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.
【C12】
选项 A、emphasis
B、arrangement
C、explanation
D、factor
答案C
解析 考查上下文理解与名词辨析。空格处所在的句子是本段的主题句，因此可以根据下文的内容对本题进行判断。从下文可知，这段主要介绍了一位心理学家对于儿童失忆症的分析。此外，从第二段与本段的关系可知，第二段介绍了几种对儿童失忆症的解释，而本段更详细地介绍了一种新的解释。第二段的第一句和本句相互呼应，因此此处的正确答案应为C．explanation“解释”。emphasis意为“强调”，不能与for搭配，而常与on连用；arrangement意为“安排”，可以与for搭配，指“为…作出安排”；factor意为“因素”，指造成或导致某种情况的原因，通常不与for搭配，而与of或in连用；均不符合题意。
