C. to select

D. to compose

题目解答

答案

CB
C. to select
B. convey

解析

本题考查动词短语的搭配和语境理解。解题关键在于：

  1. 第一空需填入动词不定式，与前面的"skill"构成"the skill to do sth"结构，表示"选择词语的能力"；
  2. 第二空需填入动词原形，表示"用语言表达思想"，需注意"convey"与"language"的搭配逻辑。

第一空

关键点：

  • 原句结构为"the skill ()words"，需填入动词不定式作定语。
  • "select words"意为"选择词语"，符合诗歌创作中"选词"的语境。
  • "compose"虽有"创作"之意，但更强调整体创作，与"words"搭配性较弱。

第二空

关键点：

  • 原句中"language they choose to ()them"需填入动词，表示"用语言表达思想"。
  • "convey"意为"传达、表达"，与"language"搭配表示"用语言表达思想"。
  • "conceal"意为"隐藏"，与语境矛盾。
