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.
【C9】
选项 A、consecutive
B、progressive
C、intensive
D、successive
答案B
解析 本题考查形容词辨析。空格所在的名词短语…mastery of technical skills and the conventions，做上文出现的动词entail的多个并列宾语之一，该部分表示“音乐课程要求______掌握技术性技能和情感表现的方法”。由于其他三个并列宾语都强调了音乐学习时间长、难度大的特点：长时间集中注意力，记忆长的乐段，学习各种不同的音乐结构，而progressive“稳步的，逐步的”用在文中表示“循序渐进地掌握音乐技能”，也符合这一特点，因此B项正确。A项consecutive“连续不断的”；C项intensive“短时间内集中进行的，密集”；D项successive“连续的，接连的，相继的”，均不合语义，故排除。
