问题     To the professional linguist, there is no superiority of any language. Therefore, it is well-accepted in the field of linguistics that there exist no higher or lower grades among languages.
    People once thought of the languages of backward groups as undeveloped forms of speech, consisting largely of rough and simple sounds. It is possible that language in general began as a series of simple sounds. But it is a fact established by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers that description. Most languages of "backward" groups are extremely complex pieces of tool for the transfer of ideas. They "fall behind" the western languages not in their sound pattern or grammatical structures but only in their vocabularies. The sound pattern or grammatical structures usually are fully adequate for all language needs. The vocabulary reflects the objects and activities known to their speakers.
    There are two things to be noted. Firstly, all languages seem to possess ways for vocabulary expansion. Vocabulary expands either by putting together its own words or by borrowing words from other languages. Secondly, the "backward" languages are different from ours. The objects and activities which require distinction are often surprisingly numerous and complicated.
We can learn from the first paragraph that ______.
选项 A、some kind of languages may be better than others
B、we can not say one language is better than others
C、it is difficult to know which language is better than others
D、language contains some grades
答案B
解析 推理判断题。本题询问我们从第一段中可以知道什么。根据文章首句的后半部分可知，不存在一种语言比另一种语言更具有优越性的情况，即我们不能说一种语言比另一种语言更好，故选项B为正确答案。
