问题     Critics of early schooling cite research that questions whether 4-year-old children are ready to take on formal learning. Educators find that older【C1】____ are more likely to succeed during school careers,【C2】______ their younger counterparts are more likely to fall. Kindergarten children who turn five during the later half of the year seem to be at a disadvantage when it【C3】______ physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development.
    【C4】______, children who are nearly six when they enter kindergarten 【C5】______ to receive better grades and score higher on achievement【C6】______ throughout their schooling experience than 【C7】______those who begin kindergarten having just turned five. Being bright and verbally skillful and being ready for school do not seem to be the【C8】______thing. It is easy to confuse the superficial poise and sophistication of many of today’s children【C9】______ inner maturity. Indeed, evidence suggests that early schooling eats its own bitter fruit; Youngsters【C10】______ parents push them to attain academic success in preschool are less creative, have more anxiety about tests, and, by the end of kindergarten, 【C11】______ to maintain their initial academic advantage【C12】______ their less-pressured peers.
    Many psychologists and educators remain【C13】______ of approaches that place 4-year olds in a formal educational setting. They question【C14】______ environmental enrichment can significantly alter the built-in developmental timetable of a child reared in a non-disadvantaged home. They do not【C15】______, however, the value of day-care centers and nursery schools that provide a homelike environment and【C16】______ children possible freedom to play, develop at their own way, and【C17】______their social skills. But they point out that many of the things children once did in first grade are now【C18】______ of them in kindergarten. These psychologists and educators believe we are【C19】______ young children too hard and thereby【C20】______them of their childhood.
【C13】
选项 A、approval
B、skeptical
C、optimistic
D、consistent
答案B
解析 语义衔接题。空格后搭配的介词是of，所以首先排除[C]optimistic和[D]consistent，因为它们都不能与of搭配。[A]approval“赞同，许可”；[B]skeptical“怀疑”，由下句中question一词可知，他们对这种方法持怀疑态度，故选择[B]。
