We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives. This sense of wonde
15、r is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy(幻想) literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe
16、. But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us? Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities,
17、often lead rather isolated lives.

The world of make-b
19、elieve is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路) for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something.

39、 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
40、 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 i
41、s 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 cant be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of
42、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 ar
43、ises 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. 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 m
44、ore 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 con

Before children start speaking_.A. they need equal amount of listening B. they need different amounts of listeningC. the

Children who start speaking late _.A. may have problems with their listeningB. probably do not hear enough language spoken around themC. usually pay close attent
47、ion to what they hearD. often take a long time in learning to listen properly3. A babys first noises are _.A. an expression of his moods and feelings B. an early form of languageC. a sign that he means to tell you something D. an imitation of the speech of adults4. The problem of deciding at what po
48、int a babys imitations can be considered as speech_.A. is important because words have different meanings for different peopleB. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with ageC. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually D. is on
49、e that should be completely ignored because childrens use of words is often meaningless 5. The author implies_.A. parents can never hope to teach their children new soundsB. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating C. children no longer imitate people after they begin to
50、speakD. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly(A)本文讲语言学习从听开始，听得越多，讲得越好。婴孩儿起初的声音不算语言，而是一种情感的表达。但从何时开始算语言并不重要，因为这个转变是个渐变过程。 孩子即使开始讲话，他们始终还是喜欢模仿。B 细节题。由文章开头第二句可知。D 细节题。由文章第二句中and later starters are often long listeners可知，开始讲话越晚，学听的时间就越长。A 细节题。由第六句可知，作者认为这些noises不属于语言，是孩子情感的表达形式。C 细节题。根据文章It is a problem we need to get out可知，作者认为难以界定，没有特殊界线，属于自然过渡，是渐变过程。B 推测判断题。由最后一句的前半句可以推断出，孩子始终喜欢模仿。版权所有：高考资源网()版权所有：高考资源网()
