It is of course true that in a certain sense the individual is
predestined to talk, but that is due entirely to the circumstance,
that is, he is born not merely in nature, but in the lap of a society
that is certain, reasonably certain, to lead him to their traditions.【S1】______
Eliminate society and it is every reason to believe that he will【S2】______
learn to walk, and, indeed, he will survive at all. But it is just
as certain as that he will never learn to talk, that is, to【S3】______
communicate ideas according to the tradition system of a【S4】______
particular society. Or, again, remove the newborn individual
from the social environment into which he has come and
transplant him to an utterly alien one. He will develop the art of
walking in his new environment very much as he will have【S5】______
developed it in the old. But his speech will completely at variance【S6】______
with the speech of his native environment. Walking, then, is a
general human activity that varies only within circumscribed limits
as we pass from individual to individual. Its variability is voluntary【S7】______
and purposeless. Speech is a human activity that varies without
assignable limit as we pass from social group to social group,
because it is a pure historical heritage of the group, the product of【S8】______
long-continued social usage. It varies as all creative effort varies—
not as consciously, perhaps, but none the less as truly as do the
religions, the beliefs, the customs, and the arts of different people.【S9】______
Walking is an organic, an instinctive function(not, of course,
itself an instinct); speech is a non-instinctive, acquiring,【S10】______
"cultural" function. [br] 【S9】
选项
答案
people—peoples
解析
词义混淆。people作为集合名词,意思是“人类,人们”,但是它还可以作可数名词的单数,意思是“民族,种族”。根据上下文可知,此处考查“民族,种族”之意,而且被different所修饰,故应使用其复数形式peoples。
