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】________.
【C3】
选项 A、only
B、always
C、hence
D、even
答案D
解析 破折号前面提到的是“更快速地理解话语”对孩子学习上的影响，破折号具有进一步解释说明的作用。故D项even“甚至”正确，可连接突出的、进一步的内容或事例，也能体现“学习成绩好”与“找到好工作”等影响之间的递进关系。A项only“只，仅仅”表明理解话语的能力只能影响孩子工作等方面的表现，这与常理不符。话语理解能力与找到好工作等事物间没有必然的联系，故排除强调事情发生的频率的B项always。C项hence代入后表示空格后提到的影响是do better at school的结果，但“学习成绩好”与孩子“遵纪守法”间不存在因果逻辑。
