题型有: 3. LANGUAGE USAGE

PART III LANGUAGE USAGE

It is of course true that in a certain sense the individual is predestined to talk,

but that is due entirely to the circumstance, that is, he is born not merely in nature, but

in the lap of a societythat is certain, reasonably certain, to lead him to their traditions.【S1】______Eliminate society and it is every reason to believe that he will【S2】______learn to walk, and, indeed, he will survive at all. But it is justas certain as that

he will never learn to talk, that is, to【S3】______communicate ideas according to the

tradition system of a【S4】______particular society. Or, again, remove the newborn

individual from the social environment into which he has come and transplant him to

an utterly alien one. He will develop the art ofwalking in his new environment very

much as he will have【S5】______developed it in the old. But his speech will

completely at variance【S6】______with the speech of his native environment.

Walking, then, is a general human activity that varies only within circumscribed

limitsas we pass from individual to individual. Its variability is voluntary【S7】______and purposeless. Speech is a human activity that varies without assignable

limit as we pass from social group to social group,because it is a pure historical

heritage of the group, the product of【S8】______long-continued social usage. It varies

as all creative effort varies— not as consciously, perhaps, but none the less as truly as

do thereligions, the beliefs, the customs, and the arts of different people.【S9】______Walking is an organic, an instinctive function(not, of course,itself an instinct);

speech is a non-instinctive, acquiring,【S10】______”cultural” function.
