问题     Early childhood is a time of tremendous growth across all areas of
development, especially the language skills.
    From birth to the age of five, children develop language in a very【S1】________
rapid pace. The stages of language development are universal among
humans. Therefore, the age and the pace at which a child reaches each【S2】________
milestone of language development vary greatly among children. Thus,
language development in an individual child must be compared with
norms than with other individual children. In general, girls develop【S3】________
language at a faster rate than boys.  Less than any other aspect of【S4】________
development, language development reflects the growth and maturation
of the brain. After the age of five it becomes much more difficult for
most children to learn language.
    Receptive language development usually develops faster than
expressive language. Two different styles of language development are
recognized. In receptive language development, children first speak
single words and then join words together, first into two-words sentences【S5】________
and then into three-word sentences. In expressive language
development, children first speak in long intelligible babbles that mimic【S6】________
the cadence and rhythm of adult speech. Most children use a
combination of these styles. Language development begins after birth.【S7】________
Towards the end of pregnancy, a fetus begins to hear sounds and speech
coming from outside the mother’s body. Infants are acute attuned to the【S8】________
human voice and prefer it to other sounds. In particular they prefer the
higher pitch characteristic with female voices. They are also very【S9】________
attentive to the human face, especially when the face is talking. Since【S10】________
crying is a child’s primary means of communication at birth, language
immediately begins to develop via repetition and imitation.
【S3】
选项
答案∧than—rather
解析 固定搭配中的副词缺失。该句意为“因此，每个孩子的语言发展必须与平均水平比较，而不能与其他个体比较。”此句并没有比较含义，故在than前加上副词rather。rather than为固定搭配，意为“而不是，而非”。
