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.
【C16】
选项 A、Moreover
B、Nonetheless
C、Meanwhile
D、Instead
答案B
解析 本题考查逻辑关系。前文指出，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，空格所在句子则指出“对这些关联的最简单的解释是以上那些能力来自于一个共同的部分，比如称作一般智商”。两句话之间有轻微的转折，前一句侧重指出多种具体的能力，后一句则说它们可统一归为一种“最简单”的解释，如“一般智商”。Nonetheless“然而，不过”符合文意，所以B项正确。A项Moreover表递进；C项Meanwhile表对比；D项Instead表替代性转折。
