问题     Even a half-hearted onlooker cannot help but realize that in this
fast-paced world, most aspects of popular culture are constantly
changing, including that particular "subculture", what we know as the【M1】______
field of developmental disabilities. As our world changes, our words,
and the way we use them to describe the world, change as well. It
is far-fetched to say that changes in our language are among the most【M2】______
obvious indicators of overall societal change. Although names for
most things survive in an extended period, a great many do not New【M3】______
terms are created or lent from other cultures; old terms fall from【M4】______
common use; some words acquire of new meanings and usages.【M5】______
Sometimes the names of things do not change, but what they refer
to, their referents, change dramatically. For example, the particular
collections of tasks, duties, skills, abilities, and knowledge that give【M6】______
meaning to the term "nurse" in today’s operating rooms, are
immensely different than what the term "nurse" may have meant on【M7】______
a battlefield during the Civil War. Similarly, principals still manage
schools; however, today they often need to have the savvy of business【M8】______
person, the persistence of a labor negotiator, and the fortitude of a
police commissioner in addition to their abilities as educators. Indeed,
much of our world is now a swirling cacophony of changed words【M9】______
and referents, driven in large part by all of us. It is in the climate of【M10】______
cultural change, language change, and changing referents that we find
ourselves contemplating new terms in our field. [br] 【M4】
选项
答案 lent→borrowed
解析 词汇错误，易混词误用。lend和borrow都有“借”的意思，但lend指“将东西借出”，而borrow指“借人某东西”。此句指从其他文化中借人词语，应用borrow。
