问题    We use language every day. We live in a world of words. Hardly
any moment passes with someone talking, writing or reading. Indeed,      【1】______
language is most essential to mankind. Our lives increasingly
depend on fast and successful use of language. Strangely enough,         【2】______
we know more about things around us than on ourselves. For               【3】______
example, language is species specific, that is, it is language
that differs humans from animals. However, we do not                     【4】______
know yet how exactly we inquire language and how it is possible          【5】______
for us to perceive through language; nor we understand precisely         【6】______
the combinations between language and thought, language and              【7】______
logic, or language and culture; still less, how and when language started.
One reason for this inadequate knowledge of language is that, we
like language users, take too many things for granted. Language comes    【8】______
to every normal person so naturally that a few of us stop to             【9】______
question what language is, much less do we feel the necessity to study it.
Language is far more complex than most people have probably
imagined and the necessity to study it is far greater than some
people may have assured. Linguistics is a branch of science              【10】______
which takes language as its object of investigation.
【M5】
选项
