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.
【C7】
选项 A、comprise
B、contain
C、entail
D、enclose
答案C
解析 本题考查动词辨析。空格处填入一动词，其主语是Music lessons，宾语是并列的名词性结构。由句意可知此处是要说明音乐课程的性质特点。entail“牵涉，须要，使必须”代入文中表示“音乐学习要求注意力集中、记忆长的乐段”，符合文意，所以C项正确。其他项的几个词都强调“在里面”或者“属于一部分”，而“注意力集中”等与“音乐课程”不是包含与被包含的关系，因此它们代入文中不符合逻辑，应排除。A项comprise表示“由……组成，包括，包含”；B项contain表示“含有，包含，容纳”；D项enclose表示“用(墙等)围起来；随函(或包裹)附上”。
