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.
【C7】
选项 A、reflect
B、attain
C、access
D、refer
答案A
解析 考查动词辨析。句子的意思是：“最流行的理论认为，既然成年人的思维方式与儿童不一样，他们就无法______童年的记忆”。因此画线处所需要的词应与记忆有关，是可以与“记忆”搭配的动词。A．reflect意为“想到，思考”，符合语境，为正确答案。attain意为“获得，到达”；access意为“接近，进入”；refer用作不及物动词时，意为“提到，谈到；参考，查阅”，常与to搭配使用，用作及物动词时，指“查资料；涉及”，常用作refer…to，用在此处不符合结构。三项均不符合题意。
