Neurologist(神经学家)Gregory Berns and economics research specialist Sara Moore have discovered there’s some science【C1】_____that phenomenon.
Their study, published in the June 8th【C2】_____of the Journal of Consumer Psychology, found that the strength of brain activity in teenagers could【C3】_____which songs would sell 20, 000 copies.【C4】_____, the lab found that 90% of songs that received a weak neural(神经的)response sold【C5】_____than 20, 000 copies.
Berns and Moore found this connection【C6】_____having a group of 27 teenagers aged 12-17—who make【C7】_____20% of music consumers—listen to 120 songs from unsigned artists, while fMRI(功能性磁共振成像) 【C8】_____their neural responses. Listeners also rated each song on a【C9】_____of 1-5, but how much teenagers liked certain songs did not【C10】_____future song sales.
In【C11】_____, the original purpose of this project was to study【C12】_____peer pressure(同龄人的压力)influences teenagers’ opinions. But three years later, when Berns heard American Idol contestant Kris Allen sing Apologize by One Republic—a song used in the study—he started to【C13】_____whether his group could have predicted that song’s success. So he compared the earlier neural data to sales【C14】_____of the songs from 2007 to 2010, and found that the neural data did seem to【C15】_____how popular they would become.
This pop music experiment is just the beginning in Berns’ broader【C16】_____to better understand how cultural trends【C17】_____.
"I want to know where ideas come from, and why some of them become popular and【C18】_____don’t. It’s ideas and the way that we think that determines the【C19】_____of human history.【C20】_____, I’m trying to predict history, " Berns said in a press release.
【C14】
选项
A、figures
B、fractions
C、features
D、faculty
答案
A
解析
名词辨析题。本句指出,他将此前的神经反应资料与2007年至2010年的歌曲销售——进行对比。其中,sales——,与前文sell 20,000 copies和下文的how popular they would become对应,所以figure“数字,数据”,最符合文意。
