Executive functioning allows us to keep a goal in mind, take【C5】______to achieve that goal, and to ignore other information that might【C6】______ us from that goal. The question is; Would it be the case that bilinguals, by the【C7】______need for controlling the two languages, develop a more efficient executive functioning system? The results suggest that bilinguals【C8】______ have this positive collateral effect, which is even stronger when it goes to kids and older people. These are ages【C9】______executive functioning is worse.
Bilinguals do better at tests that require multitasking, including ones that【C10】______ driving and talking on a phone. And the longer people have spoken multiple languages, the greater the cognitive【C11】______. There are even benefits when languages were【C12】______ at later ages.
Certainly, bilingualism comes - with some【C13】______. Bilinguals have more " tip-of-the-tongue" problems. There are a couple of milliseconds before they can target. Bilingual children, also, have【C14】______a smaller vocabulary in each of their languages than monolingual children,【C15】______ they probably know more words altogether.
Still, all of these findings are【C16】______ abstract. It is difficult to take laboratory findings showing better executive functioning in bilinguals and demonstrate that they【C17】______ into better performance in the workplace or some other practical【C18】______.

选项
A、somewhat
B、someway
C、somehow
D、sometimes
答案
A
解析
副词辨析题。句意为:诚然,这些发现都稍显抽象。根据句首的still可知词句为段落间转折句。前文大致介绍了双语使用者的优势和局限,本段对前文的发现进行总结。空格位于形容词abstract之前,应说明其程度。在叫个选项中,somewhat表示“稍微,有点”,可作为程度副词,且符合上下文语境,故为答案。sometimes“有时”表示时间,someway“以某种方法”和somehow“不明原因地;以某种方式”则表示方式,均可排除。
