A language is a signaling system which operates with symbolic vocal sounds, and which is used by a group of people for the purpose of communication.
Let’s look at this【C1】________ in more detail because it is language, more than anything else, that【C2】________ man from the rest of the animal world.
Other animals, it is true, communicate with one another by means of cries: for example, many birds utter【C3】________ calls at the approach of danger; monkeys utter【C4】________cries, such as expressions of anger, fear and pleasure. But these various means of communication differ in important ways from human language. For instance, animals’ cries do not【C5】________ thoughts and feelings clearly. This means, basically, that they lack structure. They lack the kind of structure that enables us to divide a human utterance into【C6】________.
We can change an utterance by【C7】________ one word in it with another a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g., "tanks approaching from the north", and who can change one word and say "aircraft approaching from the north" or "tanks approaching from the west"; but a bird has a【C8】________ alarm cry, which means "danger! "
This is why the number of signals that an animal can make is very limited: the great tit is a case in point; it has about twenty different calls, whereas in human language the number of possible utterances is【C9】________. It also explains why animal cries are very【C10】________ in meaning.
【C3】
选项
答案
B
解析
空格前为动词utter,而空格后为名词calls,因此空格需填入形容词或能起到形容词作用的分词,修饰calls。根据空格后的at the approach of danger“在危险来临时”,可推断鸟类应该会发出警告的叫声,故选B项warning。
