Is language, as food, a basic human need? Judging __1__ from the drastic experiment of Frederick in the 13th century it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard mother __2__ tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.
Today no such drastic deprivation exists as ordered __3__ by Frederick. Furthermore, some children are still __4__ backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the cues and signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to mop up language rapidly. There are critical times, it seems, when children learn more readily. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes away and they might never be __5__ learned so easily again.
Linguists suggest that speech milestones are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age. But there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns up to be of high IQ. Recent __6__ evidence suggests that an infant is born of the __7__ capacity to speak. But speech has to be triggered,and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child,where the mother realizes the cues and __8__ signals in the child's babbling, grasping, crying,smiling, and responds to it. Insensitivity of the __9__ mother to these signals dulls the interation because the child gets discouraged and sends out only obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child's verbal cues is __10__ essential to the growth and development of language.
【答案】
1.as——like. 作為介詞，as是“作為”的意思；like是“像……一樣”的意思。as用在此處顯然句意不通。
2.^mother——no.根據(jù)下文提到的he told the nurses to keep silent 可以判斷出，此處應(yīng)該為if he heard no mother tongue，即：如果聽不到母語，孩子會(huì)講什么語言?？荚嚧?BR> 3.as^——that.句中的as是一個(gè)介詞，后面缺少賓語，后面添加的that替代the deprivation，而ordered by Frederick 是一個(gè)過去分詞短語，做定語修飾that.
4……Furthermore——Neverthless/However.Furthermore表示的是遞進(jìn)關(guān)系，而這一句話與前一句話明顯構(gòu)成的是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系?？荚嚧?BR> 5.away——?jiǎng)釉~pass是指“經(jīng)過，通過，流逝”，而pass away是指“去世，死亡”，用在此處不和文意?？荚嚧?BR> 6.up——out.短語turn up的意思是“出現(xiàn)，找到”，而turn out 的意思是“結(jié)果證明是……”，這句話的意思是說：有些情況是說話比較遲的孩子，最終卻被證明智商很高。
7.of——with.be born with……意思是“與生俱來的……”是一固定短語搭配。
8.realizes——recognizes.realize意思是“認(rèn)識(shí)到，了解”，recognize的意思是“識(shí)別，認(rèn)可”，可見recognize符合文章意思：語言需要激發(fā)，而這取決于母親和孩子之間的互動(dòng)，在互動(dòng)當(dāng)中，母親識(shí)別孩子的牙牙學(xué)語聲和笑聲哭聲中的暗示和信號。
9.it——them.此處指代的詞是cues and signals，所以，代詞應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù)形式them.
10.verbal——nonverbal.根據(jù)上文判斷，babbling，prasping，crying，smiling均為非言語信號，所以是nonverbal.
