11、t by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 20 Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary 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
12、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 trace the development from
13、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 canno
14、t be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early form 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 store. This self-imitation leads on to del
15、iberate 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 not get our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by
16、 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 his seven months, of “mama“ as a greeting for his mother can not be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times f
17、or his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and apparently 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 cash in on this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds. 21 C
18、hildren who start speaking late _. （ A） may have problems with their hearing （ B） probably do not hear enough language spoken around them （ C） usually pay close attention to what they hear （ D） often take a long time in learning to listen properly 22 A babys first noises are _. （ A） a reflection of
19、his moods and feelings （ B） an early form of language （ C） a sign that he means to tell you something （ D） an imitation of the speech of adults 23 The problem of deciding at what point a babys imitations can be considered as speech _. （ A） is important because words have different meanings for diffe
20、rent people （ B） is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually （ C） is one that can never be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age （ D） is one that should be completely ignored because childrens use of words is often meaningless 24 It is implied
21、 in the passage that _. （ A） parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds （ B） children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak （ C） children who are good at imitating learn new sounds more quickly （ D） even after they have learnt to speak children still enjoy imitating 25 It
