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] 【C2】

选项 A、describe
B、talk about
C、designate
D、indicate

答案 C

解析 本题考查词义。根据上下文可知,此处单词要与things or processes搭配,C项designate意为“标明,表示”,用在一起,说明专业词汇的作用是表示事物和过程,因此为正确答案。A项 describe意为“描述”,根据后文,我们知道专业词汇不具备这样的作用,命名是比描述更简单的过程,所以排除。B项talk about意为“讨论,谈论”;D项indicate意为“指出”,更加不符合上下文的语意。
