Neurologist(神经学家)Gregory Berns and economics research specialist Sara Moore have discovered there’s some science【C1】_____that phenomenon.
Their study, published in the June 8th【C2】_____of the Journal of Consumer Psychology, found that the strength of brain activity in teenagers could【C3】_____which songs would sell 20, 000 copies.【C4】_____, the lab found that 90% of songs that received a weak neural(神经的)response sold【C5】_____than 20, 000 copies.
Berns and Moore found this connection【C6】_____having a group of 27 teenagers aged 12-17—who make【C7】_____20% of music consumers—listen to 120 songs from unsigned artists, while fMRI(功能性磁共振成像) 【C8】_____their neural responses. Listeners also rated each song on a【C9】_____of 1-5, but how much teenagers liked certain songs did not【C10】_____future song sales.
In【C11】_____, the original purpose of this project was to study【C12】_____peer pressure(同龄人的压力)influences teenagers’ opinions. But three years later, when Berns heard American Idol contestant Kris Allen sing Apologize by One Republic—a song used in the study—he started to【C13】_____whether his group could have predicted that song’s success. So he compared the earlier neural data to sales【C14】_____of the songs from 2007 to 2010, and found that the neural data did seem to【C15】_____how popular they would become.
This pop music experiment is just the beginning in Berns’ broader【C16】_____to better understand how cultural trends【C17】_____.
"I want to know where ideas come from, and why some of them become popular and【C18】_____don’t. It’s ideas and the way that we think that determines the【C19】_____of human history.【C20】_____, I’m trying to predict history, " Berns said in a press release.
【C10】
选项
A、compare
B、compensate
C、match
D、maintain
答案
C
解析
动词辨析题。根据句首的but,确定本句句意的转折。前文介绍运用实验预测歌曲销量,那么本句要表达的则是一些特定歌曲的实验结果和其真实销量并不相符,因此。答案为match“与(某物)相配”。
