问题   The idea that music makes you smarter has received considerable attention from scholars and the media.Current interest in【1】between music and intelligence stems from two independent areas of research.One focuses on short-term effects of【2】listening to music.The other is on a seperate【3】of research,which examines whether music lessons have【4】benefits that extend to non-musical areas of cognition.Such【5】could be unique to children who take music lessons for long periods of time【6】their experiences differ substantially from those of other children.Music lessons【7】long periods of focused attention,memorization of【8】musical passages,learning about a variety of musical structures,and【9】mastery of technical skills and the conventions【10】the expression of emotions in performance.This【11】of experiences could have a positive impact on cognition,particularly during the childhood years,when brain development is highly【12】and sensitive to environmental influence.
  Previous findings are【13】 with the hypothesis that music lessons promote intellectual development.For example,natural musical gifts is associated with literacy.【14】,correlational and experimental studies【15】that music lessons have positive relations with verbal memory,reading ability,selective attention,and mathematics achievement.【16】,the simplest explanation of these【17】relations is that they come froma common component,such as general intelligence.Put simply,children【18】high IQs are more likely than other children to take music lessons.To conclude that music lessons have a casual relation with IQ that is【19】to music,one must rule【20】potentially confusing factors such as socioeconomic status,and education,and demonstrate that non-musical,extracurricular activities do not have comparable effects on IQ.
【12】

选项 A、plastic
B、dependent
C、complex
D、touchy

答案A

解析 考查上下文语义。空格处所在句意为:儿童时期的大脑发展非常 ________而且对环境影响很敏感。此处是用来解释“这些经历对孩童时期的认知有积极的影响”。A项plastic可以表示“可塑的”,代入文中,表示“儿童的大脑发展具有可塑性”,符合文意。dependent“依赖的”,complex“复杂的”,touchy“过于敏感的,棘手的”,均不符合文意。
