When do children start to talk If you ask a group of parents when this happened, most will say“around twelve months of age”. They will probably even remember what the children said. Many parents keep a diary of their child' s “first words”.
We can never predict what a first word is going to be. Often it' s the name for“mummy” or “daddy”, but it could just as easily be the word for an animal or a favourite toy. Everything depends on what has most caught the child' s attention. But one thing is certain: After the first word, others come quickly. By 18 months, most children have learned about 50 words. By 2 years old, the total has risen to around 200.
Early words are actually one-word sentences. One of the first features(特征)of language a child learns well is to control the rise and fall of the voice to make the difference between stating and questioning. In English, “daddy” with a high rising tone(声调)means “Is that daddy ” “Daddy” with a high falling tone means “That' s daddy.” Of course, only very basic meanings can be communicated using tones alone. So it soon becomes necessary to learn some grammar.
In English, grammar means learning to put words in different orders. Children have to see that “mummy push” is different from “push mummy”. They start practising such changes at around 18 months. By 2 years old, they have learned the basic patterns of word order, and we hear them saying such things as “man kick ball” and “where daddy go”.
What are the parents doing all this time They' re acting as teachers and they always have an active role to play in their child' s language learning.
( )21. How old are most children when they have learned about 50 words
A. About 6 months old.
B. About one year old.
C. About 18 months old.
D. About two years old.
C
( )22. How do many parents record(记录)their child' s “first words”
A. By keeping a diary.
B. By taking a video.
C. By asking family members.
D. By looking up in a book.
A
( )23. What' s Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Word order.
B. Word tones.
C. The first words.
D. Correcting words.
A
( )24. Who plays an important part in a child' s early language learning
A. Teachers. B. Parents.
C. Friends. D. Grandparents.
B
( )25. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. After the little kid begins to speak out the first word, others come quickly.
B. By the age of two, the total words that a kid has learned have risen to around 200.
C. Controlling the rise and fall of the voice is one of the first features of language a child learns well.
