答案 A
解析 本题测试考生根据上下文判断逻辑和词义的能力。according to根据； regardless of不管； apart from除了；instead of代替，而不是。此空需填入衔接上下文语义的逻辑词，表示“智力可以增长和波动”和“思维努力”的关系。上文提到“因为推动智力发展的连接可以通过人为的努力和训练实现，因此科学家相信“智力的增长和波动”和“人为的思维努力”是相关的。故A项according to“根据”符合句意，表示智力可以随着人为的思维努力而增长和波动。B项regardless of“不管”、C项apart from“除了”和D项instead of“而不是”在语义上均体现不出人为的思维努力和智力发展的相关性，故都不选。此外，instead of连接的是并列结构而空格前后分别为动词和名词，故从语法上可先排除instead of。
