问题     Early childhood is a time of tremendous growth across all areas of
development, especially the language skills.
    From birth up to the age of five, children develop language in a 【S1】______
very rapid pace. The stages of language development are universal
among humans. Therefore, the age and the pace at which a child 【S2】______
reaches each milestone of language development vary greatly among
children. Thus, language development in an individual child must be
compared with norms than with other individual children. In general, 【S3】______
girls develop language at a faster rate than boys. Less than any other 【S4】______
aspect of development, language development reflects the growth and
maturation of the brain. After the age of five it becomes much more
difficult for most children to learn language.
    Receptive language development usually develops faster than
expressive language. Two different styles of language development are
recognized. In receptive language development, children first speak
single words and then join words together, first into two-words sentences 【S5】______
and then into three-word sentences. In expressive language
development, children first speak in long intelligible babbles that mimic 【S6】______
the cadence and rhythm of adult speech. Most children use a
combination of these styles. Language development begins after birth.  【S7】______
Towards the end of pregnancy, a fetus begins to hear sounds and speech
coming from outside the mother’s body. Infants are acute attuned to the 【S8】______
human voice and prefer it to other sounds. In particular they prefer the
higher pitch characteristic with female voices. They are also very 【S9】______
attentive to the human face, especially when the face is talking. Since 【S10】______
crying is a child’s primary means of communication at birth, language
immediately begins to develop via repetition and imitation.
【S3】
选项
答案∧than—rather
解析 固定搭配中的副词缺失。该句意为“因此，每个孩子的语言发展必须与总体规律比较，而不能以其他孩子为参照物。”rather than为固定搭配，意为“而不是，而非”。此句并没有比较含义，故在than前加上副词rather。
