At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at
38、 four he knows his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than grammar.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity of speaking. What is special about mans brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sigh
39、t and feel of, say, a toy-bear with the sound pattern “toy-bear“. And even more incredible is the young brains ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him, to analyze, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.But speech has to be induced, and thi
40、s depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the childs babbling, grasping and 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
41、signals. Sensitivity to the childs non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development of language.85 The purpose of the Frederick s experiment was _.（A）to prove that children are born with the ability to speak（B） to discover what language a child would speak without hearing any human spee
42、ch（C） to find out what role careful nursing would play in teaching a child to speak（D）to prove that a child would be damaged without learning a language86 The reason some children are backward in speaking is most probably that _.（A）they are incapable of learning language rapidly（B） they are exposed
43、to too much language at once（C） their mothers respond inadequately to their attempts to speak（D）their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them87 What is exceptionally remarkable about a child is that _.（A）he is born with the capacity to speak（B） he has a brain more complex than an animals（C）
44、he can produce his own sentences（D）he owes his speech ability to good nursing88 Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?（A）The faculty of speech is inborn in man.（B） Encouragement is anything but essential to a child in language learning.（C） The childs brain is highly selective.（
45、D）Most children learn their language in definite stages.89 If a child starts to speak later than others, he will _ in the future.（A）have a high IQ（B） be less intelligent（C） be insensitive to verbal signals（D）not necessarily be backward89 Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were
46、still cursing the disputed refereeing decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The researcher organized an experimental tournament involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minu
47、tes during which different referees were in charge.Observers noted down the referees errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse t
48、he matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum dis
49、tance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA, footballs international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the
