问题     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."
【B9】

选项 A、already
B、forever
C、hardly
D、long

答案D

解析 语义逻辑题。连词Yet表明批评家的意见与大众相反,前文所说大众embrace(广泛接受)该理论,可以判断出这句话应该说批评家对此持否定或怀疑的态度。wonder有疑问之意,故副词要选有肯定含义的.D正确。
