Language is the most astonishing behavior in the animal kingdom. It is the species-typical behavior that 【C1】______ humans completely apart from all other animals. Language is a【C2】______of communication, but it is much more than that. Many animals can communicate. The dance of the honeybee communicates the 【C3】______ of flowers to other members of the hive (蜂群). But human language permits communication about anything, even things like unicorns (独角兽)that have never existed. The key lies in the fact that the units of meaning, words, can be 【C4】______ together in different ways, according to rules, to communicate different meanings.
Language is the most important learning we do. Nothing defines humans so much as our ability to communicate 【C5】______ thoughts, whether about the universe, the mind, love, dreams, or order ing a drink. It is an immensely 【C6】______ process that we take for granted. Indeed, we are not  【C7】______ of most aspects of our speech and understanding. Consider what happens when one person is speaking to another. The speaker has to translate thoughts into spoken language. Brain imaging studies suggest that the time from thoughts to the beginning of speech is 【C8】______ fast, only 0.04 seconds! The listener must hear the sounds to figure out what the speaker means. He must use the sounds of speech to identify the words spoken, understand the 【C9】______ of organization of the words (sentences), and finally 【C10】______ the meaning. This takes somewhat longer, a minimum of about 0.5 seconds. But once started, it is of course a continuous process. [br] 【C9】

选项
