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】________.
【C11】
选项 A、motivating
B、providing
C、compelling
D、facilitating
答案B
解析 破折号后and that is…是句中something else的具体内容，是认为父母在喂养孩子等义务之外应该为孩子做的其他事情：…learning from infancy on。孩子在婴儿期并不能自己学习，需父母为其提供相应的环境，故B项providing“提供”满足要求。A项motivating“激发，促动”或D项facilitating“促成，便利”代入后分别指父母从孩子的婴儿期开始就让孩子有主动的学习行为或帮助孩子快速完成学习过程。这与常理不符。C项compelling“强迫”指父母迫使孩子学习，语义不符合句子要求。
