问题  Henning studied how ______ students remember vocabulary while learning English as a second language. [br]  
There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Information In long term memory can be recalled at a later time when it is needed. The information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.
     Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, advanced, and native-speaking students.
     To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.
     Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggested that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.

选项 A、Because the four words have the same initial "w".
B、Because the four words have the same ending "er".
C、Because the four words have the similar pronunciation.
D、Because the four words have the similar number of the letters.

答案 C

解析 此题是测试原因的事实细节题,根据文中“For example,weather,whether,wither,and wetter are four words that sound alike.”可知答案是C。
