问题     It only takes ten minutes, but reading your baby a bedtime story could yield benefits for years to come, scientists said today. Research shows that children who are【C1】________to a lot are faster at understanding words. This【C2】________processing helps them do better at school— and could【C3】________help them get a good job, have a happy【C4】________and keep on the right side of the law. Psychologist Anne Fernald said that the effects are so【C5】________that talking to children should be【C6】________as importantly as feeding them. And it is never too【C7】________to start.
    Dr Fernald said: "【C8】________you want your kid to do well in school, talk to them【C9】________a baby. If you bring a child into the world, we【C10】________the responsibility for feeding them, keeping them clean and keeping them safe. I think we now have enough scientific evidence to add something else to that list—and that is【C11】________ learning from infancy on. Long before your baby is speaking, it is【C12】________information about language."
    In a series of studies on babies, Dr Fernald showed that there are big differences in how quickly children process words. Speedy processing is important【C13】________ it frees up the brain to think about the next word—or the world【C14】________. Dr Fernald said: "You are building a mind that can conceptualize and【C15】________and think about the past and think about the future." She also showed that children who are【C16】________at understanding words tend to hear more words at home. In her studies, some【C17】________had as few as 600 words a day directly talked to them. To put this in【C18】________, the average adult speaks around 200 words a minute. Other children heard more than 12,000 words.
    Dr Fernald has also shown that children who can quickly process words at the age of two do better at school at the age of eight. Other research has shown that children who do well in【C19】________school are more likely to go onto higher education, get a good job, remain married and stay out of【C20】________.
【C19】
选项 A、public
B、secondary
C、primary
D、private
答案C
解析 本句谈论到其他研究的结果，从文章逻辑来看，这里提到的研究应与Femald的研究联系紧密，故空格所在的定语从句(who do well in…school)所修饰的children与上句提到的“8岁时学习成绩好”的children间应存在内在的逻辑关系。学生8岁时的学习是小学阶段的学习，C项primary搭配school指“小学”。B项secondary搭配school指“中学”，但上下文没有相关的语义依据，故排除B项。文章也并未说明在公立学校或私立学校成绩好的孩子更有可能接受高等教育，故A项public“公立的”和D项private“私立的”不正确。
