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 seperate【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 devolopment 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 casual 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.
【C14】
选项 A、Therefore
B、Indeed
C、Notwithstanding
D、Besides
答案B
解析 考查逻辑关系。空格前指出：音乐天赋与读写能力相关。空格后阐述：相关的研究证明音乐课程与词汇、阅读能力等因素有着正向的联系。由此可以推知，后文是对前文的肯定与强调。B．Indeed表示肯定与强调，符合文意，为正确答案。Therefore意为“因此”，表因果；Notwithstanding“尽管如此”，表让步；Besides“除此之外”，表递进，三项均不符合文意。
