选项
A、unless
B、before
C、until
D、since
答案
B
解析
语义逻辑题兼考查固定搭配。上一句提到一项小型研究提出“听莫扎特的《D大调双钢琴奏鸣曲》可以促进大脑机能”,此处空格后又提及“印有‘莫扎特效应’商标的产品开始吸引那些焦急的父母”。从语义上讲。前者应该发生在前,才有后者的产生。英语中有一个常用表达:It was not long before sth. happened,表示“不久后就发生了某事”,B项符合文中语义。A项unless意为“除非”,表条件,引导条件状语从句。C项until“直到……才”和D项since“自从”虽也可表时间,但二者引导时间状语从句侧重指一个时间段,无法体现文中前后句子动作发生的先后顺序。
