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? The results suggest that bilinguals【C8】______have this positive collateral effect, which is even stronger when it goes to kids and older people. 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.
Certainly, bilingualism comes with some 【C13】______. Bilinguals have more " tip-of-the-tongue" problems. There are a couple of milliseconds before they can target. Bilingual children, also, have 【C14】______ a smaller vocabulary in each of their languages than monolingual children,【C15】______they probably know more words altogether.

选项
A、symptoms
B、decline
C、incidences
D、spread
答案
A
解析
名词辨析题。句意为:双语使用者最多可比单语使用者晚四年发病。承接上一句,本句继续讨论多语使用给老年痴呆症患者带来的益处。再根据后置定语of the disease,之前的动词show,以及句中“晚四年”等信息,可知此处应选择symptoms“症状”。decline“衰退”、incidences“发生率”、spread“传播”均不合原文语境,故均可排除。
