问题     Language acquisition is one of the central topics in cognitive science.
Every theory of cognition has tried to explain it. Possessing a language is the
quintessentially human trait: all common humans speak, no nonhuman ani-【M1】______
mal does. Language is main vehicle by which we know about other people’s【M2】______
thoughts, and the two must be intimately related. Every time we speak we
are revealing something about language, because the facts of language【M3】______
structure are easy to come by: these data hints at a system of extraordinary【M4】______
complexity. Nonetheless, learning a first language is something every child
does successfully, as a matter of a few years and without the need for formal【M5】______
lessons. With language so close to the core of what it means to be human, it is
not surprising that children’s acquisition of language has received so much
attention.
    A relating question is whether language is unique to humans. At first【M6】______
glance the answer seems obvious. Other all animals communicate with a fixed【M7】______
repertoire of symbols, or with analogue variation like the mercury in a thermometer.
But nothing appears to have the combinatorial rule system of【M8】______
human language, in which symbols are changed into an unlimited set of combinations,
each with a determinate meaning. On the other hand, many other
claims about human uniqueness, such like that humans were the only animals【M9】______
to use tools or to fabricate them, have turned into to be false.【M10】______ [br] 【M6】
选项
答案 relating--related
解析 非谓语动词错误。表示“与……有关”的固定短语是be related to，故“相关的”作定语时，应该使用relate的过去分词形式related，该句表示“相关问题”，故将relating改为related。
