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).
Which of the following can best explain the idea of French thinker Joseph Joubert(quoted in paragraph 2)?

选项 A、We do not know what we mean when we are talking.
B、We can not understand ourselves before we speak out.
C、We have a clearer idea of what we meant only after we have spoken it out.
D、We always know ourselves through talking to somebody.

答案C

解析 Joseph Joubert说:我们只有在讲出来之后才知道我们本来要说的内容。
