It is of course true that in a certain sense the individual is
predestined to talk, but that is due entirely to the circumstance, that is,
he is born not merely in nature, but in the lap of a society that is
certain, reasonably certain, to lead him to their traditions. Eliminate【S1】________
society and it is every reason to believe that he will learn to walk, and, 【S2】________
indeed, he will survive at all. But it is just as certain as that he will【S3】________
never learn to talk, that is, to communicate ideas according to the
tradition system of a particular society. Or, again, remove the newborn【S4】________
individual from the social environment into which he has come and
transplant him to an utterly alien one. He will develop the art of walking
in his new environment very much as he will have developed it in the【S5】________
old. But his speech will completely at variance with the speech of his【S6】________
native environment. Walking, then, is a general human activity that
varies only within circumscribed limits as we pass from individual to
individual. Its variability is voluntary and purposeless. Speech is a【S7】________
human activity that varies without assignable limit as we pass from social
group to social group, because it is a pure historical heritage of the【S8】________
group, the product of long-continued social usage. It varies as all
creative effort varies--not as consciously, perhaps, but none the less as
truly as do the religions, the beliefs, the customs, and the arts of
different people. Walking is an organic, an instinctive function(not, of【S9】________
course, itself all instinct);speech is a non-instinctive, acquiring, 【S10】________
“cultural” function.
【S3】
选项
答案
第二个as去掉
解析
介词冗余。此句中,it是形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的从句,此处ascertain后面省略了as that he will learn to walk。不能把it理解成指代前面的那句话,因为上文已经表明了“我们肯定他将学会走路”,因此去掉第二个as。这两句话的意思是“离开社会,我们有充分的理由相信他将学会走路并确实能生存下去。但是,我们同样肯定他将永远学不会交谈,即根据一个社会的传统体系来表达思想的能力。”
