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

【C18】
选项
A、prefer
B、proceed
C、process
D、predict
答案
C
解析
上下文语义题。空格处填入动词,说明乐器训练帮助大脑怎样——声音。逗号后面的结果状语making it easier to stay focused“使之更容易集中注意力”及下文提到的“擅长音乐的人在隔壁办公室的同事对着下属尖叫时,仍能给客户打完电话”体现的均是人们对吵杂声音的免疫能力,由此推断乐器训练有助于更好地应对声音,C项process“处理”填入文中表示“更好地处理声音”,符合语义。A项prefer“更喜欢”填入文中表示“帮助大脑更喜欢声音”,虽然语义通顺,但和后文提及的“在吵闹的环境中能专注”内容衔接突兀。B项proceed“前进”和D项predict“预言”填入文中分别表示“帮助大脑更好地使声音前进”、“帮助大脑更好地预言声音”,二者语义、逻辑皆不通。
