   A simple computer program that teaches children to distinguish between sounds can dramatically boost their listening skills. It can allow them to progress by the equivalent of two years in just a few weeks, the game’s creator claims.
   The game, called Phonomena, was 【C1】______ by David Moore of the University of Oxford, UK, as an 【C2】______ for children with language problems, but he says his latest trials also show that it can help any child. Other experts, however, are reserving 【C3】______ until independent tests are carried out.
   Phonomena is designed to improve children’s ability to distinguish between different phonemes, the 【C4】______ sounds that form the building blocks of language. Up to a fifth of all children are thought to have problems hearing the differences between some sounds, says Moore, who heads the UK Medical Research Council’s Institute of Hearing Research.
   In the game, children have to distinguish between 【C5】______ of phonemes such as the "i" sound from the word "bit" and the "e" from "bet". They are played one phoneme followed by two more examples, and asked which one 【C6】______ the first sound. As the game 【C7】______, the phonemes are gradually changed to make them more and more 【C8】______, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between them. With 44 phonemes in English, there are 【C9】______ more than 1,000 different pairs, but the game 【C10】______on just 22 pairs of the commonest and most similar- sounding phonemes. [br] 【C1】
选项
答案 F
解析 空格前后出现被动语态的标志词was和by，由此推测空格处填入过去分词。本句介绍这款游戏的发明者David Moore，词库中devised“设计；发明”符合语义，故选F。advocated为干扰项，根据his latest trials可知，David Moore不是这个游戏的支持者。而是游戏的发明者，故排除advocated。
