问题     TV is so often a parent’s good friend, keeping kids happily occupied so the grownups can cook dinner, answer the phone, or take a shower. But【C1】______ that electronic babysitter is not an educational【C2】______. According to a recent research, babies who watch TV are more likely to have【C3】______ cognitive development and language at 14 months,【C4】______ if they’re watching programs【C5】______ for adults and older children. It’s surprising that TV-watching made a【C6】______ at such a tender age.
    This new study【C7】______ 259 lower-income families in New York, most of whom spoke Spanish as their【C8】______ language at home. Other studies examining higher-income families have come to the【C9】______ conclusion: TV watching not only isn’t educational, but it seems to【C10】______ babies’ development.
    Babies who watched 60 minutes of TV daily had developmental【C11】______ one-third lower at 14 months than babies who weren’t watching that much TV. The【C12】______ may be due to the fact that when kids and parents are watching TV, they’re【C13】______ talking, playing, and interactions that are【C14】______ to learning and development.

The latest study of educational TV programs like Sesame Street adds more【C19】______ to a recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics that babies under age 2【C20】______ watch no TV at all.

选项 A、watched
B、followed
C、inspected
D、traced
答案 B
解析 词义辨析题。根据下一句话的谓语examine“仔细观察”，可以知道此处要填一个动词。表示类似意思，所以选follow“密切注意”。watched虽然也有“观察”之意，但主要指“用眼睛观察”这一动作，不符合这里的语境。inspected“仔细检查”和traced“追踪，追溯”，均不同于调查研究中的观察行为。
