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．
【17】
选项 A、diffuse
B、fragmentary
C、universal
D、comprehensive
答案A
解析 考查上下文语义。空格处填入的形容词修饰relations，指上句提到的音乐学习与词汇记忆、阅读能力等的联系。因此所填入形容词要既能概况出上文这些联系的一种特点，又能与下文的“common”形成语义上的对应。A项diffuse意为“分散的，不集中的”，代入文中，表示“对这些分散的联系最简单的解释是它们有共同的来源”，符合文意。fragmentary“不完整的，残缺的”，universal“普遍的，通用的”。comprehensive“全面的，综合性的”，均不符合文意。
