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.
【C5】
选项 A、joint
B、bond
C、twist
D、transfer
答案D
解析 本题考查名词辨析。空格句指出：这种______是长期学习音乐课程的孩子所独有的。such指代上一句提到的“音乐课程对非音乐领域的认知带来附带益处”。transfer“转移，调动，变换”用在文中强调“从音乐领域到非音乐领域的转移”，符合文意。bond“纽带，联系”一般用于指人或团体之间。A项joint表示“(两个物体或部分的)接合处，汇合处”；C项twist表示“转动，拧，扭曲，扭动；(故事或情况的)转折，突然变化”，均不符合文章语义要求，故排除。
