问题        According to a recent study, the idea of aging might look different through the eyes of little children. A good number of children aged three to five seemed to think that birthday parties were【C1】______for making people grow older. According to those kids, if people don’t have a birthday party, they【C2】______the same age.
       Developmental psychologist Jacqueline Woolley compiled two studies in which they tested children’s understanding of aging by telling them stories. The researchers told them a story about a child who had no birthday party. Then, a story about a child who had two birthday parties. After hearing the stories, the children were asked to tell the age of each character.
       Woolley’s team【C3】______that 4- and 5-year-olds would do【C4】______ better than 3-year-olds at reporting the age of the character in each story. But for the story, in which a child had two birthday parties, all the kids seemed【C5】______ .
       The researchers also tested children’s【C6】______ about the way adults age by telling a story about a woman who does not want to grow older. Seventy-one percent of three-year-olds responded with【C7】______answers. The older kids did better on that question, and all of the kids were able to correctly answer the other questions about the woman’s age.
       Children as young as three understand the idea that living things grow and【C8】______ do not. But birthday parties are a cultural 【C9】______. So the researchers set out to study how a piece of culture might 【C10】______ the way children think about an idea that overlaps culture and biology.

答案O
解析 副词辨析题。分析句子结构可知,空格处应填入副词修饰副词比较级better。分析本句可知,伍利的团队将孩子们分为两组:一组孩子年龄为四至五岁,而另一组孩子年龄为三岁。心理学家就他们的研究结果做出了预判。按照常识，年龄大的孩子在年龄辨别方面要比年龄小的孩子们强,这里需要一个程度副词。结合备选项，可以推断significantly“显著地,重大地”符合题意，故为答案。extremely虽然也是程度副词，但太过绝对,故排除。
