问题     Children do not think the way adults do. For most of the first year of life, if something is out of sight, it’s out of mind. If you cover a baby’s【C1】______toy with a piece of cloth, the baby thinks the toy has disappeared and stops looking for it. A 4-year-old may【C2】______that a sister has more fruit juice when it is only the shapes of the glasses that differ, not the【C3】______of juice.
    Yet children are smart in their own way. Like good little scientists, children are always testing their child-sized【C4】______about how things work. When your child throws her spoon on the floor for the sixth time as you try to feed her, and you say, "That’s enough! I will not pick up your spoon again!" the child will【C5】______test your claim. Are you serious? Are you angry? What will happen if she throws the spoon again? She is not doing this to drive you【C6】______: rather, she is learning that her desires and yours can differ, and that sometimes those【C7】______are important and sometimes they are not.
    How and why does children’s thinking change? In the 1920s, Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget proposed that children’s cognitive(认知的)abilities unfold【C8】______, like the blooming of a flower, almost independent of what else is【C9】______in their lives. Although many of his specific conclusions have been【C10】______or modified over the years, his ideas inspired thousands of studies by investigators all over the world.
A)advocate I)immediately
B)amount J)naturally
C)confirmed K)obtaining
D)crazy L)primarily
E)definite M)protest
F)differences N)rejected
G)favorite O)theories
H)happening [br] 【C4】

选项

答案 O

解析 名词辨析题。空格前为形容词child-sized,空格后为介词about,故推测该空格处为名词。根据句意:孩子们就像一些很棒的小科学家一样,总是会验证他们孩子们般大小的事物运转的——。由此可知,theories“理论”符合句意,故为答案。备选名词differences“区别”不符合句意,可以排除。
