问题    Language is the most astonishing behavior in the animal kingdom. It is the species-typical behavior that sets humans completely【C1】______from all other animals. Language is a means of communication,【C2】______it is much more than that. Many animals can【C3】______. The dance of the honeybee communicates the location of flowers【C4】______other members of the hive (蜂群). But human language permits communication about anything,【C5】______things like unicorn (独角兽) that have never existed. The key【C6】______in the fact that the units of meaning, words, can be【C7】______together in different ways, according to【C8】______. to communicate different meanings.
   Language is the most important learning we do. Nothing【C9】______humans so much as our ability to communicate abstract thoughts,【C10】______about the universe, the mind, love, dreams, or ordering a drink. It is an immensely complex【C11】______that we take for granted. Indeed, we are not aware of most【C12】______of our speech and understanding. Consider what happens when one person is speaking to【C13】______. The speaker has to translate thoughts into【C14】______language. Brain imaging studies suggest that the time from thoughts to the【C15】______of speech is extremely fast, only 0.04 seconds! The listener must hear the sounds to【C16】______out what the speaker means. He must use the sounds of speech to【C17】______the words spoken, understand the pattern of【C18】______of the words (sentences), and finally【C19】______the meaning. This takes somewhat longer, a minimum of about 0.5 seconds. But【C20】______started, it is of course a continuous process.
【C16】
选项 A、put
B、take
C、draw
D、figure
答案D
解析 根据上下文，特别是空格后面所带的宾语从句，知道作者要表达谈话对象听到对方说话就需要“琢磨”对方想要表达的意思，所以根据动宾含义上的提示，判断出本题需要一个可以表达“理解，想出来”含义的动词。空格后面紧跟的介词out提示这是一个动词短语。四个选项都可以和out组成动词词组，但意思却大相径庭。选项[A]put out意为“熄灭”；选项[B]take out意为“取出”；选项[C]draw out意为“拉长”。只有选项[D]符合题意。
