3、ointless. 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 wayby studying twins. She

In fact, there appeared to be no【C16】_between practice and musical ability of the sort she was measuring. A twin who practiced
7、 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 pairs measured musical abilities were found to be the same. That is not to say practice has no【C18】_. Pla

31、为will follow 是 Put in that time的结果。上句的表明，花1万个小时来拉小提琴(Put in that time 所指代的事情)，就能学会小提琴。B 项 expertise“专长”可指“会拉小提琴”这项音乐技能，与 master呼应。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.radicalB.knowledgeableC.dependableD.skeptical 解析：解析：从下文 Some，but others suspect可知，心理学家并不都赞同“花 1万个小时的练习就能学好拉小提琴”的观点。D 项 skeptical“怀疑的”可对应下句的 suspect。(3)
32、.【C3】（分数：2.00）A.separates B.keepsC.detachesD.guarantees解析：解析：agree 表明一部分心理学家同意上述观点。A 项 separates能与 from搭配，意为“区别，分开”，代入后表明练习确实能将专家从新手中区分开来。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.exceptB.despiteC.without D.behind解析：解析：genes play a role，too 表明了基因的影响作用。结合空格后的 even 20,000 hours of practice would be pointless(即便是练习 2万个小时也无济于
33、事)可知，若没有合适的遗传基因，练习再多也没有用。故 C项 without“没有”。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.cleverB.right C.wrongD.stupid解析：解析：第二段最后一句谈到“没有优良的遗传基因，练习就没有用处”，与上文怀疑论者(skeptics)的设想是一致的。故 B项 right能满足句子的语义要求，排除 C项。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.back B.warmC.clearD.link解析：解析：A 项 back作动词用时常与 up搭配使用，意为“支持”，代入后 the right genes tothat practice up 意为“能促
34、进音乐技能练习的优良基因”，满足空格的逻辑和搭配。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.soB.eitherC.quiteD.indeed 解析：解析：倒数第二段的研究结果表明，一个人进行了足够多的练习并不能(that was not true)达到专家那样高的音乐水准。可见没有音乐细胞再怎么练习的确是无用的。D 项 indeed“的确，确实”常用于强调或肯定上文已经出现过的观点，符合要求。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.attentionB.assumptionC.conclusion D.distinction解析：解析：句中 in a time-honored wayby stud
35、ying twins涉及 Mosing在此项研究中采用的方法。通过此研究方法，Mosing 才能得出相关的结论，故推断所需名词有“结论”之意。C 项 conclusion“结论”满足句子的逻辑要求。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.surveyed B.observedC.checkedD.examined解析：解析：上句表明 Mosing的研究对象是双胞胎(twins)，具体来说就是空格后的 identical twins(同卵双胞胎)和 fraternal twins(异卵双胞胎)，推断填入的动词与上句 studying语义相近。A 项surveyed“调查，问卷调查”符合语义。(10
36、).【C10】（分数：2.00）A.howB.whyC.whether D.where解析：解析：根据下句 Those who did及本段最后一句 Anyone who did not可知，并不是所有人都懂乐器。推断研究者首先询问被调查者是否会乐器，选 C项 whether。(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）A.exposed toB.concerned aboutC.engaged in D.connected with解析：解析：or 前面的内容与乐器相关，指“会演奏乐器”，故推断与 singing有关的活动是“唱歌”，因为它们属于“音乐才能”的范畴。C 项 engaged in“参
37、与，从事”可与 singing搭配，表示积极参与唱歌活动。(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）A.imagineB.estimate C.dictateD.prove解析：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。(13).【C13】（分数：2.00）A.percentageB.costC.profitD.score 解析：解析：根据下句“没有学习过乐器或者唱歌的人没有分数(got no point)”的语义，可推测M
38、osing依据这些调查内容，计算出每个人一生总共练习的时间并据此给出分数。故 D项 score符合语义要求和搭配习惯。(14).【C14】（分数：2.00）A.recordingB.revisingC.detecting D.researching解析：解析：空格所在句的主语是 Expert musicians(内行的音乐家)，故其后的内容 differences in pitch都是他们擅长的事。C 项 detecting“察觉，识别”正确。(15).【C15】（分数：2.00）A.scientificB.enjoyableC.inspiringD.sufficient 解析：解析：首段提到
39、，心理学家假设的另一情况是：如果没有音乐细胞，再多的练习也是徒劳。故应推断在研究中，Mosing 确认被调查者现有的音乐技能之后，还需考察增加练习时间是否会提高被调查者的音乐技能。D 项 sufficient“足够的”代入后句意为“是否一个人进行了足够多的练习就能达到专家那样高的音乐水准”，这是 Mosing想要研究的问题，符合语篇和逻辑要求。(16).【C16】（分数：2.00）A.relationship B.variationC.interactionD.boundary解析：解析：下句指出一位练习更长时间的测试者并没有因此而比他的同卵双胞胎具有更出色的音乐才能，可见音乐才能与练习之间并
40、没有内在的联系，选 A项 relationship“联系”。(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）A.so thatB.even though C.now thatD.even if解析：解析：该句表明，练习者练习时间相差 20228小时，但音乐才能却相同(the same)。可见空格前后分句间存在一定的转折关系，故 B项 even though“尽管”。(18).【C18】（分数：2.00）A.value B.prospectC.directionD.efficiency解析：解析：下句指出演奏乐器和唱歌都是身体技能，要花费很长时间，do take a long time 的强调句型是对练习
41、时间的作用予以肯定，故推断空格所在句欲说明练习也有一定的用处。A 项 value“价值”代入后句子语义符合常理和语篇要求。(19).【C19】（分数：2.00）A.evaluateB.demonstrateC.master D.prepare解析：解析：空格前提到演奏乐器和唱歌是 physical skills(身体技能)，要经过长时间才能学会或掌握。故 C项 master“掌握”符合逻辑要求。(20).【C20】（分数：2.00）A.influenceB.consequenceC.opponentD.component 解析：解析：空格前 genetic一词是文中 genes的形容词形式，故
42、 that引导的宾语从句仍说明 musical ability与基因的联系，该句的语义和逻辑应与 Mosing的研究结论一致。D 项 component“构件，组成”表明音乐才能的组成部分中很大一部分是遗传基因。Big companies swallow little ones every day. So the【C1】_on March 25th by Yahoo (annual revenue, $5 billion) of Summly, a British start-up (annual revenue, zero), for a reported $30m would normal
