　Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word“obey”is hardly exact as a description of the eager and delighted co- operation（合作） usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gestures and by making questioning noises.

　　Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It’s agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particular expression like delight, pain, friendliness and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self - imitation（自我模仿）leads out to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.

　　It is a problem we need to get our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will. change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use, at seven months, of“ mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at another time for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself. I doubt, however , whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of his ability in an attempt to teach new words.

　Children who start speaking late ________

　　A. may have problems with their listening

　　B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them

　　C. usually pay close attention to what they hear

　　D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly

　　A baby’s first noises are ________ .

　　A. an expression of his moods and feelings

　　B. an early form of language

　　C. an imitation of the speech of adults

　　D. a sign that he means to tell you something

　　The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitation can be considered as speech ________ .

　　A. is important because words have different meanings for different people

　　B. is not especially important because the change takes place gradually

　　C. is one that should be ignored（忽略）because children’s use of words is often meaningless

　　D. is one that can never be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age

　　The speaker implies that ________ .

　　A. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitation

　　B. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly

　　C. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak

　　D. patents can never hope to teach their children new sounds

　【小题1】D

　【小题2】A

　【小题3】B

　【小题4】A

解析:

　【小题1】关键句：later speakers are often long listeners.学说话越迟，孩子听的时间就越长。

【小题2】第二段说，刚开始几个月发出的一两个声音表明他们的如高兴，痛苦，友好等expression.　　

【小题3】　第三段从婴儿学说“妈妈”为例，说明这种模仿是好玩，没有意义，最后说父母教孩子新读音时，孩子们是否学到什么，对此感到怀疑，可见这并不重要，文中又说what a child means by a word会随年龄而变化，因此选B。

【小题4】　文中第三段说，即使孩子能自己说话了，这种模仿还存在。

根据文章内容，从下框A～F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。

　　Effective reading should adopt(采纳)a correct way, and then you can get more by paying less．Here are some hints(建议)for reading effectively．

　　1．________

　　Don't choose a rather difficult book or a too easy one for yourself to read．A book full of new words will make you feel discouraged quickly．To understand those new words, you have to turn to the dictionary．A too easy one will only waste your time and cannot do any help．The two extremes may at last make you give up reading．So it's better for you to find a proper book with no more than five new words on each page．

　　2．________

　　If you come across a new word, do not look it up in a dictionary at once．Leave it alone and guess the meaning of it based on the content of the test．This ability is quiet necessary in reading．If you know your guess is right later, you will be highly excited at your “success”, and your interest in reading is well encouraged．If a word really prevents you from understanding the whole passage, turn to the dictionary by then．I am sure you can remember this word very well, as it has left you such a deep impression for its “troublesome image”．

　　3．________

　　To comprehend what you are reading, you should think while you are reading, then form your own ideas．Your writing does not need to be quite formal but expressive．This practice can make you communicate with the original English authors．Day by day, your way of thinking in English will turn into a native way, which is quite important for English writing．

　　4．________

　　Language has its own beauty, no matter Chinese or English．Don't merely take English as a “test”．Take it as an “entertainment” instead and you will enjoy it through learning．Maybe you should find some beautiful literary works such as a prose or a poem to read, if you like．Try to read them as loudly and impassionedly(充满激情地)as you can．During this process, not only can you enjoy yourself by the great emotions of the writes, but also your pronunciation and your manner of speaking English will be improved．

　　5．________

　　The last but not the least, keep on reading．If you cannot keep it as a habit, you will suffer from paying without gaining．

Learners report two main difficulties in reading, which may be linked. There are too many unknown words and as a result reading is simply not a pleasure. For some students, even reading in their own language is a chore.
　　Having a wide vocabulary is essential to making sense of written language. Of course, this is a circular argument, because the more you read the more vocabulary you learn and the more words you know the more easily you can read. Don’t make the mistake of reading with your dictionary beside you, looking up every single new or doubtful word. This is laborious and prevents you from practicing the skill of prediction.
　　Sometimes in reading you find a word you know but the sense doesn’t seem to fit in. This is not surprising because words have so many meanings and degrees of meaning. What is more, part of their meaning is shaped by the words around them. Keep looking at the surrounding words and asking yourself “what sort of meaning would make sense here?”
　　The more that people study the reading process, the better they can pass on to language learners a range of advice to choose from. People have learned to read in all kinds of ways. Here is some information that could help you plan to be a better reader in the foreign language you are studying.
　　1）Work out the general meaning first
　　When people read in a new language they often feel they must take a detailed approach, focusing on every word, particularly those they don’t know. They read as if they were using a microscope, looking carefully at each of the small pieces（the individual words）, but not necessarily seeing the whole picture at first. This is called the “bottom-up” approach. Other readers try to look first at the big picture（the “top-down” approach）, attending to individual bricks only as necessary, a process that involves some intelligent guesswork. Generally this second approach is recommended by successful learners.
　　2）Interactive reading
　　Another way of thinking about reading is to describe it as an interactive process, where the text brings something to you and you bring something to the text. Readers bring together all their knowledge of the world with what they see on the page in front of them. That is why, when reading in our own language, we don’t need to read every word. We add meaning which is not actually stated.
　　3）From supported reading to independent reading
　　Language learners start by needing considerable support as they read. Textbooks supply this support in the form of introductions that summaries the contents, glossaries, pictures, explanations of new grammar points. In your reading you need to move gradually from this support to reading more the text itself.
