Music produces profound and lasting changes in the brain. Schools should add music classes, not cut them.

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.

【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。
