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 to 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 fiber 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 discussion, 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 view and recent discoveries. Any important experiment,【C20】______ made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the newspaper, and everybody is soon talking about it. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.  [br] 【C4】
