B
解析试题分析:考查宾语从句。本句中的宾语从句是由whether引导,whether在句中不充当任何成分,只起引导和连接作用。AC两项不能用于介词unop的后面;what要在句中充当成分。句意:这取决于是是否对于做这项工作感兴趣。根据句意说明B正确。
考点:考查宾语从句
点评:宾语从句属于名词性从句一种,名词性从句分为主语、宾语、表语、同位语从句四种,除宾语从句外,同位语从句和定语从句的区别是高考常考点。宾语从句中的连接词that, whether, if在句中不充当任何成分,只起连接作用;连接代词who(ever), which(ever), whom(ever),whose(ever),what(ever)在句中做主语,宾语,表语和定语;连接副词when, why, where, how,在句中做状语。应从上下句的句法关系着手分析,切不可‘望句形生答案’总的来说,考生在解答此类题型时,可用排除法,造句法或者还原法,造句法就是仿造原句的语法功能仿造出一个易懂易理解的句子,帮助判断。
Is language, like food, a basic human need? Judging from the extreme experiment of Frederick in the 13th 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 babies died before the first year. But clearly there was more than language deprivation (剥夺,丧失). What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the ability to survive is seriously affected.
Today no such extreme deprivation 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 signals of the baby, whose brain is programmed, to mop up language rapidly. There are critical times, it seems when children learn more rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again.
Linguists suggest that speech milestones are reached in a fixed order 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.
Recent evidence suggests that a baby is born with the ability 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 teddy bear with the sound pattern “teddy bear”.
But speech has to be developed, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling, clinging, grasping, crying, smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals reduces the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child’s nonverbal (非语言的) signals is basic to the growth and development of language.
