A good number of children aged three to five seemed to think that birthday parties were【C1】______for making people grow older. According to those kids, if people don’t have a birthday party, they【C2】______the same age.
Developmental psychologist Jacqueline Woolley compiled two studies in which they tested children’s understanding of aging by telling them stories. The researchers told them a story about a child who had no birthday party. Then, a story about a child who had two birthday parties. After hearing the stories, the children were asked to tell the age of each character.
Woolley’s team【C3】______that 4- and 5-year-olds would do【C4】______ better than 3-year-olds at reporting the age of the character in each story. But for the story, in which a child had two birthday parties, all the kids seemed【C5】______ .
The researchers also tested children’s【C6】______ about the way adults age by telling a story about a woman who does not want to grow older. Seventy-one percent of three-year-olds responded with【C7】______answers. The older kids did better on that question, and all of the kids were able to correctly answer the other questions about the woman’s age.
Children as young as three understand the idea that living things grow and【C8】______ do not. But birthday parties are a cultural 【C9】______. So the researchers set out to study how a piece of culture might 【C10】______ the way children think about an idea that overlaps culture and biology.

选项
答案
C
解析
形容词辨析题。分析句子结构可知,空格处应填入形容词或分词作动词seemed的表语。根据前一句可得知,伍利团队的预期是四五岁的孩子会比三岁的孩子在辨别年龄时表现得好很多。空格所在的句子由But 连接表示转折,可以推断出,所有的孩子对举办过两次生日派对的孩子的年龄的辨别并不符合心理学家们的预期。结合备选项,可以推断出confused“困惑的”符合题意,故为答案。
