Question

【題目】 A mother in Northern Ireland was surprised when her son managed to greet her with a tiny "hello" at just 7 weeks old. Toni McCann said her son Cillian, now 9 weeks, has said "hello" twice. The infant（嬰兒） appeared to try and unsuccessfully imitate his mother before finally managing a quick "hello" for the first time.

"He was making a lot of eye contact and that's why I started filming him, "she said. " I realized he was trying to copy what I was saying and then it just came out. "McCann said she first noticed Cillian trying to mimic（模仿）sounds at just 5 weeks old when her husband was holding him.

"This is a perfect example of modeling behaviour, Mum is coaching him to do what she's doing, "said Murray. " It's an important example of what we want all mothers to do with their baby. "

Murray said Cillian's first word is likely not the same as a l to 2-year-old's first word, where they have attached the word to some meaning.

"They don't have muscle coordination（協調, 配合）of the mouth, "Murray said of newborn infants. "It's usually a process of both learning what words mean by hearing them and by seeing mum and by trying to imitate mum over and over again. "

Murray said new mums should talk to their babies, even if the infants can't say full words yet. She also recommended letting babies "talk back" in the conversation, even if they don't have full words yet. While the video of Cillian saying hello has gone popular, McCann said she has already moved on to a new phrase for the baby. "Now I'm saying to him' I love you'. " she added.

【2】C

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。出生僅僅七周的嬰兒就會說“你好”，孩子的母親是怎么做到的？文章講述了作為孩子的母親在教育孩子的語言方面得出的成功經驗。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段第一句"He was making a lot of eye contact and that's why I started filming him, "she said.（她說:“他有很多眼神交流，這就是我開始拍攝他的原因�！保┛芍�，Toni McCann開始拍攝嬰兒是因為嬰兒看著母親的眼睛。故答案為A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據第三段"This is a perfect example of modeling behaviour, Mum is coaching him to do what she's doing, "said Murray. " It's an important example of what we want all mothers to do with their baby. "（Murray說:“這是一個完美的示范行為，媽媽正在指導他做她正在做的事情�！薄斑@是一個重要的例子，我們希望所有的母親都能這樣對待她們的孩子。”）可知，家長的示范行為對孩子的語言發(fā)展來說是重要的。故答案為C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據第四段Murray said Cillian's first word is likely not the same as a l to 2-year-old's first word, where they have attached the word to some meaning.（Murray說，Cillian的第一個詞可能和l到2歲孩子的第一個詞不一樣，l到2歲的孩子把這個詞賦予了某種意義。）可知，Cillian對自己說的內容根本不了解，因此Cillian說話和一兩歲孩子說話的區(qū)別就是他自己不懂那些話。故答案為A。

【4】推理判斷題。從文章最后一段中"Now I'm saying to him' I love you.’ " she added.（“現在我對他說‘我愛你�！彼�補充道。）可推知，她將會給自己的孩子教更加完整的句子。故答案為D。
