问题     From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us. When human first【C1】______, they were like newborn children, unable to use this【C2】______tool. Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human kind’s future【C3】______and cultural growth increased.
    Many linguists believe that evolution is【C4】______for our ability to produce and use language. They【C5】______that our highly evolved brain provides us with an【C6】______language ability not found in lower organisms. Supports of this innateness theory say that our【C7】______for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, as a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical【C8】______times for language development.
    Current【C9】______of innateness theory are mixed; however, evidence【C10】______the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable. Indeed, more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in【C11】______grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being【C12】______to them, while adults have a much【C13】______time learning another language once the rules of their first language have become firmly fixed.
    【C14】______some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have been【C15】______from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that 【C16】______with other human beings is necessary for proper language. Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 【C17】______than any innate capacities. These theorist view language【C18】______imitative, learned behavior. 【C19】______children learn language form their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child’s language skills by 【C20】______reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.
【C15】
选项 A、distinguished
B、compared
C、isolated
D、interacted
答案C
解析 前面说语言不能在真空下自动发展，因此，如果孩子与其他人隔离开来，则不能掌握语言。A项意为“区分”；B项意为“比较”；C项意为“隔离”；D项意为“互动”。因此，C选项为正确选项。
