问题     Many animal and even plant species communicate with each
other. Humans are not unique in this capability. Therefore, human【S1】______
language is unique in being a symbol communication system that is【S2】______
learned instead of biologically inherited.
    A word is one and more sounds that in combination with a
special meaning assigned by a language. The symbolic meaning of【S3】______
words can be so powerful that people are willing to risk their lives
for them or take the lives of others.
    A major advantage of human language is being a learned【S4】______
symbolic communication system is that it is infinitely flexible.
Meanings can be changed and new symbols create. This is【S5】______
evidenced by the fact which new words are invented daily and the【S6】______
meaning of old ones changes. Languages evolve in response to
change historical and social conditions. Some language【S7】______
transformations typically occur in a generation or more. For
instance, the slang words used by your parents were very different
from it that you use today. You also probably are familiar with many【S8】______
technical terms, such as " text messaging" and " high definition
TV" , which were not in general use even a decade ago.
    Language and speech are not the same thing. Speech is a
broad term simply referred to patterned verbal behavior. In contrast,【S9】______
a language is a set of rules for generating speech. A dialect is a
variant of a language. If associated with a geographically isolated
speech community, it is referred to a regional dialect. However, if【S10】______
it is spoken by a speech community that is merely socially isolated,
it is called a social dialect which is mostly based on class, gender,
age, and particular social situations.
【S9】
选项
答案referred—referring
解析 非谓语动词误用。此处term与refer to之间是主谓关系，因此应该使用现在分词referring而非过去分词referred。句意为“言语是一个很宽泛的术语，指的是模式化的口头表达行为。”
