Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：考古发掘与文物报道、历史或寻宝类叙述、日常谈论囤积物品 这里分析的是常用义项“隐藏的储备；窖藏”，多用于描述被藏起来的钱财、食物或贵重物品。这个词本身没有明显的正式或随便色彩，在新闻、历史叙述和日常谈话中都较常见，但若要表示施工围板或广告牌等义项，则属于较专门的用法。
Pronunciation & Spelling
押韵说明：按常见的英式发音，hoard /hɔːd/ 与 board /bɔːd/、horde /hɔːd/、sword /sɔːd/、lord /lɔːd/ 押韵；但题目给出的音标为 /hɒ:d/，若严格照此发音，则它们并不完全押韵。注意 heard /hɜːd/ 与 hard /hɑːd/ 只是拼写相近，发音不同；cupboard /ˈkʌbəd/ 虽以 board 结尾，读音也很不同。
