问题     It’s the bedtime ritual every parent dreads—being asked to read the same book for the umpteenth(无数次的)time. But while the constant repetition might be mind-numbing for mum or dad, it is the best way for toddlers to learn new words, according to research.     The findings suggest parents are wasting money by spending a【C1】______on huge book collections in the hope they will【C2】______their little ones. Instead, a small selection of favorites such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar or The Gruffalo will achieve far more.
    Dr. Jessica Horst, of the University of Sussex’s Word Lab【C3】______an experiment to check how【C4】______three-year-olds could recognize and recall six new words. The children were visited three times in a week at their homes. One group heard the same story three times in a row each time and another was read three different stories. All had the same amount of new words which appeared the same number of times. When researchers returned a week later, they found the children who heard the same story over and over had【C5】______learned 3.6 of the new words. Those that were exposed to a【C6】______of stories remembered only 2.6.
    They also noted the "repetition" group learned at a【C7】______rate than those in the "diversity" group. Dr. Horst said:"We are showing that less is more, to a point. Obviously, the more times you read to a child and the more books you have will help them. But you don’t need to go【C8】______and buy every single Thomas the Tank Engine book. Reading the same books over and over again helps. "
    Previous studies have found parents spend just 49 minutes doing things with their children each day. One in three don’t read to their children before【C9】______them to bed at night. Yet 30 minutes of one-on-one【C10】______sessions can improve reading age by nearly two years in less than five months.

选项
答案 B
解析 形容词辨析题。空格位于动词go后面，初步判断空 格处应填形容词或副词。上句说给孩子阅读的次数越多、你拥有的 书越多，会对孩子有帮助。但本句句首的But表明，本句应与上句意 思相对。结合本句句意，但是你不必变得——而去买下《火车头 托马斯》系列的每本书，可知B)crazy“疯狂的”符合题意，故为答案。
