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.
【C1】
选项 A、associations
B、conjunctions
C、conversation
D、integration
答案A
解析 本题考查名词辨析。文章开篇指出音乐可以使人变得更聪明这一观点受到了学者和媒体的关注。本句承接上文指出，现在人们对音乐和智力之间______的兴趣来自两个研究领域。根据上文可以推知，本句谈论的是音乐与智商之间的联系。association“联系，表因果关系”用在文中表示音乐与智商之间的关系，与第一句中的“音乐使人更聪明”相呼应。所以A项正确。conversion“转换，转化”强调事物的形式、作用或体系的转变；B项conjunctions意思是“引起某种结果的事物等的”结合，同时发生；D项integration意思是“为了有效地发挥作用，几个事物的结合、整合”，都不接介词between，因此可排除。
