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.
Frederick II’s experiment was violent because______.
选项
A、he wanted to prove children are horn with the ability to speak
B、he ignored the importance of mothering to the infant
C、he was unkind to the nurse
D、he wanted his nurses to say no mother tongue
答案
B
解析
本题属于事实细节题,提问的是为什么说弗雷德里克二世的实验非常残忍。文章一开始就提及了弗雷德里克二世的实验,他想知道婴儿在听不到母语的情况下会说什么语言,因此要求护士们保持沉默,结果婴儿们在一岁之前就全部死亡了。第一段说明了实验的残忍,而原因在第二段进行了说明,根据“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”,实验之所以残忍,不仅是剥夺了婴儿们听到母语的权力,更重要的是他们失去了母亲的呵护,因而生存的能力受到影响。故选项B)为正确答案。
