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 【C2】______ events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four【C3】______retain any specific, personal experiences.
    A variety of explanations have been 【C4】______ by psychologists for this "childhood amnesia". One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature【C5】______about the age of two. But the most popular theory【C6】______that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot 【C7】______ childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories or 【C8】______ — one event follows 【C9】______ —as in a novel or film. But 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【C13】______any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use【C14】______spoken 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.
【C18】

选项 A、used
B、chosen
C、taken
D、spent

答案D

解析 考查动词辨析。从句子结构和所给的选项可知,画线处的词是过去分词作后置定语修饰时间名词afternoon,而且其相应的动词能用在“动词+时间+doing something”这一结构中。四个选项中,used意为“使用”,通常不用来修饰时间;chosen意为“选择”,可以说挑个时间去做某事,但意思与句子的要求不符,也不能用作choose time doing something;taken可以用来表示时间,但常用在It takes+time+to do something的结构中,不能用作过去分词作定语;D.spent意为“花费;花(时间);消耗(精力、力气)”,常用作spend______(time,money or energy) doing something或spend(time,money or energy)on something,符合语境,故选D。
