It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can't be said to show the baby's intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This selfimitation(模仿)leads on to deliberate(有意的)imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.‎ It is a problem we need to get our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world.Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new 8‎ ‎ sounds.‎ ‎36．Before children start speaking________.‎ A．they need equal amount of listening B．they need different amounts of listening C．they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions D．they can't understand and obey the adult's oral instructions 答案　B　[根据第一段“Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking”，可直接得到答案；C选项错在all。]‎ ‎37．Children who start speaking late________.‎ A．may have problems with their listening B．probably do not hear enough language spoken around them C．usually pay close attention to what they hear ‎ D．often take a long time in learning to listen properly 答案　D　[根据第一段“Language learning begins with listening.”，“later starters are often long listeners”，可知晚说话的孩子晚在花很长时间在听上，听也就是接受说前的指导。]‎ ‎38．A baby's first noises are________.‎ A．an expression of his moods and feelings B．an early form of language C．a sign that he means to tell you something D．an imitation of the speech of adults 答案　A　[根据第二段“during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on.”可知，孩子的“first noises”只是情感的表露，不能被看成是最初的语言形式，也还远没到模仿大人语言的阶段。]‎ ‎39．The problem of deciding at what point a baby's imitations can be considered as speech________.‎ A．is important because words have different meanings for different people B．is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually C．is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age D．is one that should be completely ignored(忽略)because children's use of words is often meaningless ‎ 答案　B　[从最后一段，尤其是最后一句话可知，作者对大人利用孩子的模仿能力教给他们新的语言是否会有成效持怀疑态度。但也不能“be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply”。]‎ ‎40．The speaker implies________.‎ 8‎ A．parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds B．children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak C．children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly D．even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating 答案　D　[由最后一段“Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself，”可知。A太绝对；B与文中叙述不符；C文中没有依据。]‎ 写作素材集锦 单词 imaginative想象的 短语 have a look at看一看 句子 Most parents，I suppose，have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children.‎ 我想大部分的父母都曾有过给孩子读睡前故事的经历 。 ‎ 8‎
