问题       From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us. When humans first【C1】______  they were like newborn children, unable to use this 【C2】______  tool. Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human kinds’ future 【C3】______  and culture growth increased.
     Many linguists believe that evolution is 【C4】______  for our ability to produce and use language. They 【C5】______  that our highly evolved brain provides us 【C6】______  innate language ability not found in lower 【C7】______  . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 【C8】______  for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, 【C9】______  a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical 【C10】______  times for language development.
      Current 【C11】______  of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable. 【C12】______  more and more schools arc discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 【C13】______  grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being 【C14】______  to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 【C15】______  of their first language have been firmly fixed.
     【C16】______  some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum.  Children who have been 【C17】______  from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that 【C18】______  with other human beings unnecessary for proper language developments.  Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 【C19】______  than any innate capacities. These theories view language as imitative, learned behavior. 【C20】______  , 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. [br] 【C20】
选项 A、Above all
B、In other words
C、After all
D、As a result
答案 B
解析 副词词组衔接题。上文说语言是学习得来的，是模仿行为的结果。紧接着换一种说法，解释说也就是从父母那里模仿学来的，故B 符合义意。above all“最重要，首先”；after all“毕竟”；as a result“结果”。
