问题     What’s your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you【B1】______thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom 【B2】______ events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four【B3】______retain any specific, personal experiences.
    A variety of explanations have been 【B4】______ 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【B5】______about the age of two. But the most popular theory【B6】______that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot 【B7】______ childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories or 【B8】______ — one event follows 【B9】______ —as in a novel or film. But when they search through their mental【B10】______for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they don’t find any that fits the【B11】______. 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【B12】______for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply【B13】______any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use【B14】______spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, quickly【B15】______impressions of them into long-term memories. In other【B16】______, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about【B17】______—Mother talking about the afternoon【B18】______looking for seashells at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean park. Without this【B19】______reinforcement, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form【B20】______memories of their personal experiences.
【B3】
选项 A、largely
B、rarely
C、merely
D、really
答案B
解析 考查副词辨析。此处句意为：“正如年龄低于三或四岁的儿童______能记住任何具体的个人经历一样，成年人很少能记起上学前一年或之前发生的事情”。just as意为“正如”，表明主从句之间是顺承的关系。既然修饰主句的是否定副词，那么修饰从句的副词也应具备同样的含义。四个选项中只有rarely“极少，罕见”是否定副词，因此B是正确答案。
