问题     Humanity’s highly developed ability to communicate verbally is our
essence. With our tremendous vocabulary, we would perhaps be not【S1】________
much better off than gorillas and monkeys. Language is taken as granted【S2】________
since it is a basic characteristic. But it is, for all its universality, among
the most powerful of human tools. " The pen is mightier than the sword. "
    We define language a system of communication that is primarily【S3】________
verbal, symbolic, dually-patterned, and arbitrary and is used by humans
with common cultural expectancies. Language is also a mean to【S4】________
communicate ideas, knowledge and emotions to other individuals
through the use of the body. The system of communication used is a set
of codes or rules; a specific signaling system developed by humans.
This signaling system consists of sounds used by individuals to express
knowledge, emotions and ideas. This system is learned and passed on
through culture transmission by the teaching and the imitation of others.【S5】________
This system is significant so it is purely human in nature and no other【S6】________
species are able to duplicate our system. Language is primarily verbal
because it is part of the grammatical machine in humans which uses a【S7】________
sound, phonology, to express ideas and emotions.
    The broadest definition for language includes much more. For【S8】________
example, we have codes, such as Morse, smoke signals, body
language, and to extent even music. Computer programs include special【S9】________
coding that can in some sense being called language.【S10】________ [br] 【S2】
选项
答案 as—for
解析 固定搭配中的介词误用。“take…for granted”为固定搭配，意为“认为……是理所当然的”，此处应将as改为for。该句意为“语言被想当然地认为是人类的一个基本特征。”
