问题 It could be argued that human beings are a species of animal. However, the
unique characteristics, which makes mankind different from all other species, is our【S1】______
ability to use sophisticated language.
Language is considered multi-sensory, consisted of not only the verbal and【S2】______
writing, but also touch, smell, sound, body, and gestural elements. As human
beings are social animals, people have the instinct to communicate with others, to
share our feelings and thoughts, and in a result, language development in each【S3】______
individual becomes an instinct. Since language is the tool used as communication,【S4】______
Wittgenstein says, "The limits of my language are the limits of my world. "
He implies that people speak just one language and thus live in only one world,
and if you are not capable of using a language, your world is narrowed. However,【S5】______
Einstein has an opposite opinion, he values the importance of language and says,【S6】______
" The words of a language such as they are written and spoken do not seem to play【S7】______
any role in the mechanism of my thought. " His statement indicates that a scientist’s
mind might work in numbers or equations, other than the language which most
people use. In Einstein’s quote, he says that the language of speech and writing don’t【S8】______
influence his thought, because the mechanism of his thought is extraordinary. As a
widely recognized great scientist, his point might be that people should think
anything beyond what is already written, and also, " the sum of human wisdom is not【S9】______
contained any one language, and no single language is capable of expressing all【S10】______
forms and degrees of human comprehension. "
【S6】

选项

答案values一devalues

解析动词错误。根据上下文以及前半句“爱因斯坦持相反的看法……”可知，该处指的是他“贬低”了语言的重要性，而非“重视”，故将values改为devalues。
