问题   Many dog owners who talk to their dogs are convinced that their words are being understood. It【C1】________they may be right. A study at Emory University has found that dogs have a【C2】________understanding of words,  are able to distinguish words they have heard【C3】________from those they haven’t, and are【C4】________to try to understand what is being said to them.
  Twelve dogs were【C5】________by their owners to take back two objects【C6】________the objects’ names-one soft toy and one rubber toy. The dogs were then【C7】________into an FMRI scanner and had their brain【C8】________monitored while their owners said the names of each toy as they held【C9】________up. As a control, the owner then spoke gibberish words, 【C10】________"bobbu" and "bodmicke", then held up novel objects like a hat or a doll.
  They found【C11】________there was more activation in the auditory (听觉的) regions of the dogs’ brains when they reacted【C12】________the novel words, suggesting that they sensed that【C13】________owners wanted them to understand【C14】________they were saying, and were 【C15】________to do so.
  "We expected to see that dogs neutrally discriminate【C16】________words that they know and words that they【C17】________,"said researcher Ashley Prichard, a PhD candidate in Emory University’s department of psychology. "What’s surprising is that the result is【C18】________ to that of research on humans—people【C19】________show greater neural activation for known words【C20】________novel words."
【C20】

选项 A、than
B、to
C、for
D、against

答案A

解析 联系上下文,greater是一个比较结构,后面应该用比较连词than,本句意为:“人们通常对已知单词比对生词表现出更强烈的神经反应。”所以选A。一般而言,比较级对比均用than,除了superior和junior用to。
