問題詳情
請依下文回答第 48 題至第 50 題：In 1970, a wild child was found in California: a girl of 13 who had been isolated in a small room and had not beenspoken to by her parents since infancy. “Genie,” as she was later dubbed to protect her privacy by the psycholinguistswho tested her, could not stand erect. At the time, she was unable to speak: she could only whimper. The case came tolight when Genie’s 50-year-old mother ran away from her 70-year-old husband after a violent quarrel and took thechild along. The mother was partially blind and applied for public assistance. Genie was sent to the Los AngelesChildren’s Hospital for tests.The discovery of Genie aroused intense curiosity among psychologists, linguists, neurologists, and others who studybrain development. They were eager to know what Genie’s mental level was at the time she was found and whether shewould be capable of developing her faculties. “It’s a terribly important case,” says Harlan Lane, a psycholinguist atNortheastern University who wrote The Wild Boy of Aveyron. “Since our morality doesn’t allow us to conductdeprivation experiments with human beings, these unfortunate people are all we have to go on.”

1970年，在加利福尼亞州發現了一個野孩子：一個13歲的女孩，她被隔離在一個小房間裡，從父母那裡開始就沒有和父母說過話。 “精靈”，後來被稱為保護她的隱私的心理語言學家測試了她，不能直立。那時，她無法說話：她只能嗚咽。當Genie的50歲母親在一場暴力爭吵後離開她70歲的丈夫並帶走了孩子時，案件曝光。母親部分失明併申請公共援助。 Genie被送到洛杉磯兒童醫院接受檢查。 Genie的發現引起了心理學家，語言學家，神經學家以及研究大腦發育的其他人的強烈好奇心。他們渴望知道Genie在被發現時的心理水平是什麼，以及她是否有能力發展自己的才能。 “這是一個非常重要的案例，”東北大學的心理語言學家Harlan Lane說道，他寫了“荒野男孩”。 “既然我們的道德不允許我們對人類進行剝奪實驗，那麼這些不幸的人就是我們必須繼續下去的。
