问题   The idea that music makes you smarter has received considerable attention from scholars and the media.Current interest in【1】between music and intelligence stems from two independent areas of research.One focuses on short-term effects of【2】listening to music.The other is on a seperate【3】of research,which examines whether music lessons have【4】benefits that extend to non-musical areas of cognition.Such【5】could be unique to children who take music lessons for long periods of time【6】their experiences differ substantially from those of other children.Music lessons【7】long periods of focused attention,memorization of【8】musical passages,learning about a variety of musical structures,and【9】mastery of technical skills and the conventions【10】the expression of emotions in performance.This【11】of experiences could have a positive impact on cognition,particularly during the childhood years,when brain development is highly【12】and sensitive to environmental influence.
  Previous findings are【13】 with the hypothesis that music lessons promote intellectual development.For example,natural musical gifts is associated with literacy.【14】,correlational and experimental studies【15】that music lessons have positive relations with verbal memory,reading ability,selective attention,and mathematics achievement.【16】,the simplest explanation of these【17】relations is that they come froma common component,such as general intelligence.Put simply,children【18】high IQs are more likely than other children to take music lessons.To conclude that music lessons have a casual relation with IQ that is【19】to music,one must rule【20】potentially confusing factors such as socioeconomic status,and education,and demonstrate that non-musical,extracurricular activities do not have comparable effects on IQ.

选项 A、Moreover
B、Nonetheless
C、Meanwhile
D、Instead

答案B

解析 考查逻辑关系。空格前指出:音乐课程与词汇记忆、阅读能力、选择性注意力等各种能力有着正向关联。空格所在句子指出:对这些关联的最简单的解释是以上那些能力来自一个共同的部分,比如称作一般智力。前面强调多种具体的能力,后面统一归为一种解释。由此可以推知,两句话之间有轻微转折,因此答案为B项Nonetheless“然而,不过”。其他三项均不符合题意。
