A language is a signaling system which operates with symbolic vocal sounds(语声), and which is used by a group of people for the purpose of communication.
Let’s look at this【C1】______in more detail because it is language, more than anything else,【C2】______distinguishes man from the rest of the【C3】______world.
Other animals, it is true, communicate with one another by【C4】______of cries: for example, many birds utter【C5】______calls at the approach of danger; monkeys utter【C6】______cries, such as expressions of anger, fear and pleasure.【C7】______these various means of communication differ in important ways【C8】______human language. For instance, animals’ cries do not【C9】______thoughts and feelings clearly. This means, basically, that they lack structure. They lack the kind of structure that【C10】______us to divide a human utterance into【C11】______.
We can change an utterance by【C12】______one word in it with【C13】______: a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g., "tanks approaching from the north",【C14】______who can change one word and say "aircraft approaching from the north" or "tanks approaching from the west"; but a bird has a single alarm cry,【C15】______means "danger!"
This is why the number of【C16】______that an animal can make is very limited: the great tit(山雀)is a case【C17】______point; it has about twenty different calls,【C18】______in human language the number of possible utterances is【C19】______. It also explains why animal cries are very【C20】______in meaning.
【C20】
选项
A、ordinary
B、alike
C、common
D、general
答案
D
解析
这一题曾迷倒了无数英雄。A)普通的,平常的,不出众的。如:He’s a ordinary student.C)共同的,常见的。如:It’s a common problem among students。这两个选项较易排除。D)指的是一般性的.普通的.大体上的只涉及到主要特征.而不是精细细节的。从上一段的例子中我们知道,鸟(任何鸟)只有一种表示危险的叫声,不能具体化。可知D)正确。很多人误选了B)。alike指相似,比similar更上一层。但要注意到空格后的in meaning。如果动物的叫声在意义上很相似的话,目.不说与常识相悖,岂不与第一段中提到的猴子能表达发怒、恐惧或高兴相矛盾吗?换言之,如果意义相似的话,那又怎么表达不同意义呢?
