Why is the Native Language Learnt So Well?
How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well? When we compare them with adults learning a foreign language, we often find this interesting fact. A little child without knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language. A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers, in most case, may end up with a faulty and inexact command. What accounts for this difference?
Despite other explanations, the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself, partly in the behavior of the people around him. In the first place, the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all, namely, the first years of life. A child hears it spoken from morning till night and, what is more important, always in its genuine form, with the right pronunciation, right intonation, and right use of words and right structure. He drinks in all the words and expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-bubbling spring. There is no resistance: there is perfect assimilation.
Then the child has, as it were, private lessons all the year round, while an adult language-student has each week a limited number of hours, which he generally shares with others. The child has another advantage; he hears the language in all possible situations, always accompanied by the right kind of gestures and facial expressions. Here there is nothing unnatural, such as is often found in language lessons in schools, when one talks about ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January. And what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him. Again and again, when his attempts at speech are successful, his desires are understood and fulfilled.
Finally, though a child’s "teachers" may not have been trained in language teaching, their relations with him are always close and personal. They take great pains to make their lessons easy.
Compared with adults learning a foreign language, children learn their native language with ease.
选项
A、Right
B、Wrong
C、Not mentioned
答案
A
解析
题干大意:与学习外语的成年人相比,儿童学习母语很容易。该问题明显考查对事实的判断。利用答案线索词adult和children。我们很快在第一段的段首句中发现children,而在随后的一句中发现adult。研究这两段的语义,前一句说:为什么孩子学习他们的母语学得这么好?后一句接着说:当我们把孩子和学习外语的成年人比较时,我们发现了这个有趣的事实。依据这两句,判断该问题句实际上是对原文中这两个句子的总结说明。有时有的问题是考查考生的语言总结能力。
