    Why is the Native Language Learnt So Well
    How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well? When we compare them with adults learning a foreign language, we often find this interesting fact. A little child without knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language. A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers, in most case, may end up with a faulty and inexact command. What accounts for this difference?
    Despite other explanations, the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself, partly in the behavior of the people around him. In the first place, the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all, namely, the first years of life. A child hears it spoken from morning till night and, what is more important, always in its genuine form, with the right pronunciation, right intonation, right use of words and right structure. He drinks in all the words and expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-bubbling spring. There is no resistance: there is perfect assimilation.
    Then the child has, as it were, private lessons all the year round, while an adult language-student has each week a limited number of hours, which he generally shares with others. The child has another advantage: he hears the language in all possible situations, always accompanied by the right kind of gestures and facial expressions. Here there is nothing unnatural, such as is often found in language lessons in schools, when one talks about ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January. And what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him. Again and again, when his attempts at speech are successful, his desires are understood and fulfilled.
    Finally, though a child's " teachers " may not have been trained in language teaching, their relations with him are always close and personal. They take great pains to make their lessons easy.

    參考答案:
    1. A。問題句說“與學(xué)習(xí)外語的成年人相比,兒童學(xué)習(xí)母語很容易?!?。該問題是明顯考察對事實的判斷。利用答案線索詞:adult和 children。于是我們很快在第1段的段首句中發(fā)現(xiàn)children, 而在隨后的一句中發(fā)現(xiàn)adult。研究這兩段的語義:前一句說“為什么孩子學(xué)習(xí)他們的母語學(xué)得這么好?”,后一句接著說“當(dāng)我們把孩子和學(xué)習(xí)外語的成年人比較時,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)了這個有趣的事實?!保罁?jù)這兩句判斷該問題句實際上是對原文中這兩個句子的總結(jié)說明。有時有的問題是考察考生的語言總結(jié)能力。
    2. C。問題句說“成年人的知識和智力阻礙了他們對外語的掌握。”。該問題是也是明顯考察對事實的判斷。利用答案線索詞:mental powers。于是我們很快在第1段的第3句中發(fā)現(xiàn)mental powers,發(fā)現(xiàn)該句說“智力充分發(fā)展的成年人,在大多數(shù)的情況下,對外語的掌握是錯誤的和不準(zhǔn)確的。”。而該句的下一句引出的是成年人和兒童在學(xué)習(xí)語言方面不同的理由(第2段的段首句),但原文中并沒提到“成年人掌握外語的能力較差的原因”,所以判斷該問題句“沒提到”。
    3. B。問題句說“兒童母語學(xué)得好的原因只是因為他們的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境。”。該問題是也是明顯考察對事實的判斷。但很容易察覺該問題句的說法太絕對,所以判斷答案為“錯誤”。其實這道題的答案相關(guān)句我們在前一到題中已經(jīng)涉及到了。文章第2段的段首句給出了由兩個partly引出的兩個理由,不是“的一個理由”,所以判斷問題句“錯誤”。
    4. A。問題句說“早年大量的聽力練習(xí)是兒童成功地學(xué)習(xí)母語的一個原因?!薄@么鸢妇€索詞:the first years of life。于是我們很快在第2段的第2句中發(fā)現(xiàn)相關(guān)句。該句說“早年學(xué)習(xí)母語的時間是有益的?!?。接下來的一句突出的說明了兒童期聽力練習(xí)的形式。所以判斷該問題句的說法“正確”。
    5. B。問題句說“兒童學(xué)習(xí)母語的優(yōu)勢是可以常年上私人輔導(dǎo)課?!?。借助常識判斷該句的說法不正確。利用答案線索詞:all the year round。于是我們很快在第3段的第1句中發(fā)現(xiàn)直接相關(guān)句。比較原句和問題句的結(jié)構(gòu),發(fā)現(xiàn)不同之處在于“as it were”的結(jié)構(gòu)。當(dāng)心:部分結(jié)構(gòu)的差異往往是設(shè)置了陷阱。 實際上,as it were的含義是“仿佛是”。所以原文說“仿佛是”,而問題句說“是”,所以判斷問題句“不正確”。
    6. A。問題句說“手勢和面部表情可能會對兒童掌握母語有幫助?!?。利用答案線索詞:Gestures and facial expressions。于是我們很快在第3段的第2句中發(fā)現(xiàn)直接相關(guān)句。該句說“兒童學(xué)習(xí)母語的另一個優(yōu)勢是可以接觸各種情景的母語,而且母語中還伴隨了正確的手勢和面部表情?!?。可見原句的說法與問題句一致,所以判斷問題句“正確”。
    7. C。問題句說“就語言教學(xué)而言,教師與學(xué)生的親密關(guān)系比學(xué)生接受的專門培訓(xùn)更重要?!?。利用答案線索詞:teachers。文章的后一段提到了“教師”,但只是說“教師與學(xué)生的關(guān)系是親密的”,而問題句的說法并不與原文矛盾,所以判斷該問題句“沒提到”。
