Part Ⅴ Cloze
Every profession or trade, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary, the function of (62) is partly to (63) things or processes with. no names in ordinary English, and partly to secure greater exactness in terminology. (64) , they save time, for it is much more (65) , to name a process than to describe it. Thousands of these technical terms are very (66)included in every large dictionary, yet, as a whole, they are rather (67) the outskirts of the English language than actually within its borders。
Different occupations, however, differ (68) in their special vocabularies. It (69) largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have (70) themselves into the very fiber of our language. (71) , though highly technical in many details, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound, and more generally (72) , than most other technical terms. (73) every vocation still possesses a large (74) of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even (75) educated people. And the proportion has been much (76) in the last fifty years. Most of the newly (77) terms are (78) to special discussion, and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays, as all professions once (79) , a close federation. What is called "popular science" makes everybody (80) with modern view and recent discoveries.
