People thinking about the origin of language for the first time usually arrive at the conclusion that it developed gradually as a system of grunts, hisses and cries and【C1】______a very simple affair in the beginning.【C2】______, when we observe the language behaviour of【C3】______we regard as primitive cultures, we find it【C4】______complicated. It was believed that an Eskimo must have at the tip of his tongue a vocabulary of more than 10,000 words【C5】______to get along reasonably well, much larger than the active vocabulary of an average businessman who speaks English.【C6】______, these Eskimo words are far more highly inflected(词尾变化的)than【C7】______of any of the well-known European languages, for a【C8】______noun can be spoken or written in【C9】______hundred different forms, each【C10】______a precise meaning different from that of any other. The forms of the verbs are even more【C11】______The Eskimo language is, therefore, one of the most difficult in the world to learn,【C12】______the result that almost no traders or explorers have【C13】______tried to learn it. Consequently, there has grown up, in communication between Eskimos and whites, a jargon【C14】______to the pidgin English used in Old China, with a vocabulary of from 300 to 600 uninflected words. Most of them are derived from Eskimo but some are derived from English, Danish, Spanish, Hawaiian and other languages. It is this jargon that is usually【C15】______by travellers as " the Eskimo language".
【C10】
选项
A、getting
B、causing
C、having
D、owning
答案
C
解析
从词义上可排除A、B;have和own虽然均可表示“拥有,具有”的意思,但后者一般不与“meaning”搭配。如:It doesn’t seem to have much meaning.(似乎无多大意义。)故本题选C。
