Elevation refers to the process by which words rise from humble beginnings to positions of importance. The following words belong to elevation EXCEPT( ).
A、governor
B、minister
C、silly
D、fond
【正确答案】:C
【题目解析】:本题考查词义升格的常见例词。 governor原义指舵手,现义指总督,minister原义指仆人,现义指部长,fond原义指愚蠢,现义指喜爱,它们都属于词义的升格​;silly原义指高兴,现义指愚蠢,属于词义的降格。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C选项符合题意。
