问答题
As people age, the brain changes in both good ways and bad. If you are over 20, your cognitive performance is probably alreadyon the wane. The speed over which people can process information【S1】____________ declines at a steady rate from as early as their 20s. A common test of processing speed is the "digit symbol substitution test", in that a range of symbols are paired with a set of numbers in a【S2】____________code. Participants are shown the code, given a row of symbols, then【S3】____________asked to write down the corresponding number in the box below within a set period. There is nothing cognitively challenging about the task; levels of education do no difference to performance. But age does.【S4】____________Speed consistently declines as people get older. Fortunately, there is some good news to go with the bad. Psychologists distinguish "fluid intelligence", which is the ability【S5】____________ to solve new problems, and "crystallized intelligence", which roughly equates to an individual’s stock of accumulating knowledge. 【S6】____________ These reserves of knowledge continue to increase with age: people’s performance on vocabulary and general-knowledge tests keeps improving into their 70s. Yet experience can often 【S7】____________compensate for cognitive decline. In an old but instructive study of typists ranging in the age from 19 to 72, older workers typed【S8】____________just as fast as young ones, even though their tapping speed was【S9】____________slower. They achieved this by looking further ahead in the text, which allowed them to keep going smoothly.【S10】____________《问题》:【S2】
【正确答案】that→which
【答案解析】关系代词误用。逗号后面的从句是非限制性定语从句,引导从句的关系代词指代先行词the“digit symbol substitution test”,并在从句中作介词in的宾语。that不引导非限制性定语从句,且当定语从句中介词提前时,不能使用that作引导词;which可以引导非限制性定语从句,修饰整个主句或主句的一部分,并可用于介词之后。故应将关系代词that改为which。
