All social animals communicate with each other, from bees and ants to
whales and apes, but only humans have developed the language which is more【M1】______
than a set of prearranged signals. Our speech even differs on a physical way【M2】______
from the communication of other animals. It comes from a speech center
which does not respond instinctively, but organizes sound and meaning on a
rational basis. This section of the brain is unique to humans. When and how
the special talent of language developed is impossible to say. So it is generally【M3】______
assumed that their evolution must have been a long process. Our ancestors【M4】______
were probably speaking a million of years ago, but with a slower delivery, a【M5】______
smaller vocabulary and of all a simpler grammar than we are accustomed to.【M6】______
The origins of human language will perhaps remain for ever obscure. With【M7】______
contrast the origin of individual languages has been the subject of very precise
study over the past two centuries. There are about 5,000 languages spoken in
the world today(a third of them in Africa), but scholars group them together
into relative few families—probably less than twenty. Languages are linked【M8】______
to each other in shared words or sounds or grammatical constructions. The【M9】______
theory is that the members of each linguistic group have descended from one
language, a common ancestor. In many cases that original language is judged
by the experts to have been spoken in surprisingly recent times—as little a few【M10】______
thousand years ago.
【M8】
选项
答案
relative—relatively
解析
词性错误。该句意为:学者们把它们分为相对少量的词族。在这里few是形容词,应使用副词relatively修饰few。

我从小喜欢阅读大人物的传记和回忆录,慢慢归纳出一个公式:凡是大人物都是受苦受难的,他们的生命几乎都是“人生不如意事十之八九”的真实证言,但他们在面对苦难时也都能保持正向的思考,能“常想一二”,最后他们都超越苦难,苦难便化成生命中最肥沃的养料。使我深受感动的
