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.

选项
A、signs
B、gestures
C、signals
D、marks
答案
C
解析
作者在文章一开始就指出“A language is a signaling system"故这里要选择由signal,作“信号”讲,例 如:Soldiers in ancient China used to use smoke signals on the Great Wall.中国古代士兵曾在长城上用烽火作信号。而sign意为“标记,符号”,gesture指“姿态,手势”,mark指“标志,记号”。
