问题     What’s your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you【B1】______thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom 【B2】______ events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four【B3】______retain any specific, personal experiences.
    A variety of explanations have been 【B4】______ 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【B5】______about the age of two. But the most popular theory【B6】______that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot 【B7】______ childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories or 【B8】______ — one event follows 【B9】______ —as in a novel or film. But when they search through their mental【B10】______for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they don’t find any that fits the【B11】______. 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【B12】______for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply【B13】______any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use【B14】______spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, quickly【B15】______impressions of them into long-term memories. In other【B16】______, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about【B17】______—Mother talking about the afternoon【B18】______looking for seashells at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean park. Without this【B19】______reinforcement, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form【B20】______memories of their personal experiences.
【B11】
选项 A、footstep
B、pattern
C、frame
D、landscape
答案B
解析 考查名词辨析。句子的意思是：“但是，当他们在脑海中搜寻童年的记忆，以补充进这一由语言表达的生活经历时，却找不到符合这种______的记忆。”从上文可知，成年人的思维方式与儿童不同，所以画线处的词应指与思维方式有关的内容。B．pattern意为“方式”，符合语境，表示“符合这种表达方式的记忆”。footstep意为“脚步”；frame意为“结构，框架”；landscape意为“山水，风景”，均不符合语境。故选B。
