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、The study of the short-term memory.
B、The study of the long-term memory.
C、Differences between the short-term memory and the long-terra memory.
D、Similarities between the short-term memory and the long-term memory.

答案 C

解析 此题是测试全文内容的主旨大意题,短文主要概述了科学家对短期记忆和长期记忆的相异点比较研究,因此可知答案是C。
