【C1】
选项 A、note
B、notion
C、notice
D、notification
答案B
解析 上下文语义题。此处填入advanced“提出”的宾语，说明一项小型研究提出了什么，空格后为that引导的同位语从句，补充说明宾语的具体内容。该同位语从句“听莫扎特的《D大调双钢琴奏鸣曲》可以促进大脑机能”体现的是一种见解，因此填入的词需能概括此内容，B项notion“观念”最贴切，可以表示一种看法，符合句意。A项note“笔记”、C项notice“公告”和D项notification“通知”均不能和动词advanced“提出”构成语义通顺的动宾搭配，且三者均不能概括空格后that引导的同位语从句的内容。
