26、是介词,要考虑句意和搭配。根据空格后的专有名词“theMozart effect”(莫扎特效应),推断前面应填能表示“称为”之义的短语。refer to as 意为“称为,把称作”,符合句意,故选 A 项。(2).【B2】(分数:2.00)A.ForB.As C.DespiteD.Unlike解析:解析:关联词题,考查句子间的逻辑关系。空格处缺少的是引导从句的连词,每日电讯报本周早前报道的内容与其后 the findings的情况是一致的,故这里填入表示“正如,像”的连词符合句意,选 B 项。(3).【B3】(分数:2.00)A.aspiredB.prompted C.discouragedD
27、.promoted解析:解析:语义逻辑题,考查词义辨析。填入的动词与其后的 inspired 和 encouraged 并列(见难句 2分析),第一段说听莫扎特的音乐可以让孩子在测试中表现更好,因此,这句话要说的是,这个发现会“促使”父母和育婴室纷纷为婴儿们(their little ones)播放曲目,B 项正确。(4).【B4】(分数:2.00)A.artsB.works C.compositionD.inspiration解析:解析:语义逻辑题,考查词义辨析。空格处所缺词是由 the composer“s 修饰的,前文一直提到的都是作曲家的音乐。也就是他们的作品。因此,选 B 项。(5)
28、.【B5】(分数:2.00)A.expandingB.enlighteningC.disapprovingD.expecting 解析:解析:语义逻辑题,考查词义辨析。空格处所缺的是修饰 moms 的形容词。关键词是句子后半部分出现的 their bellies(他们的肚子)。既然要把耳机放在肚子上,那么这里提到的肯定是孕妇。四个选项中只有 D 项符合句意。(6).【B6】(分数:2.00)A.sinceB.everC.even D.yet解析:解析:语义逻辑题。跳过此空格读句子,句子是通的,可知此处需要的是一个表程度的副词。前文说到鼓励孕妇将音乐通过耳机往肚子上输送,下文则说鼓励佐治亚州,范
29、围由小及大,可判断两句间是递进的关系,C 项符合题意。(7).【B7】(分数:2.00)A.inB.out C.upD.to解析:解析:考查固定搭配。空格处所缺的词要和 give 组成短语,而这个短语的宾语是 free CDs;另外一个解题关键是这个句子后半部分出现的 to new parents,这是 free CDs 的去向,由此可以判断,空格处所缺词和 give 要组成表示“发放,赠送”的意义。只有 B 项 give out 有此意。(8).【B8】(分数:2.00)A.althoughB.evenC.despite D.devoid解析:解析:考查语义逻辑。Yet(表转折)一词表明 c
30、ritics(批评家)与 the board(大众)持不同意见,空格处应填入表示“尽管”、表让步的词,选 C 项。(9).【B9】(分数:2.00)A.alreadyB.foreverC.hardlyD.long 解析:解析:语义逻辑题。连词 Yet 表明批评家的意见与大众相反,前文所说大众 embrace(广泛接受)该理论,可以判断出这句话应该说批评家对此持否定或怀疑的态度。wonder 有疑问之意,故副词要选有肯定含义的D 正确。(10).【B10】(分数:2.00)A.numeratedB.preservedC.ranked D.stuffed解析:解析:语义逻辑题,考查词义辨析。num

32、的对象 40 studies,由于这 40份研究都是前人所做,因此,心理学家只能回顾或者考查这些研究成果,选 C 项。(13).【B13】(分数:2.00)A.actually B.directlyC.continuallyD.gradually解析:解析:语义逻辑题。上文一直在讨论听莫扎特音乐的效果,而这个段落讨论的是对这些效果的科学研究。空格处所缺词是副词,因此要弄清这句话的意思:维也纳的心理学家没有找到听莫扎特的音乐_让人变得更聪明的证据。只有填入 A 项符合句意。(14).【B14】(分数:2.00)A.harmonyB.silence C.cooperationD.recovery解
33、析:解析:语义逻辑题,考查词义辨析。根据难句 2 的分析,两个 who 引导的定语从句之间隐含对比关系,前一个 who 表明在“听音乐”的环境下,那么后者则应为“安静”的环境,选 B 项。此外,根据第一段的内容也可再次确定答案为 B 项。(15).【B15】(分数:2.00)A.thatB.whether C.whatD.if解析:解析:固定搭配题。答对此题的关键是 or,而只有 whether 可以和 or 连用,表示“是还是,不管还是”。(16).【B16】(分数:2.00)A.reckoningB.socializingC.fasteningD.reinforcing 解析:解析:语义逻
34、辑题,考查词义辨析。根据 notion(观点)后面的同位语从句可知,这一观点与前文说到的观点(无论听谁的音乐都有同样的效果)是一致的,故这里填入表示“进一步证实,加强”等意义的词才符合句意,D 项为答案。(17).【B17】(分数:2.00)A.devotesB.contributes C.oppositesD.translates解析:解析:语义逻辑题,考查固定搭配。空格前的 that 引导定语从句修饰 external stimulus其中that 是从句的主语,指代 external stimulus(外界刺激)。该句大意为“是外界刺激帮助人们取得优秀表现”,contribute to
35、意为“有助于”,符合句意。(18).【B18】(分数:2.00)A.enjoyment B.instructionC.inquiryD.extraction解析:解析:语义逻辑题,考查词义辨析。前文已论证了“莫扎特音乐有助于推理测试”是不成立的,此处研究者认为,若把听莫扎特当成是一种纯娱乐,是没有问题的。此外,根据常识,听音乐本身就是一种娱乐,也可以确定 A 项为答案。(19).【B19】(分数:2.00)A.demandB.recommend C.adviseD.require解析:解析:语义逻辑题,考查词义辨析。空格处所缺动词的宾语是 everyone,其补语是 listen to Moz
36、art。故推测此处空格应填表示“推荐,建议”等意义的词。只有 B 项符合句意。(20).【B20】(分数:2.00)A.idealizeB.damageC.conflictD.improve 解析:解析:语义逻辑题,考查词义辨析。根据前文所述,我们知道,有人认为听莫扎特的音乐可以帮助我们在测试中表现更好。因此,这里应填表示“提高,促进”等意义的词,D 项符合句意。Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity.
