何凱文每日一句：2017考研英語第179句

　　今天的題目：

　　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 to fly rapidly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed.

　　1. 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

　　題目的解析：

　　1. Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick.

　　參考譯文：今天不存在像Frederick所要求的那種(照顧)的嚴(yán)重缺失。

　　2.Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking.

　　參考譯文：但是有些孩子在說話方面依然落后。

　　3.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.

　　參考譯文：原因常常就是，嬰兒的大腦本來學(xué)語言很快，但母親對(duì)于嬰兒發(fā)出的信號(hào)并不敏感。(這個(gè)調(diào)序是不是很機(jī)智!)

　　4.If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again.

　　參考譯文：如果這些敏感期被忽略了，那么獲得(語言)技能的理想時(shí)期就錯(cuò)過了，這些(孩子)可能就再也不能容易地學(xué)習(xí)這些技能了。

　　5. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed.

　　參考譯文：小鳥在恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)間能很快地學(xué)會(huì)唱歌和飛行，但是一旦這個(gè)關(guān)鍵時(shí)期錯(cuò)過了這個(gè)過程就會(huì)變得非常緩慢。

　　The reason some children are backward in speaking is most probably that ________.

　　一些孩子在說話方面比較慢，比較有可能的原因是什么?

　　精確定位到第三句：3.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.

　　參考譯文：原因常常就是，嬰兒的大腦本來學(xué)語言很快，但母親對(duì)于嬰兒發(fā)出的信號(hào)并不敏感。(這個(gè)調(diào)序是不是很機(jī)智!)

　　尤其是：the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant

　　= their mothers respond inadequately to their attempts to speak

　　他們的母親對(duì)于他們說話的嘗試沒有做出充分的回應(yīng)

　　完美的替換!所以正確答案是B!

　　A和B的主語一看就知道不對(duì)!

　　D選項(xiàng)的主語對(duì)了，但是和母親的智力沒有關(guān)系!就是看母親是不是敏感，也就是有沒有做出充分的回應(yīng)!

　　[A] they are incapable of learning language rapidly

　　他們不能很快的學(xué)習(xí)語言。

　　[B] they are exposed to too much language at once

　　他們同時(shí)面對(duì)太多的語言

　　Be exposed to = be confronted with 面對(duì) (絕對(duì)必考短語!)

　　[C] their mothers respond inadequately to their attempts to speak

　　他們的母親對(duì)于他們說話的嘗試沒有做出充分的回應(yīng)

　　[D] their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them

　　他們的母親不夠聰明沒法幫他們。
