问题     Dolphin-assisted therapy for children with mental disabilities has
made a splash in the West, and China is now riding the experimental
tide. More than 80 parents of children with severe mental disabilities
have booked all of next year’s spots in the program.(Sessions only run
in the summer because the water temperatures are too cold for the kids
in other seasons.)However, newcomers must wait until 2014, says Liu【M1】______
Quansheng, manager of the park’s owner, Zhejiang Aquarium
Investment Group.
    Despite of the demand, dolphin-assisted therapy has not been 【M2】______
scientifically proven. Still, many experts and parents of special-needs
children swear in it. While the science of dolphin-assisted therapy’s 【M3】______
assortment of purported benefits hasn’t been verified, many believe at
least some benefits come from the experience’s emotional magic.
    "Once the children are in the pool they’re only focused on the
dolphins. They love it, because the creatures let the kids touch and kiss
them, grab their fins and swim with them."
    Most opponents agree on the merit of the fun factor. Some also 【M4】______
claim it boost people’s immune systems. And many experts contend the【M5】______
therapy’s benefits run deeper. Dolphins’ presence palpably changes
water. Those which swim with the creatures report fizzing sounds, as if【M6】______
the marine mammals carbonate the water. The sound has been
compared as popcorn, flames and sparklers. The marine animals’ 【M7】______
ultrasonic energy is four times powerful than scientific instruments 【M8】______
using to peer inside the body to make diagnoses, monitor pregnancies 【M9】______
and break in kidney stones, gallstones and cataract-clouded lenses. This【M10】______
is amplified by the water, which transmits sounds at 60 times air’s
efficiency. The ultrasonic energy then enters our bodies — which are, in
turn, mostly water. But how — and if — this helps children with mental
disabilities remains unclear.

选项
答案However—So／Therefore
解析 逻辑错误。前文提到明年的位置已经订完了，而本句说新来的人要等到2014年，两者之间是因果关系，不是转折关系，因此要用表示因果关系的连接词So／Therefore。
