选项
A、object
B、attention
C、impulse
D、effort
答案
D
解析
上下文语义题。此处是讲科学家检验音乐的好处(the benefits)。空格后的不定式短语to study and practice music“学习和练习音乐”和to playing a Mozart CD or…in a while“偶尔播放一张莫扎特CD或……”是两种不同的情形,从study and practice与play、in a while可看出,前者作出的努力要比后者大。根据这一语境,D项effort“努力”填入文中最贴切。表示“一致努力学习和练习音乐的好处”。A项object“目标”填入文中表示“科学家检验过以学习和练习音乐为共同目标的好处”,其中“共同目标”这一说法缺乏上下文语境。空格前的concerted“一致的”通常侧重于指一群人共同努力做某事,故不适宜用来修饰B项attention“注意力”。D项impulse“冲动”填入文中构成impulse to do sth. ,表示“做某事的冲动”。
