10、her words D. Above all答案及解析 115 BAADC BABAB CDDAC1. B 此处意为：当人类刚刚开始进化，他们如同新生儿一样不会运用语言这种工具。evolved逐渐发展，进化符合题意。generated生殖，发展；born (bear的过去分词)不能作谓语动词；originated起源，不能用first修饰。2. A 根据语法分析，答案应用来修饰语言的。valuable珍贵的；appropriate合适的，适当的；convenient方便的，便利的；favorite最喜欢的。语言并不是人类选择的结果，而是人类在进化过程中慢慢发展起来的，对人类来说，应当是珍贵的。

11、3. A 此处意思是：语言的发展增加了人类未来的成就和文化进步的可能性。attainments成就；feasibility可行性；entertainments娱乐；evolution进化。4. D 此处意为：许多语言学家认为进化使人们产生和具备了语言的能力。固定短语be responsible for对负责，是的原由。其它选项不与for搭配。5. C 根据语法分析,空格后应是一个宾语从句，而A，B，D三项后都不能接从句做直接宾语。confirm(确认)+名词；inform(通知)sb. of sth.；convince(使某人确信) sb .of sth.6. B 此处意为：我们高度发达的大脑

12、是我们具备了其它低等动物所不具备的语言能力。显然，这里是把人和低等动物相比较。因此选organisms有机体，生物体。7. A 此句意思是：人类的语言能力是与生俱来的，但语言本身也在逐渐发展，所以这种能力应该是潜在的。potential潜力；performance履行；preference偏爱；passion激情。8. B 此句意为：语言的发展有一个关键期，人体的成长是生物变化的过程。biological生物的；ideological思想上的；social社会的；psychological心理的。9. A 此处意为：目前人们对“先天论”评论观点不一，但是支持某些天生能力的证据却是确凿无疑的。r

13、eviews评论；reference参考；reaction反应；recommendation推荐。10. B 此处意为：通过接触多种语言，孩子们可以学会好几种语言。be exposed to是固定搭配，接触到。reveal(显露)sth. to sb.，不合题意，因本题中的them指languages。其余选项不与to搭配。engage in从事；be involved in参与。11. C 此句意思是：一旦母语的规则被深深印入脑海中，成年人就很难再学好另一种语言。rules规则，规律；regulations规定；formations构成，构造；constitutions宪法，章程。12. D

14、 此句意为：与人隔绝的儿童不能掌握好一门语言。isolated孤立的，与人隔绝的；distinguished区别的，杰出的；different不同的；protected受到保护的。13. D 此句总结前几句，意为：必须通过与他人交往，语言才能够发展。interaction相互作用；exposition暴露；comparison比较；contrast对比。14. A 根据分析，本句中的“this”和“even more basic”分别指代上句的“interaction with other human beings”和“necessary”，此处所填词对应上文中的language development。也就是说，language acquisition语言习得。appreciation欣赏,感激；requirement要求；alternative转移，转变，转换。15. C 本句功能是以另一种方式解释前文中的“imitative, learned behavior.(模仿性的后天行为)”。In other words换言之，换句话说；As a result结果是；After all毕竟；Above all首先。
