问题    The idea that music makes you smarter has received considerable attention from scholars and the media. Current interest in【C1】______between music and intelligence stems from two independent areas of research. One focuses on short-term effects of【C2】______listening to music. The other is on a separate【C3】______of research, which examines whether music lessons have【C4】______benefits that extend to non-musical areas of cognition. Such【C5】______could be unique to children who take music lessons for long periods of time【C6】______their experiences differ substantially from those of other children. Music lessons【C7】_______long periods of focused attention, memorization of【C8】______musical passages, learning about a variety of musical structures, and【C9】______mastery of technical skills and the conventions【C10】______the expression of emotions in performance. This【C11】______of experiences could have a positive impact on cognition, particularly during the childhood years, when brain development is highly【C12】______and sensitive to environmental influence.
   Previous findings are【C13】______with the hypothesis that music lessons promote intellectual development. For example, natural musical gifts is associated with literacy.【C14】______correlational and experimental studies【C15】______that music lessons have positive relations with verbal memory, reading ability, selective attention, and mathematics achievement.【C16】______, the simplest explanation of these【C17】______relations is that they come from a common component, such as general intelligence. Put simply, children【C18】______high IQs are more likely than other children to take music lessons. To conclude that music lessons have a causal relation with IQ that is【C19】______to music, one must rule【C20】______potentially confusing factors such as socioeconomic status, and education, and demonstrate that non-musical, extracurricular activities do not have comparable effects on IQ.
【C10】

选项 A、directing
B、conducting
C、commanding
D、governing

答案D

解析 本题考查动词辨析。分析空格句可知,此处填入的现在分词与后面部分构成分词短语,作后置定语,其逻辑主语是conventions,逻辑宾语是the expression。govern“控制,影响,支配”代入文中后,意为“掌握专业技能与影响音乐表演中情感表现的传统手法”,符合文意,所以D项正确。其他三个词的主语一般都是人或以人为主体的事物,不与conventions搭配,应排除。A项directing“管理,监督,指导”;B项conducting“组织,安排;实施,执行”;C项commanding“掌管,控制”。
