大学英语六级改革适用（阅读）模拟试卷635
词汇理解
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 before trademarked \\
1.【C1】
F
解析：空格前的the表明此处需要名词。根据空格后的that从句“听莫扎特的《D大调双钢琴奏鸣曲》可以促进大脑机能”，可知这应该是某种看法，notion“概念，想法”符合句意逻辑。
2.【C2】
C
解析：此处需填入谓语动词，时态上应与上下文一样为过去时。前面说听音乐对孩子有好处，本句说“佐治亚州州长……给该州每一个新生儿发一张古典音乐CD或磁带”，由此可知政府的态度应是积极的。proposed“建议”可用于doing sth. 结构，意思上也符合语义逻辑。submitted也有“建议，主张”之意，但后面一般接that从句，不接动名词。
3.【C3】
I
解析：此处需填入形容词、分词或名词，修饰名词study“研究”。although表明前后两个分句问是转折对比关系，前文提到莫扎特音乐疗法的证据最终被认为是很单薄的，或许根本不存在，本句用although对比转折说，……的研究只不过声称它的效果是短暂而有限的。original“最初的，原始的”与turned out“证明”形成对比，符合语义逻辑，故正确。
4.【C4】
N
解析：as表明此处需填入形容语或分词，与to构成搭配。as opposed to是固定搭配，表示“与……对照之下，而非”，用在这里表示“而不是偶尔播放一张莫扎特CD或玩玩电脑上的‘益智’游戏”。
5.【C5】
L
解析：此处需填入句子主语，由advanced“先进的”和monitoring“监测”修饰，根据助动词have可知是名词的复数形式。本句提到，先进的监测……已能使科学家们看到，当你听从了妈妈的话并确实每天下午练习一小时的小提琴时，你的大脑里会发生什么。techniques“技术，技巧”符合语境。
6.【C6】
H
解析：此处需填入修饰changes的that引导的定语从句的谓语动词，宾语为ability。空格前说音乐课可以产生深刻而持续的变化，enhance“提升”符合语境，表示这些变化会提升你的基本学习能力。
7.【C7】
E
解析：should表明此处需填入动词原形。本段第1—2句提到音乐的积极作用。convince“说服。使相信”，常用于convince sb. of sth. 或convince sb. that。符合句子要求。表示这有助于令政府官员相信，学校的音乐课不只是装饰。
8.【C8】
B
解析：空格前的that是修饰crises的定语从句引导词，空格后的trouble为从句谓语动词，故需填入副词。constantly“不断地”填入空格后，表示“不断困扰公立学校的预算危机”，符合语义逻辑。
9.【C9】
K
解析：此处需填入名词instrument training (乐器训练)的修饰成分。结合后面的from an early age，可知乐器训练要从小开始，还要勤奋地练习，故选diligent\\
10.【C10】
D
解析：空格前的help…to表明此处需填入动词原形。后文提到擅长音乐的人能同时做几件事，由此可知乐器训练有助于更好地process“处理”声音。

The Three-Year Solution
[A] Hartwick College, a small liberal-arts school in upstate New York, makes this offer to well-prepared students: earn your undergraduate degree in three years instead of four, and save about $43,000—the amount of one year\’s tuition and fees. A number of innovative colleges are making the same offer to students anxious about saving time and money. That\’s both an opportunity and a warning for the best higher-education system in the world.
[B] The United States has almost all of the world\’s best universities. A recent Chinese survey ranks 35 American universities among the top 50, eight among the top 10. Our research universities have been the key to developing the competitive advantages that help Americans produce 25％ of all the world\’s wealth. In 2007, 623,805 of the world\’s brightest students were attracted to American universities.
[C] Yet, there are signs of peril (危险) within American higher education. U.S. colleges have to compete in the marketplace. Students may choose among 6,000 public, private, nonprofit, for-profit, or religious institutions of higher learning. In addition, almost all of the $32 billion the federal government provides for university research is awarded competitively.
[D] But many colleges and universities are stuck in the past. For instance, the idea of the fall-to-spring \\
