A 1993 study showing that students who did reasoning tests while listening to the 1781 Sonata for Two Pianos in D by Mozart tended to outperform those who did so in a silent room launched a widespread belief in what is commonly referred to【B1】______"the Mozart effect." 【B2】______the Telegraph reported earlier this week, the findings【B3】______parents and childcare centers to play the composer"s【B4】______for their little ones, inspired【B5】______moms to pump Mozart"s music through headphones on their bellies, and【B6】______encouraged the state of Georgia to give【B7】______free CDs of the composer"s work to new parents. Yet【B8】______the broad embrace of the theory, critics have【B9】______wondered if it has any actual merit As the AFP reports, the "Mozart effect" is【B10】______number six in the 2009 book 50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology. And a new inquiry from researchers in Vienna【B11】______with the skeptics: in a【B12】______of 40 studies including some 3,000 people, psychologists at Vienna University found no evidence that listening to Mozart【B13】______makes people smarter. They did find that people who listened to music while completing reasoning tests performed better than those who took the tests in【B14】______—but that was true【B15】______they were listening to Mozart, Bach or Pearl Jam, the AFP reports,【B16】______the notion that it"s external stimulus that【B17】______to improved performance, not Mozart. Of course, researchers still encouraged people to listen to Mozart—if for nothing more than pure【B18】______. As investigator Jakob Pietschnig told the AFP: "I【B19】______everyone listen to Mozart, but it"s not going to【B20】______cognitive abilities as some people hope."

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】解析：语义逻辑题，考查介词的用法。空格处所缺的是介词，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。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】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。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】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……，范围由小及大，可判断两句间是递进的关系，C项符合题意。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】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。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】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。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】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。
