People thinking about the origin of language for the first time usually arrive at the conclusion that it developed gradually as a system of grunts, hisses and cries and 【C1】______ a very simple affair【C2】______ . 【C3】______, when we observe the language behaviour of 【C4】______ we regard as primitive cultures, we find it 【C5】______ complicated. It was believed that an Eskimo must have at the tip of his tongue a vocabulary of more than 10,000 words 【C6】______ to get along reasonably well, much larger than the【C7】______ vocabulary of an average businessman who speaks English.
【C8】______ these Eskimo words are far more highly inflected than 【C9】______ of any of the well-known European languages, for a【C10】______noun can be spoken or written in【C11】______hundred different forms, each【C12】______a precise meaning different from【C13】______of any other. The forms of the verbs are even more【C14】______. The Eskimo language is,【C15】______one of the most difficult in the world to learn,【C16】______the result that almost no traders or explorers have【C17】______tried to learn it.【C18】______, there has grown up, in communication between Eskimos and whites, a jargon【C19】______to the pidgin English used in Old China, with a vocabulary of from 300 to 600 uninflected words. Most of them are derived from Eskimo but some are derived from English, Daish, Spanish, Hawaiian and other languages. It is this jargon that is usually【C20】______by travellers as "the Eskimo language".
【C10】
选项
A、single
B、singular
C、plural
D、compound
答案
A
解析
考查形容词辨析。这句话是在强调爱斯基摩单词词尾变化的复杂性。a single noun表示“单单一个名词”,single在句子中恰好可以起到强调的作用,所以符合文意,故A.single为正确选项。其他三个选项都可与noun搭配,singular noun表示“单数名词”,plural noun表示“复数名词”,compound noun表示“复合名词”,都不符合文意。
