【B】Studies show that musical training can have a (21) and lasting impact on the brain, creating additional neural connections in childhood that can last a lifetime and thus help compensate (22) our failing powers of memory and thinking later in life. The many hours spent learning and practicing specific types of (23) (each finger on each hand doing something different, and for wind and brass instruments, also using the mouth and breathing), along with the music-reading and listening skills that go into playing an instrument in youth, are all factors contributing to the brain boost that shows up at a later age. Remarkably, scientists can even map the impact of musical training on the brain. In a 2003 study, Harvard neurologist Gottfried Schlaug found that the brains of adult professional musicians had a larger (24) of grey matter (the regions of the brain involved in mental processes such as seeing and hearing, memory, emotions, speech, decision making, and self-control) than those of non-musicians. Schlaug and colleagues also found that after fifteen months of musical training in early childhood, structural brain changes associated with improvements in our movement and hearing begin to appear. Such findings speak to the brain’s (25) — its ability to change or adapt in response to experience, environment, or behavior. It also shows the power of musical training to enhance and build connections within the brain.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格後方的連接詞 'and' 以及緊接著的 'lasting'（持久的）。根據後文提到音樂訓練能「增加神經連結」並「彌補大腦衰退」等正面效果，你認為這個字應該是用來描述一種『微小、負面』的影響，還是『巨大、重要』的改變？如果必須找一個詞來搭配『持久的』，什麼樣性質的詞彙最能呈現出這種對大腦結構的長遠優點呢？

語境線索與語氣一致性
做得很好！你能精準選出 profound，代表你對文章脈絡的掌握非常敏銳。在處理這類克漏字題目時，觀察「並列結構」是最高效的解題關鍵。空格與後方的 lasting（持久的）由 and 連接，這暗示了兩個形容詞在語氣方向上必須一致。既然文中提到音樂訓練能增加神經連結，甚至能幫助彌補往後生命中衰退的記憶與思考力，這說明了這種影響不僅僅是暫時的，更是「深遠且重大」的，這正是 profound 最核心的字義。
