Students should be jealous. Not only do babies get to doze their days away, but they’ve also mastered the fine art of learning in their sleep.
By the time babies are a year old, they can recognize a lot of sounds and even simple words. MarieCheour at the University of Turku in Finland suspected that they might progress this fast because they learn language while they sleep as well as when they are awake:
To test the theory,Cheour and their colleagues studied 45 newborn babies in the first days of their lives. They exposed all the infants to an hour of Finnish vowel sounds one that sounds like "oo", another like "ee" and a third boundary vowel peculiar to Finnish and similar languages that sounds like something in between.EEG(脑电图) recording of the infants brains before and after the session showed that the newborns could not distinguish the sounds.
Fifteen of the babies then went back with their mothers, while the rest were split into two sleep-study groups. One group was exposed throughout their night-time sleeping hours to the same three vowels, while the others listened to the other, easier-to-distinguish vowel sounds.
When tested in the morning, and again in the evening, the babies who’d heard the tricky boundary vowels all night showed’ brainwave activity indicating that they could now recognize this sounD、They could identify the sound even when its pitch was changed, while none of the other babies could pick up the boundary vowel at all.
Cheour doesn’t know how babies accomplish this nighttime learning, but she suspects that the special ability might indicate that unlike adults, babies don’t "turn off" their cerebral cortex(大脑皮层)while they sleep. The skill probably fades in the’ course of the first years of life, she adds—so forget the idea that you can pick up the tricky French vowels as an adult just by slipping a language tape under your pillow.But while it may not help grown-ups,Cheour is hoping to use the sleeping hours to give remedial help to babies who are genetically at risk of language disorders.

网考网参考答案：B
网考网解析：
[解析] 关键词为three vowels…Finnish sounds。依据关键词，可在短文第四段找到相关语句：They exposed all the infants to an hour Of Finnish vowel sounds one that sounds“oo”，another“ke"ee"and a third boundary vowel peculiar to Finnish and similar languages that sounds like something in between．这句话的意思是：他们让所有的婴儿听一个小时的芬兰元音——其中一个类似“oo”，另一个类似“ee”，还有一个芬兰语和类似语言特有的边界音，听起来像两者之间的声音。由此可以推断出并不是三个元音都是芬兰音，故此题为“错误”的。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
