2017年職稱英語理工類C級補全短文練習(有答案)
Baby Talk
Babies normally start to talk when they are 13 to 15 months old. Ryan Jones is only eight months old, but he is already “talking” with his parents. When he is hungry, he opens and closes his hand. This means milk. He also knows the signs for his favorite toy and the word more. Ryan is not deaf, and his parents are not deaf, but his mother and father are teaching him to sign. They say a word and make a sign at the same time. They repeat this again and again. When ___1___ Ryan’s parents think that he will be a happier baby because he can communicate with them. Ryan s parents are teaching Ryan to sign because of a man named Joseph Garcia. Although Garcia was not from a deaf family, he decided to learn American Sign Language (ASL). First, he took courses in ASL. Then he got a job helping deaf people communicate with hearing people. In his work, he saw many deaf parents sign to their infants. He noticed that these babies were able to communicate much earlier than hearing children. ___2___ When they were one year old, they could use as many as 50 signs. Garcia decided to try something new. He taught ASL to parents who were not deaf. The families started to teach signs to their infants when they were six or seven months old. ___3___ More and more parents took Garcia’s ASL classes. Like Ryan’s family, they were excited about signing with their babies. They wanted to give their babies a way to communicate before they could use spoken words. Some people worry about signing to babies. They are afraid that these babies won’t feel a need to talk. Maybe they will develop spoken language later than other babies. ___4___ In fact, one study found just the opposite. Signing babies actually learned to speak earlier than other children. As they grow older, these children are more interested in books. They also score higher on intelligence tests1. There is still a big question for parents: Which are the best signs to
teach their babies? Some parents make their own signs. Other parents want to teach ASL. ___5___ There’s no clear answer, but we do know this: All signing babies and their families are talking quite a lot!
A However, research does not show this.
B All parents want to teach babies to sign.
C Ryan learns a new sign, his family is very excited.
D These babies started using signs about two months later.
E It can be useful because many people understand it.
F They talked with signs by the time they were eight months old.
答案與題解:
1. C 第二段主要是討論Ryan學習手語的過程,當他學會一種新的手勢時,父母非常高興。
2. F 這一段講的'是嬰兒在學習手語過程中的共同規(guī)律。題目前一句講Garcia注意到學習手語的嬰兒比普通嬰兒更早開始交流,后一句講嬰兒1歲時能使用的手勢多達50種,因此,此處應填“這些嬰兒從8個月起就開始用手語交流”。
3. D 這一段講有些家庭在嬰兒六七個月的時候開始教他們手語。D選項中的these babies指代這些嬰兒,符合題意。
4. A 前文講有些人擔心嬰兒學習手語會導致其會話能力發(fā)展緩慢,后文講的是研究表明并不是這樣,因此空格處應填表示轉折的句子。
5. E E選項是對前文中ASL的解釋,ASL是通用手語,因此能被更多的人理解。選項中的it即指代ASL。
