Executive functioning allows us to keep a goal in mind, take【C5】______to achieve that goal, and to ignore other information that might【C6】______ us from that goal. The question is; Would it be the case that bilinguals, by the【C7】______need for controlling the two languages, develop a more efficient executive functioning system?

These are ages【C9】______executive functioning is worse.
Bilinguals do better at tests that require multitasking, including ones that【C10】______ driving and talking on a phone. And the longer people have spoken multiple languages, the greater the cognitive【C11】______. There are even benefits when languages were【C12】______at later ages.

选项
A、outcome
B、mistake
C、cost
D、upset
答案
C
解析
名词辨析题。句意为:当然,使用双语要付出一些代价。本句为段落主旨句。后文提到双语使用者会出现一些问题,比如张口忘词。前文都在介绍双语使用的益处,这里提到了存在的问题,故本句表达的意思应是双语使用也要付出一些代价,才能起到承上启下的作用,因此,选用cost。outcome“结果”为中性词汇,不能表示负面含义,可先排除;mistake“错误”和upset“混乱”虽然表示负面意义,但不能起到承上启下的作用,也不是本题答案。
