【C17】
选项
A、urgent
B、casual
C、solemn
D、diligent
答案
D
解析
上下文语义题。此处是讲乐器训练的好处,空格处填入形容词修饰instrument training。上一段也提及了科学家发现音乐的好处,且段首提及了“每天下午练习一小时小提琴”,这种练习是需要努力坚持的。根据上文这一语境,结合此处空格后面的from an early age“从小”和Call help…(表明这种训练起到的积极作用),推断这里应该是指下功夫努力地training,所填之词需含有“努力”之意,D项diligent“勤奋的”符合句意。A项urgent“紧急的,急迫的”强调时间的紧迫性。和时间短语from an early age相矛盾。B项casual “漫不经心的;随便的”表示专注度不高,这样的训练无法起到好的效果,无法跟下文的can help…吻合。C项solemn“庄严的;神圣的”不宜用来修饰training。
