"You understand grandmother when she talks to you, don’t you,
darling?" The girl nods. Johnson met her—and her Danish mother and
English father—at the airport. The parents were eager to discuss their
experience of fostering up their daughter bilingually in London. It isn’t 【S1】______
easy: the husband does not speak Danish, because the child hears the 【S2】______
language only from her mother, who has come to accept that she will reply
in English.
This can be painful. Not sharing your first language with loved ones
is hard. Not passing it on your own child can be especially tough. Many 【S3】______
immigrant parents feel a sense of failure: they share stories on parenting
forums and social media, hope to find the secret to nurturing bilingual 【S4】______
children successfully.
Children are linguistic sponges, but this doesn’t mean that cursory
exposure is enough. They must hear a language quite a bit to understand
it—and used it often to be able to speak it comfortably. This is mental 【S5】______
work, and a child who doesn’t have a motive to say a language—either a 【S6】______
need or a strong desire—will often avoid it. Children’s brains are already
busy enough.
So languages often wither and die when parents move abroad.
Consider America. Typically, first generation born in America is 【S7】______
bilingual, and the second is monolingual—in English, the children often
struggling to speak easily with their immigrant grandparents.
In the past, governments discouraged immigrant families off keeping 【S8】______
their languages. Teddy Roosevelt worried that America would become a
" polyglot boarding-house". These days, officials tend to be more 【S9】______
interventionist: some even see a valuable resource in immigrants’ language
abilities. Yet many factors conspire to ensure that children still lose their
parents’ languages, or never learn it. 【S10】______ [br] 【S6】
选项
答案
say一speak
解析
动词误用。本句意为“这是一种脑力劳动,一个缺乏说外语动机的孩子——无论是出于需要还是强烈的愿望——往往会避免说外语。”speak和say都有“说,讲”的含义,但强调的内容不同。speak用作及物动词时,后面的宾语一般是某种语言,强调说话的方式,而say后面的宾语是说话的内容,强调说话的具体内容。此处指的是“说某种语言”,故用动词speak。
