To master the violin takes 10,000 hours of practice. Put in that time and【C1】________will follow. This, at least, is what many music teachers tell their pupils. Psychologists are more【C2】________. Some agree practice truly is the thing that【C3】________experts from beginners, but others suspect genes play a role, too, and that【C4】________the right genetic make-up even 20,000 hours of practice would be pointless. A study just published in Psychological Science, by Miriam Mosing of the Karolinska Institute, in Sweden, suggests that the skeptics are【C5】________. Practicing music without the right genes to【C6】________that practice up is【C7】________useless.
Dr Mosing drew her【C8】________in a time-honored way—by studying twins. She and her colleagues【C9】________1,211 pairs of identical twins (who share all their genes) and 1,358 pairs of fraternal twins (who share half). They asked each participant【C10】________he or she played a musical instrument or actively【C11】________singing. Those who did were asked to【C12】________how many hours a week they had practiced at different ages. From this Dr Mosing was able to calculate a【C13】________for each individual’s lifetime practice. Anyone who did not play an instrument or sing got no point.
Next, Dr Mosing tested her volunteers’ musical abilities. Expert musicians are exceptionally good at【C14】________differences in pitch, melody and rhythm. She therefore expected to find that if someone had put in【C15】________practice time his musical ability would be as high as an expert’s. But that was not true. In fact, there appeared to be no【C16】________between practice and musical ability of the sort she was measuring. A twin who practiced more than his genetically identical co-twin did not appear to have better musical abilities as a result. In one case the difference between two such twins was 20,228 hours of practice,【C17】________the pair’s measured musical abilities were found to be the same.
That is not to say practice has no【C18】________. Playing an instrument and singing are physical skills, and do take a long time to【C19】________. And Dr Mosing has shown that musical ability has a big genetic【C20】________.
【C12】
选项
A、imagine
B、estimate
C、dictate
D、prove
答案
B
解析
空格后的how many hours…被调查者被询问的内容。被调查者的记性再好,也不可能准确地记住以前不同年龄段的练习时间,故B项estimate“估计”符合常理和逻辑,代入后指研究者问及他们大致的练习时间。该项研究要调查双胞胎的练习时间,就应根据他们的实际情况而不是凭借他们所想象(A项imagine)的数据来作参考。C项dictate“口述”代入后说明被调查者采用口头回答的形式来完成调查,缺乏相应的语义依据。被调查者在研究中只需要提供数据,而不用去证明自己数据的真实性,故D项prove“证明”不符合常理。
