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.
Which of the following is NOT implied in the passage?
选项
A、Ability to learn to speak a language is inborn in man.
B、Children do not need to be encouraged to learn to speak.
C、Early language starters are not necessarily highly intelligent.
D、Most children learn their language in definite stages.
答案
B
解析
本题属于推理判断题,提问的是根据文章的暗示,我们无法做出下面哪个判断。根据文章最后一段的内容“But speech has to be stimulated,...Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged...Sensitivity to the child’s non—verbal signals is essential to the growth and development of language”,言语是需要刺激的,如果母亲对孩子的努力不做出反应,孩子得不到鼓励,他的语言的发展就会受到影响。选项B)的表述“孩子不需要鼓励就能学会语言”显然与文章内容矛盾,故明显应为本题的答案。另外三个选项的论述和文章内容是一致的。
