    There are between 3 , 000 and 6, 000 public languages in the world, and we must add【C1】______(approximate)6 billion private languages since each one of us necessarily has one. Considering these facts, the【C2】______(possible)for breakdowns in communication seem【C3】______(finite)in number.
    However, we do communicate【C4】______(success)from time to time. And we do learn to speak languages. But learning to speak languages seems to be a very【C5】______(mystery)process. For a long time, people thought that we learned a language only by【C6】______(imitate)and association. For example, a baby touches a hot pot and starts to cry. The mother says, "Hot, hot!" And the baby, when it stops crying, imitates the mother and says, " Hot, hot\ " However, Noam Chomsky, a famous expert in language, pointed out that children also combine words to make【C7】______(meaning)sentences in ways that are unique,【C8】______(learn)and【C9】______(create). Because young children can make sentences they have never heard before, Chomsky suggested that human infants are born with the ability to learn language. Chomsky meant that underneath all the differences between public and private languages, there is a【C10】______(universe)language mechanism that makes it possible for us, as infants, to learn any language in the world. This theory explains the potential that human infants have for learning language. But it does not really explain how children come to use language in particular ways.
【C8】
选项
答案unlearned
解析 分析句法可以看出，本句空白处的语法逻辑实际上在he动词are后面，即需要形容词来补充完整。另外，根据语境“Because young children can make sentences they havenever heard before”和提示词动词learn，得出空白处应是“未曾学习过的”更符合语境。因此，把提示词learn加上后缀一ed改为learned(学习过的)，再加上否定前缀一un改为unlearned(未曾学习过的)即可。
