主题导读
(与本单元话题相关的时新阅读文章，设两个问答题）
【主旨精点】在超级英雄大片《复仇者联盟3: ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )终局之战》中，灭霸可以一个响指消灭整个宇宙。这令人印象深刻，尽管很少有人意识到，但是普通人也拥有一种无限的力量：语言。
In “Avengers: Endgame ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )”, a superhero blockbuster, the Baddy’s Infinity Gauntlet gives him the power to ruin the universe with the snap of a finger(响指). This may sound impressive, but—although few realize it—ordinary people possess an infinite(无限的) power, too: language.
Write a new s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )entence and Google it. The chances are good that it appears nowhere among the billions on the internet. Steven Pinker, a professor of linguistics, makes a conservative estimate of the number of grammatical, 20-word sentences a human might produce is at least a hundred million trillion— far more than the number of grains of sand on Earth. Most can easily be made longer (try adding “She said that…” to the beginning of most sentences). In theory, the only thing preventing this power is the human lifespan: some possible sentences would be too long to say even in three score years and ten.
This awesome talent is the subject of a new book, “Language Unlimited” by David Adger of Queen Mary University, the president of the Linguistics Association of Great Britain. Mr Adger does not just celebrate language’s infinity. He maintains that it is the result of a unique capacity.The book’s first, and strongest, claim is that human language is different from animal communication not just in range ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \l "keyfrom=dict.basic.syno" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 ), but in kind. A highly trained chimp called Kanzi can obey commands such as “Give water [to] Rose”. But Kanzi does it not so well when told to “Give water and lighter to Rose.” Meanwhile, a two-year-old child tested alongside Kanzi quickly realizes that two nouns can make up a noun phrase, as a direct object into a verb phrase, which in turn is part of a sentence. This “recursive”(递归的) structure is key to grammar.
