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.
【C13】
选项 A、coherent
B、compliant
C、consistent
D、compatible
答案C
解析 本题考查上下文语义。此句说明．之前的发现与音乐学习促进智力发展这一假设______。从下文For example后举例的内容来看，填入的形容词和with搭配表示“相吻合，一致”的含义。consistent常与with搭配，符合文意，所以C项正确。其他几项放入文中均无法说通，应排除。A项coherent意为“(看法、思想、论点等)合乎逻辑的，有条理的”，coherent修饰事物时，多用作定语；B项compliant(with)意为“顺从的，适应的”：compliant强调符合规则、标准；D项compatible(with)意为“(想法、方法等)可共存的，可共用的，兼容的”。
