Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human kind’s future【C3】______and cultural growth increased.
    Many linguists believe that evolution is【C4】______for our ability to produce and use language. They【C5】______that our highly evolved brain provides us【C6】______an innate language ability not founded in lower【C7】______. Proponents of this innateness theory say that our【C8】______for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually,【C9】______a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical【C10】______times for language development.

【C1】
选项 A、generated
B、evolved
C、born
D、originate
答案B
解析 此处意为：当人类刚刚开始进化，他们如同新生儿一样不会运用语言这种工具。evolved逐渐发展，进化符合题意。generated生殖，发展；born(bear的过去分词)不能作谓语动词；originated起源，不能用first修饰。
