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.
【C6】
选项 A、whenever
B、because
C、whereas
D、before
答案B
解析 考查逻辑关系。空格前阐述了：这种转移是长期学习音乐课程的孩子所独有的。空格后介绍了：他们的经历与其他孩子大不相同。根据语境可知，前后为因果关系。因此B．because符合文意，为最佳选项。whenever“每当…”，表时间；whereas“然而”，表对比；before“在…之前”，表时间，均不符合题意。
