选项 _________64
A:styles
B:disabilities
C:interests
D:approaches

答案B

解析前一句提到音乐训练可以提高沟通技巧和改善语言障碍,可见他们发现的应该是提升音乐技能与学习说话有着相同的(same)大脑活动过程。the same as…与……相同。unique独特的;different不同的;strange奇怪的。
这项发现应该能够帮助在学习上有障碍的儿童。help帮助;tell告诉;remind提醒;entertain娱乐。
这个句子的意思是:她说音乐训练与整合不同的信息相关,比如聆听音乐、看音符、触碰乐器,以及观察其他音乐演奏者等。shape塑造;relate关于;enhance加强,增强。只有 involve能够表示“涉及,与……相关”的意思。
空格前一句讲的是音乐训练的过程,因此应该选择能表示过程的词汇,即D项。form 形式;step步骤;point观点;process过程。
结合语境可知,本篇文章讲的是音乐训练与学习说话之间的关系,因此选择C项。play 玩耍;sing歌唱;speak说话;think思考。
pass through是常用表达,意思是“经过,通过”的意思,用在空格处表明说话和音乐都通过脑干这个神经系统组织。没有use through这个短语。look through仔细查阅;put through 完成。
由常识及语境可知,大脑控制着我们讲话的能力。develop发展,开发;control控制; assess评判;observe观察,遵守。
空格前一句表明专家的观点,认为脑干不能被改善或改变;空格后一句表明Krauss及其团队的观点,即音乐训练可以改善脑干活动。两者是转折关系,故选择转折连词but。
这个研究涉及的应该是具有不同音乐能力的个人。instrument乐器;ability能力;type 类型;contact接触。本篇文章并没有对乐器和音乐类型进行探讨。
根据上文可知,音乐训练与学习说话涉及相同的大脑活动过程,由此可知这些电子设备观测的是大脑活动。physical体力的;musical音乐的;speech演讲,说话;brain大脑。
similar to的意思是“与……相似”,是英语中的习惯表达。
这个句子的意思是:人们接受音乐训练的时间越长,他们对音乐的声音和节奏就会越敏感。familiar熟悉的;inactive不活跃的;critical讽刺的,批判的;sensitive敏感的。
这个句子的意思是:那些接受过音乐训练的人在感官测试中取得的进步也最大。re-duction减少;improvement改善,提升;interference干扰;implication蕴含。
第一段最后一句提到,音乐训练能够帮助在学习上有障碍的儿童,因此选择B项。style 风格;disability残疾,无能;interest兴趣;approach方法,通道。
空格前表示的是利用音乐改善听力,选项中表示听见的hear与听力相关。read阅读; write写;hear听见;change改变。
