The more definitions a given noun has, the more valuable is each one. Multiple definitions, each subtly different from all the others, convey multiple shades of meaning. They expand the uses of the word; language is enriched, thought is widened, and inter-
line pretations increase or dilate to fill the potentialities of association. The very impossi-
5 bility of absoluteness in the definition of certain nouns adds to the levels of connotation they may reach. The inner life of a writer often says more than most readers can know; the mind of a reader can discover truths that go beyond the intent or perhaps even the comprehension of the writer. And all of it finds expression because a word can mean many things.
Description
The passage claims that the capacity of words to have multiple meanings can greatly enhance the resources of a language. The passage describes how this increases possibilities for interpretation and the expression of ideas, thus enriching the relationship between readers and writers.

D、coverings
E、degrees
答案
B
解析
In the context in which it appears, "shades" is used to refer to the subtle distinctions in meaning that are made possible by "multiple definitions, each subtly different from all the others." Since the sentence deals with multiple definitions conveying meaning, Choice C("obscurities")and the more literal Choice D("coverings")may be eliminated. In deciding between Choice B and Choice E, one should bear in mind that the sentence focuses on subtle differences in meaning as opposed to different degrees of emphasis for the same meaning. Choice B, "nuances," best captures this sense of slight variations in meaning and is therefore the correct answer.
