22. Most children find it very difficult to explain exactly what the words they use mean when those words do not refer to things that can be seen or touched. Yet since children are able to use these words to convey the feelings and emotions they are obviously experiencing, understanding what a word means clearly does not depend on being able to explain it. Which one of the following principles, if accepted, would provide the most justification for the conclusion?
(A) The fact that a task is very difficult for most people does not mean that no one can do it.
(B) Anyone who can provide an exact explanation of a word has a clear understanding of what that word means.
(C) Words that refer to emotions invariably have less narrowly circumscribed conventional meanings than do word that refer to physical objects.
(D) When someone appropriately uses a word to convey something that he or she is experiencing, that person understands what that word mean.
(E) Words can be explained satisfactorily only when they refer to things that can be seen or touched
The key is D. Why?
This is similar to an assumption question, so you can try "deny test".
Deny D, we get "When someone appropriately uses a word to convey something that he or she is experiencing, that person does not necessarily understand what that word mean." If so, then the implicit assertion in the original passage that when "children ... use these words to convey the feelings and emotions they are obviously experiencing", they understand " what a word means" falls apart. Therefore, D provides necessary support to the original passage and is the best answer.
其实我们往往被题干绕糊涂了……仔细读懂题干的逻辑，题目不难做啊……
