: Think back to your childhood and try to identify your earliest memory. How
: old were you? [A] Most people are not able to recount memories for experiences
: prior to the age of three years, a phenomenon called infantile amnesia.[B]
: The question of why infantile amnesia occurs has intrigued psychologists for
: decades, especially in light of ample evidence that infants and young
: children can display impressive memory capabilities. [C] Many find that
: understanding the general nature of autobiographical memory, that is, memory
: for events that have occurred in one's own life, can provide some important
: clues to this mystery. [D] Between ages three and four, children begin to give
: fairly lengthy and cohesive descriptions of events in their past. What
: factors are responsible for this developmental turning point?
: Look at the four squares [A] [B] [C] and [D] that indicate where the

有寫過3點步驟
再來體會一下用法

1.句子插入題首先要瞭解要插入的句子

It is unlikely that this memory will be from the first two years of life.
因為主詞太長了 所以放it 在前方 原句是That~ is unlikely.

2.分析關鍵字
this memory 請注意這個冠詞 還有memory的字尾 是個單數的名詞
這個性質很重要
from the first two years of life
簡單的說 作者認為這個記憶 應該不太可能是 來自你1.2歲的時候

3.開始讀文章

Think back to your childhood and try to identify your earliest memory. How
old were you? [A]

插入就完成了 為什麼呢 your earliest memory 是最高級 當然只有一個記憶是最早的
其實作者用了兩句話 回答這個問句
一個就是插入句
1.你的答案應該不太可能是1.2歲的時候
2.大多數的人沒有辦法喚起3歲以前的記憶 這個現象稱為 infantile amnesia.

這是個完整的2分法 不是1.2歲 當然剩下3歲是大多數人最早的答案

4.如果不放心 我們來看看剩下的三個選項
如果你作了上述3點 仍有疑慮 就可以使用以下關門的方法


B.為何不能插入 因為前一句的名詞是複數的 memories for experiences
他的代名詞 應該是 these memories

C.如果看太快 您可能誤選這個選項
這個句子中根本沒有 memory
因為 memory capabilities 才是個名詞 所以this memory 沒有辦法指到這裡

D. 前面的句子有兩個memory
the general nature of autobiographical memory 是後位修飾
中文翻譯從後面開始 autobiographical memory的 general feature
所以名詞是 以general feature 為主角
this 不能指到修飾語中的東西

後面又有一個memory for events 是 autobiographical memory 的同位語
, that is, 就是換句話說

所以B.C.D都錯了 關門成功
請放心的選A 吧
