   Is language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be starved and damaged? Judging from the drastic experiment of Frederick II in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep 【C1】______.
   All the infants died before the first years. But clearly there was more than lack of language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the 【C2】______ to survive is seriously affected.
   Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick. Some children are 【C3】______ still backward in speaking. Most often the 【C4】______ for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is 【C5】______ to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for 【C6】______ skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once the【C7】______stage has passed.
   Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a 【C8】______ age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like 【C9】______; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he has a 【C10】______ of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than grammar.
【C5】
选项
答案I
解析 空格前的is提示空格处可填入形容词或名词作表语，也可以填入动词分词，构成进行时或被动语态。下文提到，忽略某些敏感阶段后，孩子要学会技能就没那么容易了，即学习某些技能有特定的关键时期。语言学习也有关键期，programmed“编制程序”可表达按特定的程序或步骤进行的意义，与下文呼应，故I正确。tune可用于be tuned to sth．“调整以适应某物”，后接名词，与文中提到的学习的敏感期是固定的不相符，可排除。
