问题     There are several possible relationships between language and society.
One is what social structure may either influence or determine linguistic【M1】______
structure and/or behavior. And a certain evidence may be adduced to support【M2】______
this view: the age-grading phenomenon whereby young children speak
differently from elder children and, in turn, children speak differently from【M3】______
mature adults: studies which show that the varieties of language that speakers
use reflect such matters like their regional, social, or ethnic origin: and other【M4】______
studies which show that particular ways of speaking, choices of words, and
even rules for conversing are in fact highly determined by certain social
requirements.
    A second possible relationship is directly opposing to the first: linguistic【M5】______
structure and/or behavior may either influence or determine social structure.
Many of these who argue that languages rather than speakers of these languages【M6】______
can be " sexist". A third possible relationship is that the influence is bi
directional: language and society may influence each. A fourth possibility is to【M7】______
assume that there is no relationship at all between linguistic structure and social
structure and that every is independent of the other. A variant of this possibility【M8】______
would be to say that, although there might be some such relationship, present
attempts to characterize it is essentially premature, given what we know about【M9】______
both language and society. Actually, this variant view appears to be the one
that Chomsky himself holds: he prefers to develop an asocial linguistics such【M10】______
as a preliminary to any other kind of linguistics.
【M3】
选项
答案elder一older
解析 比较级错误。older和elder均为old的比较级，但是表达的含义不同。older表示“岁数更大一些的”或“更老一些的”，而elder表示的是“更加年长的”或“资格更老一些的”。根据句意可知，此处表示的是岁数更大一些的孩子们，故用older更好。
