问题    It is, everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to speak, and the fact that he does so in so short a period of time challenges explanation.
   Language learning begins with listening. Individual chirden very greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will "obey" spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
   Any attempt to trace the development from. the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress, sociability, and so on. But since these cannot 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 sounds to their repertoire(能发出的全部声音). This self-imitation leads on to deliberate (有意识的)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.
The best title for this passage would be______.

选项 A、How Babies Learn to Speak
B、Early Forms of Language
C、A Huge Task for Children
D、Noise Making and Language Learning

答案A

解析 我们知道方题思想应该恰如其分地概括文中所阐述的内容,面不能太窄,即:不是概括全部内容;但面也不能人宽,即:包含了文中没有阐述的内容。根据这一原则,只有选择项 [A]恰当地概括了文章所阐述的内容。选择项[B]Early Forms of Language 显然范围过大,文章主要是谈及婴儿的早期语言。选择项[D] Noise Making and Language Learning范围又太小,Noise Making 只是婴儿早期语言形式的一个方面。[C]不符合题意,均应排除。
