Yet once language developed, the possibilities for humankind’s future attainments and cultural growth increased.
Many linguists believe that evolution is【C3】______ for our ability to produce and use language.

Proponents of this innateness (先天) theory say that our 【C5】______ for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually as a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical biological times for language development.

Indeed, more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in the lower grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being【C7】 ______ to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the rules of their first language have become firmly fixed.
Although some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop tomatically in a vacuum. Children who have been【C8】 ______ from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that【C9】______ with other human beings is necessary for proper language development. Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language【C10】 ______ than any innate capacities. These theories view language as imitative, learned behavior. In other words, children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child’s language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.

选项
答案
F
解析
从语法结构看,空格后是一个宾语从句,因此空格处应填谓语动词,且此动词后可跟从句。从上下文判断,很多语言学家发表自己的看法,那么此处应是表达意见的单词claim(声称,断言)。空格所在句的意思是:“他们声称人类的高度进化的大脑给我们提供了在其他低级的生物体所不具备的天生的语言能力。”
