When humans 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【C6】______an innate language ability not found in lower【C7】______. Proponents of this innateness theory say that our【C8】______for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually,【C9】______a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical【C10】______times for language development. Current【C11】______of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable.【C12】______, more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in【C13】______grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being【C14】______to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the【C15】______of their first language have become firmly fixed.【C16】______some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum.

Parents gradually shape their child’s language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones. [br] 【C14】
选项 A、revealed
B、exposed
C、engaged
D、involved
答案 B
解析 词汇辨析。本句大意是说小孩学英语主要是通过长期接触浸泡式的方式习得。beexposed to意为“接触到”，符合句法搭配。reveal sth．to sb．意为“向某人揭露”，不合题意，因本题中的them指languages.其余选项不与to搭配，engage in意为“从事”，如：engage in trade(经商)，beinvolved in意为“参与”。
