Sending your children to piano or violin lessons in a bid(努力)to boost their academic achievement is a waste of money, according to scientists. Although research has shown that youngsters who take music lessons are more likely to be【C1】______of their class, psychologist Glenn Schellenberg claims this link is【C2】______.
Instead, improved academic performance may be because brighter children from privileged【C3】______are more likely to learn an instrument, rather than music classes helping to boost their【C4】______.
"Music may【C5】______you a bit, but it’s also the case that different children take music lessons," said Professor Schellenberg of the University of Toronto, who added that parents’ education was the most influential【C6】______on musicality. "Children who take music lessons come from families with higher incomes, they come from families with more【C7】______parents, they also do more extracurricular activities, they have higher IQs, and they do better at school."
In tests on 167 children who played the piano or other instruments, they found their answer to personality tests could【C8】______how likely it was for them to continue their music lessons. Those who were more outgoing and conscientious were more likely to continue to play.
"We were【C9】______by the fact that kids who take music lessons are particularly good students. In school they actually do better than you would predict from their IQ, so【C10】______something else is going on," Professor Schellenberg told the American Association for the Advancement of Science(AAAS)annual conference in Boston. "So we thought that personality might be the personality. "
A)backgrounds F)emotional K)motivated
B)change G)factor L)obviously
C)decrease H)fortunately M)predict
D)displayed I)intelligence N)status
E)educated J)misleading O)top

答案
J
解析
形容词辨析题。空格前为系动词is,故应填入形容词作表语,或动词的过去分词构成被动语态。空格处所在句有一个让步状语从句,主句是对从句的否定转折。从句提到,研究表明上音乐课的孩子更可能名列前茅,主句则指出,将这两者联系在一起——。结合选项可知,含有否定意义的misleading“误导人的”符合题意,故为答案。
