A variety of explanations have been 4 by psychologists for this "childhood a mnesia" (儿童失忆症). One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is 5 for forming memories, does not mature until about the age of two. But the most popular theory 6 that, since adults don't think like children, they cannot 7 childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories or 8 ―one event follows 9 as in a novel or film. But when they search through their mental 10 for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they don’t find any that fit the 11 . 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 12 for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply 13 any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr Simms, children need to learn to use someone else’s spoken description of their personal 14 in order to turn their own short term, quickly forgotten 15 of them into long term memories. In other 16 , children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about 17 ― Mother talking about the afternoon 18 looking for seashells at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park. Without this 19 reinforcement, says Dr Simms, children cannot form 20 memories of their personal experiences.

1.【答案】C
【解析】recall意为“想起”，指把忘记的东西又想起来，其动作含有有意识的努力和意志，常与Call，could等词连用。例如：I是remember her face but I cannot recall where I met her.我认得她的脸，但我记不起在哪里见过她。根据上下文，此处需要填与前面的remember意思相近的动词，意为：成年人很少能想起一些事。故选项C正确。figure意为“计算，描述，估计，相像”，例如：Can you figure (out) why he did it? 你能明白他为什么做这吗?interpret意为“解释，说明”，例如：It is difficult to interpret these statistics without knowing how they were obtained.不知道这些数据的来源，就很难解释。affirm通常为再度或回答某一问题时“断言，肯定”，例如：He affirmed that he was telling the truth.他保证自己说的是事实。
2.【答案】D
【解析】just as意为“就像”，例如：Things turned out just as I expected.根据上下文的意思：成年人与小孩子一样都不记得童年的事。故选项D正确。now that意为“既然”，常用于完成时态，例如：She is enjoying the job more now that she’s got more responsibility.既然她承担了更多的责任，她就更喜欢这份工作。Even if意为“即使”，引导让步状语从句，例如：Even if you take a taxi，you’ll still miss your train.as though/if意为“似乎，好像”，例如：They stared at me as if I was crazy.
3.【答案】B
【解析】rarely否定副词，意为“很少”，与主句中seldom(很少)前后照应。largely意为“主要地”，例如：The accident was largely due to his carelessness.事故主要是由于他的疏忽造成的。merely意为“仅仅”，例如：He is not merely a good artist，but a great one.really意为“真正地”。本题句意为：成年人很少想起比入学前一年左右更早的事情，就像三四岁以前的孩子很少能记得任何具体的个人经历。
