问题     In some early attempts by psychologists to describe the basic learning process, the terms ’stimulus’, ’response’ and ’reinforcement’ were introduced. In an educational setting, these (1)_____ could be defined as follows. When a teacher gives an (2)_____, or sets a problem, or asks a question, the pupil (3)_____ in some way, and the teacher then tells the pupil if he has responded correctly. The teacher’s first action is called the (4)_____. The pupil’s action, carrying out the instruction, or solving the problem, or answering the question, is (5)_____ the response. When the teacher tells the pupil his response is (6)_____, the bond between the stimulus and the response is strengthened and reinforcement is positive. If the response is incorrect, the bond is weakened, and reinforcement is (7)_____
    Some psychologists laid great (8)_____ on the importance of reinforcement for continued learning. They (9)_____ that if a learner is not given information about his responses (feedback) he may not continue to respond. (10)_____, if his homework is not marked regularly, he will stop doing it. If in class, the answers he gives to the teacher’s questions are (11)_____ or brushed aside, he will stop trying to give any.
    Educational psychologists are, (12)_____, moving away from this simple, early (13)_____ of the basic learning process. The effects of feedback, for example, are seen to be more (14)_____ than this description suggests. Feedback does not merely positively or negatively (15)_____ the stimulus-response bond. It may (16)_____ confirm previously learned meanings and associations, correct mistakes, (17)_____ misunderstandings and show how well or badly different parts of the material have been learned. Thus (18)_____ may have the effect of increasing the learner’s confidence, backing up his previously (19)_____ knowledge, and showing him which items he has not (20)_____ grasped.

选项 A、answers
B、responds
C、retorts
D、replies
答案B
解析 语义衔接题。句中后面出现了the teacher then tells the pupil if he has responded correctly，可见前面部分的意思是：老师给出指令、设定难题、提出问题，学生以某种方式来回答。因此这里应该填入respond，与后面的respond属于词汇同现。answer意为"回答"，reply意为"回答"，虽然这两词放在句中也符合句子的语义逻辑关系，但是 respond可指"对刺激的反应"，常是自发的，或是对引发感情流露的行为的反应。因为这里是研究心理学中的刺激、反应及强化，因此用respond更符合上下文语境。retort意为"反驳，回嘴"，本句中没有使用retort这个词的语境。
