【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了學(xué)習(xí)音樂的學(xué)生記憶單詞的效果要好，因為音樂的學(xué)習(xí)和記憶單詞和圖片都是開發(fā)左半腦。

1.最近的調(diào)查已經(jīng)表明那些學(xué)習(xí)音樂的孩子比那些沒有學(xué)的記憶單詞要好得多。結(jié)合語境及詞匯可知用完成時，填動詞的過去分詞showed。

2.介詞。句意：最近的調(diào)查已經(jīng)表明那些學(xué)習(xí)音樂的孩子比那些沒有學(xué)的記憶單詞要好得多without介詞，沒有后加名詞。故填without.

3.動詞。句意：六十個美國女性大學(xué)生被做了這個實驗。Be done表示被動語態(tài)，故填done過去分詞。

4.動詞。句意：在兩種情況下，學(xué)生不得不記住單詞和圖片。Have to do 表示不得不做某事，結(jié)合語境故填memorize記住。

5.連詞。句意：然后他們被問記住了多少單詞。結(jié)合語境及所給詞匯可知和前文構(gòu)成連接作用，故填Then然后，連詞。

6.連詞。句意：科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)那些學(xué)習(xí)音樂的學(xué)生記的單詞要好。 Who在這里是引導(dǎo)定語從句，先行詞是指人故用Who引導(dǎo)，結(jié)合語境及所給詞匯填who。

7.形容詞。句意;也許用你的想象力去聯(lián)想生活中的東西是容易的。It’s +形容詞比較級to do 做某事更怎么樣。結(jié)合句意故填easier比較級更容易。

8.科學(xué)家解釋不同說音樂的記憶和讀寫的記憶都是以左半腦為基礎(chǔ)的。結(jié)合語境可知填名詞的復(fù)數(shù)不同，故填differences。

9.視覺記憶，所需要的那種照片位于大腦的右半面。結(jié)合語境及所給詞匯，故填right

10.連詞。句意：事實上，當(dāng)學(xué)生們被測試一年之后。一段時間+later表示在……之后，結(jié)合語境故填later

考點：選詞填空。
