Music produces profound and lasting changes in the brain. Schools should add music classes, not cut them. Nearly 20 years ago, a small study advanced the【C1】______that listening to Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major could boost mental functioning. It was not long【C2】______trademarked "Mozart effect" products began to appeal to anxious parents aiming to put toddlers (刚学步的孩子) 【C3】______the fast track to prestigious universities like Harvard and Yale. Georgia’s governor even【C4】______giving every newborn there a classical CD or cassette.
The【C5】______for Mozart therapy turned out to be weak, perhaps nonexistent, although the 【C6】______study never claimed anything more than a temporary and limited effect. In recent years, 【C7】______. scientists have examined the benefits of a concerted【C8】______to study and practice music, as【C9】______to playing a Mozart CD or a computer-based "brain fitness" game【C10】______in a while.

They can attend to several things at once in the mental scratch pad called working memory, an essential skill in this era of multitasking.
【C17】
选项
A、urgent
B、casual
C、solemn
D、diligent
答案
D
解析
语义衔接题。四个选项中能修饰instrument training(乐器训练)的是diligent“勤奋的”,且“勤奋的乐器训练对大脑有帮助”也与上文已经提到过的科学家的观点“持续认真地(concerted)学习和练习音乐有好处”相一致,故答案为[D]diligent“勤奋的”。diligent与concerted近义。[B]casual“随意的”与此处语义相反。[A]urgent意为“紧急的”。[C]solemn“严肃的”指的是人的面部表情严肃。
