   Language is the most astonishing behavior in the animal kingdom. It is the species-typical behavior that 【C1】______ humans completely apart from all other animals. Language is a【C2】______of communication, but it is much more than that. Many animals can communicate. The dance of the honeybee communicates the 【C3】______ of flowers to other members of the hive (蜂群). But human language permits communication about anything, even things like unicorns (独角兽)that have never existed. The key lies in the fact that the units of meaning, words, can be 【C4】______ together in different ways, according to rules, to communicate different meanings.
   Language is the most important learning we do. Nothing defines humans so much as our ability to communicate 【C5】______ thoughts, whether about the universe, the mind, love, dreams, or order ing a drink. It is an immensely 【C6】______ process that we take for granted. Indeed, we are not  【C7】______ of most aspects of our speech and understanding. Consider what happens when one person is speaking to another. The speaker has to translate thoughts into spoken language. Brain imaging studies suggest that the time from thoughts to the beginning of speech is 【C8】______ fast, only 0.04 seconds! The listener must hear the sounds to figure out what the speaker means. He must use the sounds of speech to identify the words spoken, understand the 【C9】______ of organization of the words (sentences), and finally 【C10】______ the meaning. This takes somewhat longer, a minimum of about 0.5 seconds. But once started, it is of course a continuous process.
【C6】
选项
答案E
解析 空格前为副词immensely，空格后为名词process，因而空格处应填入形容词被副词immensely修饰。句中It指代上文提到的our ability to communicate…thoughts，交流思想实际上并不简单，此处需要填入与we take for granted意义相反的词，词库中形容词complex“复杂的”符合要求，故选E项。brief“短暂的；简洁的”为干扰项，与we take for granted不能形成语义上的对比，填入句中语义不通，故排除。
