题目解答
答案
解析
本题考查对文章细节信息的理解。解题思路是在文章中找到与学习母语方式相关的内容，然后将各选项与原文进行对比分析。
- 首先，在文章中定位到关键句子 “We learn our own languages by listening and copying. We do this without studying or thinking about it.”，明确了学习母语的方式是通过听和模仿，并且不需要学习或思考。
- 接着分析选项A，文中未提及通过练习来学习母语，所以A选项不符合原文。
- 再看选项C，原文提到学习母语是 “without studying”，而C选项说通过学习来学习母语，与原文不符。
- 最后看选项D，原文说学习母语是 “without thinking”，而D选项说通过思考来学习母语，也与原文不符。
