问题     A simple computer program that teaches children to distinguish between sounds can dramatically【C1】______ their listening skills. It can allow them to progress by the【C2】______ of two years in just a few weeks, the game’s creator claims.
    The game, called Phonomena, was【C3】______ by David Moore of the University of Oxford, UK, as a(n)【C4】______ for children with language problems, but he says his latest【C5】______ also show that it can help any child. Other experts,【C6】______, are reserving judgement until independent tests are【C7】______.
    Phonomena is designed to【C8】______ children’s ability to distinguish between different phonemes, the basic sounds that form the building【C9】______ of language. Up to a fifth of all children【C10】______ thought to have problems【C11】______ 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【C12】______ of phonemes such as the "i" sound from the word "bit" and the "e" from "bet". They are played one phoneme【C13】______ by two more examples, and asked which one【C14】______ the first sound.【C15】______ the game progresses the phonemes are gradually "morphed" to make them more and more【C16】______, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between them.
    【C17】______ 44 phonemes in English, there are【C18】______ more than 1,000 different pairs, but the game【C19】______ on just 22 pairs of the【C20】______ and most similar-sounding phonemes.
【C8】
选项 A、improve
B、proceed
C、speed
D、hasten
答案A
解析 语义逻辑题。设计这种正音系统是为了“提高”或“矫正”儿童的语音能力，A项improve"改善，改进”符合句意。proceed“进行，继续下去，发生”，不能与ability搭配；speed“加快，飞跑”和hasten“催促，赶紧，加速”不符合句意。
