问题     Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is an expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this. Some are obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages much better than they do in their own languages is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce them, and consequently never set about speaking them in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught, the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lessons to this, and his whole attitude to the subject should make the students feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving their close attention.
Which of the following statements is TRUE?

选项 A、A good accent can be acquired by nature.
B、Language speaking is not so difficult as grammar.
C、Pronouncing a foreign language is a skill.
D、One can learn pronunciation without instructions.

答案C

解析 事实细节题。由文章第六句“Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill…”可知,C项正确。
