问题     A man sits alone at a workbench, starting at a piece of equipment with a puzzled frown(皱眉). He says:"So if I put red four there, and link it to blue three, that’ll leave blue six free. Then I can use that for green four. Right. " He begins to work.
    People often feel the need to speak their thoughts aloud. If asked why they do it, they reply that it helps their concentration. Authors often make similar remarks about the need to get a first draft down on paper, in order to see whether what they have written corresponds to(相符合)what they had in mind. The French thinker, Joseph Joubert(1754—1824), once said, "We only know just what we meant to say after we have said it. "
    Perhaps the most common use of language as an instrument of thought is found when people perform mathematical calculations "in their head". Very often, this supposedly "mental" act is accompanied by a verbal commentary(口头评论). However, it is not essential that language used in this way should always be spoken aloud or written down. Often, people can be seen to move their lips while they are thinking, but no actual sound emerges. Language is evidently present, but in a "sub-vocal" form.
    Several theories have been proposed about the role of lauguage as the instrument of thought-notably that of the Russian psychologist, Lev Semenovich Vygotsky(1896— 1934), who argued for a concept of "inner speech", a mental use of words to evoke(唤起)a sequence of thoughts. Do all thoughts, then, require language? This complex question can not be answered easily without consideration of the main factors which give rise to(导致)the complications(复杂性).
What topic will the author mainly discuss in the next paragraph?

选项 A、The role of language in thinking.
B、Vygotsky’s idea.
C、The main factors which make the question difficult to answer.
D、The concept of "inner speech".

答案C

解析 根据上下文的意见,作者可能就提出的问题进行辩解,并可能要谈谈回答这些问题的主要因素。所以答案为C。
