问题     A man sits alone at a workbench, starting at a piece of equipment with a puzzled frown(皱眉). He says:"So if I put red four there, and link it to blue three, that’ll leave blue six free. Then I can use that for green four. Right. " He begins to work.
    People often feel the need to speak their thoughts aloud. If asked why they do it, they reply that it helps their concentration. Authors often make similar remarks about the need to get a first draft down on paper, in order to see whether what they have written corresponds to(相符合)what they had in mind. The French thinker, Joseph Joubert(1754—1824), once said, "We only know just what we meant to say after we have said it. "
    Perhaps the most common use of language as an instrument of thought is found when people perform mathematical calculations "in their head". Very often, this supposedly "mental" act is accompanied by a verbal commentary(口头评论). However, it is not essential that language used in this way should always be spoken aloud or written down. Often, people can be seen to move their lips while they are thinking, but no actual sound emerges. Language is evidently present, but in a "sub-vocal" form.
    Several theories have been proposed about the role of lauguage as the instrument of thought-notably that of the Russian psychologist, Lev Semenovich Vygotsky(1896— 1934), who argued for a concept of "inner speech", a mental use of words to evoke(唤起)a sequence of thoughts. Do all thoughts, then, require language? This complex question can not be answered easily without consideration of the main factors which give rise to(导致)the complications(复杂性).
What is the author mainly concerned with in the passage?
选项 A、The relation between spoken language and written language.
B、The necessity to study the habit of speaking aloud.
C、The use of language in human thinking process.
D、The differences in some theories concerning the relation between language and thougt.
答案C
解析 文章开始举例说明了许多人借助语言这一工具帮助思考这一事实，第二段具体讲述了人们愿意运用语言进行思考；第三段叙述人们在思考中运用各种语言形式的情况。可见，全文是围绕语言思维展开的。所以C为正确答案。
