问题     What’s your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you【C1】______ thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom【C2】______ events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four 【C3】______  retain any specific, personal experiences. A variety of explanations have been 【C4】______  by psychologists for this "childhood amnesia (儿童失忆症) . One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature 【C5】______ about the age of two. But the most popular theory 【C6】______ that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot【C7】______ childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories or【C8】______  —one event follows【C9】______ as in a novel or film. But when they search through their mental 【C10】______ for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they don’t find any that fits the【C11】______ . It’s like trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary.
    Now psychologist Annette Simms of the New York State University offers a new 【C12】______  for childhood amnesia.  She argues that there simply【C13】______ any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use 【C14】______ spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, quickly  【C15】______  impressions of them into long term memories. In other【C16】______ , children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about【C17】______ —Mother talking about the afternoon【C18】______  looking for seashells at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park. Without this【C19】______ reinforcement, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form【C20】______ memories of their personal experiences. [br] 【C19】

选项 A、habitual
B、verbal
C、pretty
D、mutual

答案 B

解析 空格处应填形容词,修饰reinforcement。该句意思是“如果没有口语的巩固,儿童无法形成固定的记忆。”verbal意为“言辞上的”,符合上下文。habitual"习惯的";pretty"漂亮的";mutual“相互的”。
