Nearly 20 years ago, a small study advanced the【C1】________that listening to Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major could boost mental functioning. It was not long【C2】________trademarked "Mozart effect’ products began to appeal to anxious parents aiming to put little kids【C3】________the fast track to prestigious universities like Harvard and Yale.

【C20】
选项 A、for
B、but
C、or
D、so
答案C
解析 语义逻辑题。此处空格前后均是句子，故应填入关系词说明前后句子的逻辑关系。“在嘈杂的生物课上能够更好地________”与“几年后，当在隔壁办公室的同事开始对下属尖叫时，能够给客户打完电话”是同一背景(吵闹)下的两种不同情形，应为并列关系，故选C项or，表示“或者”。A项for作连词用时，意为“因为”，表原因。B项but表转折。D项so作连词单独使用时，通常表结果。这三项均无法表达并列选择的关系，均可排除。
