again, to limit our power of expression by limiting our vocabulary. There is nothing
wrong with the “old words”. 1
How often have you spoken of having an accident? 2 Everyone talks of the usual thing to do or
expect. Might not one, to enrich his speech, speak of the customary thing or why not occasionally describe
a situation as aggravated instead of worsened?
3 Vary them with the “new words”. English is an especially rich language, and often there are
tiny differences between two words that are generally regarded as the same. Thus, a mishap(小事故) is
not merely an accident; it is an unfortunate accident. (There can be fortunate accidents, like bumping into
an old friend you haven t seen for years and whose address you ve lost. ) 4 Other examples: fragrant,
for smelling good, or having a nice smell; morsel, for bit; deft, for skillful or clever.
No doubt a good many words in the list will be familiar to you, but do you use them, or do they
remain the “property” of others? They are included to introduce the variety, and, more often than not,
subtle(含蓄的) shades of meaning into your speech and writing. 5 Let them compete, and make your
language all the richer. (江苏省扬州中学 2021 届高三上学期 12 月月考)
