Elevation refers to the process by which words rise from humble beginnings to positions of importance. The following words belong to elevation EXCEPT( ).
A、nice
B、angel
C、knight
D、picture
【正确答案】:D
【题目解析】:本题考查词义升格的常见例词。 nice原义指无知的,现义指令人愉快的,angel原义指信使,现义指天使,knight原义指仆人,现义指爵士,它们都属于词义的升格​;picture原义指绘画,现义指图片,属于词义的扩大。词义的升格是指原来表示低微意义的词转化而成为表示重要意义的词的词义演变过程。题干问的是不属于词义升格,故D选项符合题意。
