问题     Language is a set of verbal symbols that are primarily
auditory, but second written, now in more than 2,200【S1】 __________________
different languages with more than 400 orthographic systems
for computer adaption. It also constitutes of【S2】___________________
the most distinctive feature of a culture, that may be【S3】 ___________________
described in a simplistic manner as the totality of the
beliefs and practices of a society. And although a
language may regarded as a relatively small part of a【S4】 ___________________
culture, it is indispensable for both the functioning and the
perpetuation of a culture.  Accordingly, competent translators【S5】___________________
are always aware that ultimately words only have meaning
in terms of the corresponding culture. But because【S6】___________________
a language can usually be acquired within a period of ten years,
it took a lifetime to understand and become【S7】___________________
an integral part of a culture. In order to understand and
appreciate the related roles of language and culture as
two dependent symbolic systems, it may be helpful to【S8】___________________
describe some of their more relevant similarities, differences,
and interrelations. Their similarities can perhaps
be best understood in terms of early acquisition, loss,
collective activity and socio semiotic factor.  The differences【S9】 ___________________
can also be described in terms of language as the most distinctive feature of a culture and
the underlying forces that sustain and drive the culture. The relations【S10】___________________
between language and culture can then be described in terms of reciprocal modification and the representation
of culture by language.
【S10】
选项
答案relations→interrelations
解析 本题所在行句号前的句子从语义、句法上看，都未有缺失或不妥的地方。其后句子的主干为The relations can then be described…，从语法层面上看，relations用在此处并没有问题。但前文谈到，理解语言和文化两者的关系可以从三个方面着手：相似性(similarities)、不同之处(differences)和相互关联性(interrelations)，而本题所在行前已将这三个方面的前两方面进行了论述，因此，此处应该为论述第3方面的内容。故从语义上看，relations应改为interrelations，以保持行文的逻辑。
