41、as one. Considering these facts, the possibilities for breakdowns in communication seem infinite in number. However, we do communicate successfully from time to time. And we do learn to speak languages. But learning to speak languages seems to be a very mysterious process. For a long time, people th

42、ought that we learned a language only by imitation and association. For example, a baby touches a hot pot and starts to cry. The mother says, “Hot, hot!” And the baby, when it stops crying, imitates the mother and says, “Hot, hot!” However, Noam Chomsky, a famous expert in language, pointed out that

43、 although children do learn some words by imitation and association, they also combine words to make meaningful sentences in ways that are unique, unlearned and creative. Because young children can make sentences they have never heard before, (2) Chomsky suggested that human infants are born with th

44、e ability to learn language.

This theory explains the potential that human infants have for l

47、 C 【试题解析】 事实细节题。由 “Chomsky suggested that human infants are born with the ability to learn language.”可知 Chomsky 认为人类学习语言的能力是天生的。 【知识模块】 听力 18 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 事实细节题。短文最后一句 “But it does not really explain how children come to use language in particular ways.”中的 come to use 与 D 选项中的 learn to use 是同义转换。

48、 【知识模块】 听力 19 【听力原文】 The earths oceans are huge, so much bigger than the land area that they cover 70% of the surface of the earth. Throughout history humans have been directly or indirectly influenced by the oceans. (4) Ocean waters serve as a source of foods and valuable minerals. Increasingly, pe

49、ople are turning to the oceans for their food supply either by direct consumption or indirectly by harvesting fish. Besides, oceans are a major element in the formation of our weather.
