问题     A set of genes play a role in learning to read and do math, but this ability is not just gene-driven,【C1】______schooling and help from parents are also vital【C2】______.
    Early mathematical ability and literacy are known to【C3】______in some families, but the genes【C4】______affect this have until now been【C5】______unknown.
    Scientists looked into a data pool called the Twins Early Development Study, which【C6】______12-year-olds from nearly 2,800 British families.
    The team compared twins and【C7】______children to see how they【C8】______in tests for maths and reading comprehension, and then matched the children’s genomes.
    Between 10 percent and half of the genes involved in reading were also involved in math, they found, and tiny variants in these【C9】______genes influence skill level.
   【C10】______it’s also clear how important our life experience is in making us better at one or the other. It’s this complex【C11】______of nature and nurture as we grow up【C12】______shapes who we are.
    Professor Robert Plomin said the study was the first to estimate the【C13】______from DNA alone on learning ability.
    But, he stressed, the genetic variants that were identified were not【C14】______"literacy or numeracy" genes.
   【C15】______they formed part of a more complex mechanism in which many genes each【C16】______a small, but combined, effect on learning ability.
    "Children differ【C17】______in how easy or difficult they find learning, and we need to recognize and【C18】______these individual differences," said Plomin.
    "Heritability does not【C19】______that anything is set in stone—it just means it may take more effort from parents, schools and teachers to【C20】______the child up to speed."
【C14】
选项 A、specific
B、accurate
C、simple
D、explicit
答案A
解析 由本段开头的But看出，本句跟前面存在语义上的转折。上一句提到“该研究首次评估了仅DNA对学习能力的影响”，顺着这个句意，被确认的基因变体就应该不仅仅是“学文算数”基因，A项specific“特定的，明确的”填入空格，能表达这个意思。
