问题     There are times when your child proudly presents you with their
scribble of a stick figure with crazy hair. It might worth a closer look: if【S1】________
their drawing includes certain features, you could have a genius in your【S2】________
hands.
    According to a new study of human figures drawn by children aged
seven to nine, there are 30 so-called " exceptional items" that only
highly gifted children draw when depict people.【S3】________
    Previous attempts to analyze children’s intelligence through their
drawings have focused on their "drawing IQs": the number of features
and items drawn by a child judged against an average number drawn by【S4】________
children in their age group. This approach, however, is controversial.
Not only does drawing IQs give no information about the particular【S5】________
features drawn, but there are doubts about how valid the scores are as a
predictor of intelligence. There is currently no precise score that
differentiates gifted from not-gifted children. What is considered to be
gifted goes over a high IQ. For example, the role of creativity—in the【S6】________
form of generating novel ideas, thinking flexibly and out-of-the-box—is
widely considered a sign of giftedness. But these children give unusually【S7】________
answers to intelligence tests. Their answers are not necessarily wrong
but cannot be considered correct, because that they are not mentioned in the【S8】________
scoring manuals of the used tests.
    A research team found that out of 135 items drawn by the 120
children in their study, 30 items were considered to be " exceptional"
and a possible indicator for gifted. In the drawings of the highly gifted【S9】________
group, each of the 30 exceptional items occurred only once or twice.
Also, 20 of the highly gifted children drew one or more exceptional
items. Highly gifted children produce many novel drawings when【S10】________
compared to non-gifted children.
【S3】
选项
答案depict →depicting
解析 非谓语动词误用。本句意为“根据一项针对7岁至9岁儿童绘制的人像画的新研究，有30种所谓的‘特殊物品’，只有极具天赋的儿童在描绘人物时才会绘制。”在时间、条件、让步、方式等状语从句中，如果从句谓语含有be动词，从句的主语又和主句的主语一致，此时可将从句主语和be动词一起省略。此处完整形式可看作when they are depicting people，可省略they are，故将depict改为depicting。
