     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 dearly. 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 【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 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. [br] 【C5】
选项 A、mating
B、exciting
C、warning
D、boring
答案 C
解析 根据the approach of danger，我们可知鸟发出呜叫是为了示警，故选用warning一词，意为“警告的，警示的”，例如：The teacher gave me a warning look．老师给我使一个警告的眼色。
