2018高级会计师《职称英语》基础班：补全短文1 (2)

Some people worry about signing to babies. They are afraid that these babies won’t feel a need to talk. Maybe they will develop spoken language later than other babies. ___4___ In fact, one study found just the opposite. Signing babies actually learned to speak earlier than other children.

有些人对此很担忧，他们担心这些小孩会觉得开口说话没有必要，这样他们的语言能力发展可能比其他孩子慢。(4)实际上，有一项研究发现，事实正好相反，掌握手语的孩子实际上比其他孩子更早开口说话。

【译文】前文讲有些人担心婴儿学习手语会导致其会话能力发展缓慢，后文讲的是研究表明并不是这样，因此空格处应该填表示转折的句子。

A. However, research does not show this.

B. All parents want to teach babies to sign.

E. It can be useful because many people understand it.

【答案】A

As they grow older, these children are more interested in books. They also score higher on intelligence tests.

随着年龄的增长，他们对阅读的兴趣更强，在智力测试中获得的分数更高。

There is still a big question for parents: Which are the best signs to teach their babies? Some parents make their own signs. Other parents want to teach ASL. ___5___ There’s no clear answer, but we do know this: All signing babies and their families are talking quite a lot!

对于父母来说，还有一个大问题：哪种手语对孩子来说是好的?有的父母使用自己创造的手势，还有些父母使用美国手语，(5)。目前对于这个问题还没有明确的答案，但是我们确切地知道：会用手语的婴儿和他们的家人会“说”很多话

【译文】前文讲有些父母教孩子自己创造的手语，而有些父母教孩子ASL，而后文中说对教哪种并没有一个确定，因此空格中填写的或者是对ASL的解释，或者填写父母教孩子其他特别种类的手语。

B. All parents want to teach babies to sign.

E. It can be useful because many people understand it.

【答案】E
