问题 Children who start speaking late ______.
The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be considered as speech ______.

选项 A、is not especially important because the change takes place gradually
B、is important because words have different meanings for different people
C、is one that can never be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age
D、is one that should be completely ignored because children’s use of words is often meaningless

答案A

解析 文章第三段第一句说我们不需要认真处理这个问题,get one’s teeth into的含义是“专注于做某事,认真处理某事”。第二句说一个单词的意义取决于说话人在特定场合赋予它的意思,而随着孩子经历的增多,他赋予所用单词的含义也会改变,接着文章举例说不能认为婴儿发出的“mama”毫无意义而不加以考虑,因为他会使用它来指代任何他喜欢的其他事物,从修饰语“he likes”可知“mama”还是含有一定的含义的。由此可见,要判断什么时候婴儿的模仿可以被当作“speech”很难,既然界线不清楚,那么也就不很重要了,因此答案选A。
