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.
【C12】
选项 A、pairs
B、bands
C、lots
D、parts
答案A
解析 词汇线索题。根据下文中提到的“i”和“e”的发音，可知这是成对的音素(pairs of phonemes)，故A正确。末段末句也出现pairs，根据词义复现原则也可知本题应选A。其他三项均不符句意。
