问题     Let’s all stop judging people who talk to themselves. New research says that those who can’t seem to keep their inner monologues (独白) in are actually more likely to stay on task, remain【C1】______ better and show improved perception capabilities. Not bad, really, for some extra muttering.   
    According to a series of experiments published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology by professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley, the act of using verbal clues to【C2】______ mental pictures helps people function quicker.
    In one experiment, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty【C3】______ and asked them to find just one of those, a banana. Half were【C4】______ to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other half kept their lips【C5】______ . Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didn’t, the researchers say. In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that【C6】______ the name of a common product when on the hunt for it helped quicken someone’s pace, but talking about uncommon items showed no advantage and slowed you down.
    Common research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn, although doing so when you’ve【C7】______ matured is not a great sign of【C8】______ The two professors hope to refute that idea,【C9】______ that just as when kids walk themselves through a process, adults can benefit from using language not just to communicate, but also to help "augment thinking".
    Of course, you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the information you share simple, like a grocery list. At any【C10】______ , there’s still such a thing as too much information.
A) apparently I) obscurely
B) arrogance J) sealed
C) brilliance K) spectators
D) claiming L) trigger
E) dedicated M) uttering
F) focused N) volume
G) incur O) volunteers H) instructed [br] 【C8】
选项
答案 C
解析 空格前为介词of，故本空需要填入一个名词或动名词。通常人们认为小孩在一项任务中自言自语有助于学习，但句中在说成年人自言自语时却用到了is not a great sign of．．．，由此可知，人们对成年人做事时自言自语持消极的态度，认为只有没有才智的人才会这样做。备选项中只有brilliance(才智，才华)符合句意，故答案为C。
