问题     What’s your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you【C1】______thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom recall events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four【C2】______retain any specific, personal experiences.
    A variety of explanations have been【C3】______by psychologists for this "childhood amnesia (童年失忆症)". One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature【C4】______about the age of two. But the most popular theory【C5】______that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot【C6】______childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories or【C7】______— one event follows【C8】______— as in a novel or film.【C9】______when they search through their mental【C10】______for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they don’t find any that fits the【C11】______. It’s like trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary.
    Now psychologist Annette Simms of the New York State University offers a new【C12】______for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply aren’t any early childhood memories to【C13】______. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else’s【C14】______description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, quickly【C15】______impressions of them into long-term memories. In other【C16】______. children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about【C17】______— Mother talking about the afternoon【C18】______looking for seashells at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park. Without this【C19】______reinforcement, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form【C20】______memories of their personal experiences. [br] 【C14】
选项 A、virtual
B、printed
C、visual
D、spoken
答案 D
解析 语义衔接题。根据下句的hear others talk about可知，此处说的是孩子们需要学会倾听其他人对自已经历的口头描述，由此可知[D]spoken为答案。所填词为第二段倒数第二句中出现的verbal和下旬的talk的近义复现。
