There are between 3000 and 6000 public languages in the world, and we must add approximately 6 billion private languages since each one of us necessarily has one. Considering these facts, the possibilities for breakdowns in communication seem infinite in number. However, we do communicate successfully from time to time. And we do learn to speak languages. But learning to speak languages seems to be a very mysterious process. For a long time, people thought that we learned a language only by imitation and association. For example, a baby touches a hot pot and starts to cry. The mother says, "Hot, hot!" And the baby, when it stops crying, imitates the mother and says, "Hot, hot!" However, Noam Chomsky, a famous expert in language, pointed out that although children do learn some words by imitation and association, they also combine words to make meaningful sentences in ways that are unique, unlearned and creative. Because young children can make sentences they have never heard before, Chomsky suggested that human infants are born with the ability to learn language. Chomsky meant that underneath all the differences between public and private languages, there is a universal language mechanism that makes it possible for us, as infants, to learn any language in the world. This theory explains the potential that human infants have for learning language. But it docs not really explain how children come to use language in particular ways.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
23. Why does the speaker say there are great possibilities for communication breakdowns?
24. What is Chomsky’s point on the ability to learn a language?
25. What does Chomsky’s theory fail to explain according to the speaker?
选项

C、How people create their languages.
D、How children learn to use language.
答案
D
解析
细节题。文章最后提到该理论没有解释孩子具体如何知道使用语言,可知D项正确。
