   In a lab in Oxford University’s experimental psychology department, researcher Roi Cohen Ka-dosh is testing a relatively new brain-stimulation technique which may help people learn and improve their understanding of math concepts.
   The electrodes (电极)are placed in a tightly fitted cap and worn around the head. The device, run off a 9-volt battery commonly used in smoke detectors, induces only a 【C1】______ current and can be targeted to 【C2】______ areas of the brain or applied generally. The mild current reduces the risk of side effects, which has opened up 【C3】______ about using it, even in individuals without a disorder, as a general cognitive enhancer. Scientists also are 【C4】______ its use to treat mood disorders and other conditions.
   Dr. Cohen Kadosh’s pioneering work on learning enhancement and brain stimulation is one example of the long journey faced by scientists studying brain-stimulation and cognitive-stimulation techniques. Like other researchers in the community, he has dealt with public concerns about safety and side effects, plus 【C5】______ from other scientists about whether these findings would hold in the wider population.
   There are also 【C6】______ questions about the technique. If it 【C7】______ works to enhance cognitive performance, should it be accessible to anyone who can afford to buy the device—which already is available for sale in the U.S.? Should parents be able to 【C8】______ such stimulation on their kids without monitoring? "It’s early days but that hasn’t 【C9】______ some companies from selling the device and marketing it as a learning tool," Dr. Cohen Kadosh says. "Be very careful." However, if the technique continues to show promise, "this type of method may have a 【C10】______ to be the new drug of the 21st century," says Dr. Cohen Kadosh.
【C10】
选项
答案C
解析 空格位于不定冠词a后，可知空格填入单数名词，词库中chance和reputation可作为备选。由上一句的promise“(成功的)希望”可知，作者的态度是积极正向的，chance填入空格，意为“那么这样一种疗法可能有机会成为21世纪的新药”，句意通顺，故选C。reputation通常用于have a reputation for／of sth．“因……获得盛名”，这个技术还未实现，讲reputation为时尚早，从语义上也可排除。
