问题     TV is so often a parent’s good friend, keeping kids happily occupied so the grownups can cook dinner, answer the phone, or take a shower. But【C1】______ that electronic babysitter is not an educational【C2】______. According to a recent research, babies who watch TV are more likely to have【C3】______ cognitive development and language at 14 months,【C4】______ if they’re watching programs【C5】______ for adults and older children. It’s surprising that TV-watching made a【C6】______ at such a tender age.
    This new study【C7】______ 259 lower-income families in New York, most of whom spoke Spanish as their【C8】______ language at home. Other studies examining higher-income families have come to the【C9】______ conclusion: TV watching not only isn’t educational, but it seems to【C10】______ babies’ development.
    Babies who watched 60 minutes of TV daily had developmental【C11】______ one-third lower at 14 months than babies who weren’t watching that much TV. The【C12】______ may be due to the fact that when kids and parents are watching TV, they’re【C13】______ talking, playing, and interactions that are【C14】______ to learning and development.
    But what about【C15】"______" TV, like Sesame Street? The researchers didn’t find any pluses or minuses when【C16】______ to non-educational programs designed for small children, like Sponge-Bob SquarePants.【C17】______ research by some of the same scientists has found that parents whose children watch non-educational TV programs like SpongeBob SquarePants spend【C18】______ time reading to their children or teaching them. The latest study of educational TV programs like Sesame Street adds more【C19】______ to a recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics that babies under age 2【C20】______ watch no TV at all.
【C3】
选项 A、postponed
B、suspended
C、checked
D、delayed
答案D
解析 词义辨析题。postponed指“延迟的”，通常是做好计划使某事物延期，显然小孩认知发展的迟缓不是计划好的；suspended“暂停的，缓期的”，与句意不符；checked“受到阻碍的”，根据后文，可知看电视并不会阻碍认知和语言能力的发展，所以均可排除，答案选D。
