问题     There are several possible relationships between language and society.
One is what social structure may either influence or determine linguistic【S1】______
structure and/or behavior. And a certain evidence may be adduced to support【S2】______
this view: the age-grading phenomenon whereby young children speak
differently from elder children and, in turn, children speak differently from【S3】______
mature adults: studies which show that the varieties of language that speakers
use reflect such matters like their regional, social, or ethnic origin: and other【S4】______
studies which show that particular ways of speaking, choices of words, and
even rules for conversing are in fact highly determined by certain social
requirements.
    A second possible relationship is directly opposing to the first: linguistic【S5】______
structure and/or behavior may either influence or determine social structure.
Many of these who argue that languages rather than speakers of these languages【S6】______
can be " sexist". A third possible relationship is that the influence is
bi-directional: language and society may influence each. A fourth possibility is【S7】______
to assume that there is no relationship at all between linguistic structure and
social structure and that every is independent of the other. A variant of this【S8】______
possibility would be to say that, although there might be some such
relationship, present attempts to characterize it is essentially premature, given【S9】______
what we know about both language and society. Actually, this variant view
appears to be the one that Chomsky himself holds: he prefers to develop an
asocial linguistics such as a preliminary to any other kind of linguistics.【S10】______
【S3】
选项
答案elder--older
解析 比较级错误。older和elder均为old的比较级，但是表达的含义不同。older表示“岁数更大一些的”或“更老一些的”，而elder表示的是“更加年长的”或“资格更老一些的”。根据句意可知，此处表示的是岁数更大一些的孩子们，故用older更好。
