   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.
【C8】
选项
答案O
解析 空格前make和more and more提示空格填入形容词，构成“make+sth．+adj.”的结构。根据making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between them可推断，只有音素越来越相似，分辨的难度才会加大，词库中similar“相似的”符合语义，故选O。complicated为强干扰项，但音素变得复杂并不代表分辨难度大，故排除complicated。
