One of the liveliest debates in linguistics is over whether all
languages share fundamental properties. If so, perhaps language is a
universal feature of evolution. To find out, scholars have looked to
other universal features, and one in special:no society on Earth lacks【S1】________
music. The comparison illuminates that is special about both. 【S2】________
Music and language seem intimately linked, but how? Did
language start with song, as Darwin believed? Or is music “auditory
cheesecake” that developed of language and other useful faculties, as【S3】________
Steven Pinker, a Harvard psychologist, has said? Is music it a language, 【S4】________
as Stevie Wonder intoned? Might the two be fundamentally same?【S5】________
Some similarities are obvious. Both can utilise the unique human
vocal tract. Both have a kind of beat. Both can express emotion. Both
can be neither carefully composed or spontaneously improvised. And【S6】________
both are high social. Although the origin of music is unclear, it seems【S7】________
likely to have included celebration, communal worship or martial【S8】________
inspiration and co-ordination.
At a structural level the parallels are striking, too. With a finite set
of notes or words, and a finite set of rules, an inexhaustible variety of
novel melodies or sentences call be created. This “discrete infinity” is
often said to be a hallmark of human language. Animal communication, 【S9】________
by contrast, is only able to convey a limited number of thought(the【S10】________
location of a source of food, for example, or the presence of a
predator).
【S6】
选项
答案
neither—either
解析
固定搭配错误。联系上下文可知,该处意为“两者要么是精心创作的,要么是即兴创作的”。因此,该句应使用固定搭配"either…or…”,表示“要么……要么……,或者……或者……”,“neither…nor…”意为“既不……也不……”。故根据句意,应将neither改为either。
