Is language, like food, a basic human need? Judging from the result of the violent experiment by a German King, Frederick II, in the 13th century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.
All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than language deprivation here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.
Today no much violent deprivation exists as that by Frederick II. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to map up language rapidly. There are critical times, it seems, when children learn more readily. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring language skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again.
Linguists(语言学家)suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ.
Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about Man’s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a teddy-bear(玩具熊)with the sound pattern "teddy-bear".
But speech has to be stimulated, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling(牙牙学语), grasping, crying, smiling, and responds to them . Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals.
Sensitivity to the child’s non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development of language. [br] If the mother does not respond to her child’s signals, ______.
选项
A、the child will never be able to speak properly
B、the child will stop giving out signals
C、the child will invent a language of his own
D、the child will make little effort to speak
答案
D
解析
本题属于事实细节题,提问的是如果母亲对孩子的语言尝试不做出反应会发生什么。根据文章最后一段第二句话“Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals”,如果母亲对孩子的语言尝试不做出反应,母亲与孩子之间的交流就会变得迟钝,孩子也就只会发出一些最简单、最明显的表示,不会再去努力尝试语言表达。显然这与选项D)表述一致,故应为正确答案。
