问题     If you have heart problems, you might want to plug in that iPod or pop in a CD of mellow songs. Hospital patients with coronary heart disease(冠心病) 【C1】______their heart rates, breathing rate and blood pressure just by listening to music, a Temple University review of 23【C2】______studies found.
    The report, published in the latest issue of The Cochrane Library, found that the soothing effects were greatest when these patients chose their own【C3】______. For example, patients’ pulse rates fell by more beats per minute when they made the selections【C4】______with those who listened to music selected by researchers.
    "So we do know from experience that if people select music they like, and the music has sedative【C5】______such as slow tempo, predictable harmonies and【C6】______of sudden changes, they will be better able to relax to the music," said researcher Joke Bradt, assistant director of the Arts and Quality of Life Research Center at Temple University. The review looked at past studies on how music affected 1,461 patients with coronary heart disease, either during a cardiac procedure or within two days of hospitalization. In all the studies, the music used had slow tempos, but in some cases, a music therapist was【C7】______to help with the song selections.
    Dr. Robert Bonow, a past president of the American Heart Association,【C8】______the findings. While【C9】______that alleviating stress is important for heart patients, he said the new review shows " no conclusive【C10】______that this relaxation therapy actually reduces the stress, let alone reducing the outcome of the stress. "
A)absence B)agreeing C)capabilities D)challenged
E)clinical F)compared G)employed H)evidence
I)pace J)previous K)physical L)qualities
M)reduced N)tunes O)weakened
【C8】
选项
答案D
解析 空格前为主语Dr．RobertBonow及其同位语，后为名词findings，故该空格应填入及物动词。下句提到“并没有确凿证据证明这种放松疗法确实能减轻压力，更不用说减轻压力的效果如何了”，由此可以推断，此处想表达Dr．Robert Bonow“质疑”这个结果，故D)challenged符合题意。
