问题     Is language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be starved and damaged?【C1】______ the drastic experiment of Frederick II in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover【C2】______ language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep【C3】______.
    All the infants died before the first years. But clearly there was more than【C4】______ language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the【C5】______ to survive is seriously affected.
    Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick.【C6】______, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the【C7】______ for this is that the mother is insensitive to the【C8】______ of the infant, whose brain【C9】______ to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for【C10】______ skills passes and they might never be learned so【C11】______ again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard【C12】______ the critical stage has passed.

【C20】
选项 A、those
B、that
C、one
D、ones
答案B
解析 语法题。此句中that指代the language。为了避免重复，句子中的名词重复出现时可以用代词that，one，those或ones来指代。that指代“定冠词+单数可数名词”，one指代“不定冠词+单数可数名词”，those和ones均指代复数名词。故选项B正确。
