问题     Music produces profound and lasting changes in the brain. Schools should add music classes, not cut them. 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.

【C5】
选项 A、turned up
B、turned out
C、turned in
D、turned down
答案B
解析 语义逻辑题。空格处应填入谓语动词，说明主语the evidence和to be weak之间的关系。该句子中，although引导的让步状语从句指出“尽管研究只是说莫扎特音乐疗法的效果是短暂而有限的”，这是研究对音乐的作用所作的一种结论。although所体现的转折让步关系说明主句中的evidence是要表明Mozart therapy的实际作用。B项turn out“结果是”，以引出某种结果。A项turn up“出现”通常指人或事物主动显现，而evidence是需要人为操作的，故语义不符。C项turn in“上交”和D项turn down“拒绝”的施动者往往是人，填入句中与空格前后的内容均不能构成通顺的语义。
