【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.

想像一下，當你在演奏鋼琴時，左手要維持穩定的節奏，右手則要彈奏輕快的旋律，同時眼睛還得看著譜。這種「讓身體多個不同部位在同一時間各司其職，卻又能完美配合」的能力，在中文裡我們會如何稱呼它？

太棒了！你能精準選出 (D) coordination (協調)，代表你敏銳地捕捉到了括號中的補充細節。這題的難度在於四個選項都是以 -tion 結尾的抽象名詞，在視覺與聽覺上容易混淆，但只要能將後方的「動作描述」與「核心概念」對接，就能迎刃而解。
語意連結與肢體運作
文中括號內的文字是關鍵的提示：它提到「每隻手的每一根手指都在做不同的事」，且對於管樂器來說，還需要「結合嘴部與呼吸」。這種多重器官、肢體在同一時間精密且穩定配合的生理狀態，在英文中最精確的表達就是 coordination (協調性)。相較之下，(A) 示範、(B) 代表或 (C) 冥想，都無法貼切地描述這種高度複雜的生理同步行為。
