解析:

1.本句中由with which引導(dǎo)的定語從句，修飾先行詞those words。短語become acquainted with sb./sth.意為“認(rèn)識(shí)某人，了解某事。”

2.imitate意為“模仿”，stimulate意為“刺激，激發(fā)”。study和learn都有“學(xué)習(xí)”的意思，study著重研究，而learn指一般性的學(xué)習(xí)，故選D。

3.mate意為“伙伴，同事”，可組成復(fù)合名詞，如：classmate同學(xué)，roommate同房間的人。relative意為“親戚”，member意為“成員”，family member意為“家庭成員”，fellow意為“伙伴，家伙”。

4.which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，和前面的定語從句并列，修飾先行詞those words,關(guān)系代詞that只能在限制性定語從句中代替which。

5.even if在這里引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句。Even是副詞，不能引導(dǎo)狀語從句。In spite of和despite表示“盡管”，為介詞詞組或介詞，也不能引導(dǎo)狀語從句。

6.本句的意思是“它們涉及生活中的一般性事情，是所有使用這種語言的人慣用的語言材料。Concern意為“涉及”,mind和care表示“介意，計(jì)較”，relate表示“講述、敘述”。

7.use意為“使用”，apply意為“運(yùn)用”，hire意為“雇用”，adopt意為“采納”。

8.at large意為“普遍的、一般的”，in public意為“公開地、當(dāng)眾”，at most意為“至多、不超過”，at best意為“充其量、至多”。

9.share意為“份額、共享”。right和privilege意為“權(quán)利、特權(quán)”，在本句不符合題意。possession意為“擁有、占有”，通常指擁有財(cái)物。

10.comprise“包含、包括、由……組成”。compose常用于被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)be composed of表示“由……組成”。consist是不及物動(dòng)詞，必須和of組成短語動(dòng)詞表示“由……組成”，constitute意為“構(gòu)成”。

11.seldom意為“不經(jīng)常、很少”。

12.prospect意為“前景”；way“方式”；reason“理由”；necessity“必要性”。本句只有necessity符合句意�！　�

13.本句意為“我們最初既不是從母親嘴里，也不是從同學(xué)那里了解這些單詞的……”first“第一、首先”；primary“基本的、原始的”；prior“優(yōu)先的、在先的”；principal“主要的、首要的”。

14.learn sth from one?s lips是固定搭配，表示“從某人嘴里得知”。

15.but在這里表示轉(zhuǎn)折的含義。

16.attend a lecture“參加一個(gè)講座”。

17.formal“正式的”；former“以前的”；formula“公式、方程”；formative“形成的”。

18.topic“話題”；theme“主題”；point“要點(diǎn)”。本句指討論的話題，故選topic。

19.degree和extent均可表示程度，但extent還可表示“范圍”。本句意為：……討論問題的方式超越了日常生活的范圍，所以選extent。Border邊界，link連接。

20.diversion“轉(zhuǎn)移、轉(zhuǎn)向”；distinction“差別”；diversity“多樣性、變化”；similary“相似之處”。本句意為：學(xué)術(shù)性詞語和大眾化詞語之間的差別，故選distinction
