2020年职称英语理工类A级考试阅读理解练习题(10)
Language learning begins with listening. Children are
greatly different in the amount of listening they do before
they start speaking, and later 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 also ask questions by gesture and by
making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study 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 as particularly expressive as delight, pain,
friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t 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 words to
their store. This self-imitation(模仿)leads on to
deliberate(有意的)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.
It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The
meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means
by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a
child means by a word will change as he gains more experience
of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a
greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless
sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his
father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and
meaningless imitation of what other people say continues
after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt,
however whether anything is gained when parents take
advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds .

takes place gradually
