Is language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical
period of life can be starved and damaged? Judging from the drastic experiment of
Frederick II in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a
child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.
All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of
language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in
the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.
Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless,
some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the
mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn
language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring
skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and
銆� 6
to fly rapidly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage
has passed.
Experts suggest that speech stages 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 out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes
vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand
simple commands; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At
three he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his
language differs from that of his parents in style rather than grammar.
Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What
is special about man’s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex
system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a toy-bear with the
sound pattern “toy-bear.” And even more incredible is the young brain’s ability to pick
out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him, to analyze, to
combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.
But speech has to be induced, and this depends on interaction between the
mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling
(鍜垮憖瀛歌獮), grasping and smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother
to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out
only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child’s non-verbal signals is essential to the
growth and development of language.
31. The purpose of Frederick II’s experiment was ________.
[A] to prove that children are born with the ability to speak
[B] to discover what language a child would speak without hearing any human
speech
[C] to find out what role careful nursing would play in teaching a child to speak
[D] to prove that a child could be damaged without learning a language
32. The reason some children are backward in speaking is most probably that
________.
[A] they are incapable of learning language rapidly
[B] they are exposed to too much language at once
[C] their mothers respond inadequately to their attempts to speak
[D] their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them
33. What is exceptionally remarkable about a child is that ________.
[A] he is born with the capacity to speak
[B] he has a brain more complex than an animal’s
[C] he can produce his own sentences
[D] he owes his speech ability to good nursing
34. Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?
[A] The faculty of speech is inborn in man.
[B] Encouragement is anything but essential to a child in language learning.
[C] The child’s brain is highly selective.
[D] Most children learn their language in definite stages.

Text 2
In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a
bureaucratic (瀹樺儦涓荤京鐨�) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled
cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-ventilated factories
and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this
oiling does not alter the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not
wholeheartedly participate in his work and that he is bored with it. In fact, the blueand
the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of
automated machines and bureaucratic management.
The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find
themselves out of a job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any
real satisfaction or interest in life. They live and die without ever having confronted
the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually
independent and productive human beings.
Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less
empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects.
They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter
of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job,
they are tested for intelligence as well as for the tight mixture of submissiveness and
independence. From that moment on they are tested again and again -- by the
psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge
their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that
one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and
stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting that we should return to the preindustrial mode of production or
to nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never
solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming
our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal
production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in
which man and full development of his potentialities -- those of love and of reason --
are the aims of all social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve
only as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.
36. By “a well-oiled cog in the machinery” the author intends to render the idea that
man is ________.
[A] a necessary part of the society though each individual’s function is negligible
[B] working in complete harmony with the rest of the society
[C] an unimportant part in comparison with the rest of the society, though
functioning smoothly
[D] a humble component of the society, especially when working smoothly
37. The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that ________.
