A language is a signaling system which operates with symbolic vocal sounds , and which is used by a group of people for the purpose of communication.
Let s look at this 1 in more detail because it is language, more than anything else, 2 distinguishes man from the rest of the 3 world.
Other animals, it is true, communicate with one another by 4 of cries: for example, many birds utter 5 calls at the approach of danger; monkeys utter 6 cries, such as expressions of anger, fear and pleasure. 7 these various means of communication differ in important ways 8 human language. For instance, animals cries do not 9 thoughts and feelings clearly. This means, basically, that they lack structure. They lack the kind of structure that 10 us to divide a human utterance into 11.
We can change an utterance by 12 one word in it with 13: a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g., tanks approaching from the north , 14 who can change one word and say aircraft approaching from the north or tanks approaching from the west but a bird has a single alarm cry, 15 means danger!
This is why the number of 16 that an animal can make is very limited: the great tit is a case 17 point; it has about twenty different calls, 18 in human language the number of possible utterances is 19. It also explains why animal cries are very 20 in meaning.

答案与解析:
1.B 此题考查普通词汇。上文给出的明显是语言的定义,因此,答案选definition。
2.C 此题考查的语法点是定语从句。从空缺前的逗号可以推断出,这是个非限定性定语从句,四个选项中,能作为非限定性定语从句的关系代词的只有as,表达 正如语言将人类和其他物质区分开来的一样。
3.C 此题考查上下文理解。语言将人和物质世界的其他物质区分开来。
4.B 此处考查固定搭配,by means of表示 通过 方式或途径 。因此,选B。
5.C 此处考查词汇和上下文理解,在危险来临之际,鸟儿们发出的应该是警告声。故选warning。
6.C 从后文可得知,猴子能通过声音表达愤怒、恐惧和高兴。由此推断可知,猴子发出的叫声应该是不同的。故选C。
7.A 此处考查介词及上下文理解,作者旨在拿动物发出的声音和人类的语言进行比较。前文叙述动物也能发出不同的声音,这里说的是动物的交流方式与人类语言在几个重大的方面是不同,前后文为转折关系。故选but。
8.C 此处考查固定搭配:differ from。
9.D infer表示 推断 ,explain指 解释 ,interpret表示 解释、说明 。这里选express最符合文意。
10.B 见11题。
11.C 这两题放在一起来分析。原文意思应是: 人类拥有能把话语细分成单词的某种结构,而动物却没有。 10题的encourage,enforce,ensure都不符合题意。而11题,比话语更小的单位应该是words。故此题选C。
12.A 此题考查上下文理解。下文举例说明的部分提到将一句话的某个词换成另外的词,由此推断可知,此处选择replace。
13.C 表达用另一个词代替,用another。
14.B 此题考查上下文理解,会说一句话和能够把这句话里的某个单词用别的词替换,这之间表达的应是一种并列关系。故选B。
15.C 此题考查非限定性定语从句,必须用which。
16.C 动物发出的声音不能形容为 标记 、 记号 或是 手势 ,因此,只有signal信号才是正确选择。
17.A 此处考查固定搭配。in point指 适用的,相关的 .
18.A 作者将山雀能发出20种叫声与人类语言能发出更多的声音相比较,这里应该选择转折连词:whereas。
19.C 参照上题,此处将人能发出的声音数量与动物进行比较。boundless,changeable,ceaseless,因此,正确选项是C。
20.B 根据上文,动物只能发出有限的声音。
