   A simple computer program that teaches children to distinguish between sounds can dramatically boost their listening skills. It can allow them to progress by the equivalent of two years in just a few weeks, the game’s creator claims.
   The game, called Phonomena, was 【C1】______ by David Moore of the University of Oxford, UK, as an 【C2】______ for children with language problems, but he says his latest trials also show that it can help any child. Other experts, however, are reserving 【C3】______ until independent tests are carried out.
   Phonomena is designed to improve children’s ability to distinguish between different phonemes, the 【C4】______ sounds that form the building blocks of language. Up to a fifth of all children are thought to have problems hearing the differences between some sounds, says Moore, who heads the UK Medical Research Council’s Institute of Hearing Research.
   In the game, children have to distinguish between 【C5】______ of phonemes such as the "i" sound from the word "bit" and the "e" from "bet". They are played one phoneme followed by two more examples, and asked which one 【C6】______ the first sound. As the game 【C7】______, the phonemes are gradually changed to make them more and more 【C8】______, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between them. With 44 phonemes in English, there are 【C9】______ more than 1,000 different pairs, but the game 【C10】______on just 22 pairs of the commonest and most similar- sounding phonemes.
【C2】
选项
答案B
解析 空格位于不定冠词an后，故空格填入以元音开头的单数名同。词库中aid和incentive可作为备选。下半句中it指代the game，意为“最近的试验也表明这个游戏可以帮助任何儿童(help any child)”，空格需填入与help相对应的词，词库中aid“辅助手段”符合语义，故选B。这款游戏主要是帮助孩子辨音．不是激励学习的手段，故排除incentive“刺激，鼓励”。
