问题     Are smarter kids smart enough to avoid alcohol and drugs? For decades, scientists had documented that those with lower IQ and less education were more likely to become addicted to alcohol or other drugs, probably because lower levels of education and lower IQ are associated with the【C1】______ effects of poverty and because having less intelligence offers fewer mental resources to allow users to moderate and avoid problems.

Drug use is not the same as drug addiction—higher intelligence is a protective factor against alcoholism and addictions;【C3】______ smarter people are more likely to drink or try drugs. Social drinking in many countries and non-problematic drinking is more【C4】______ and common among people with higher education. But why? What protects them from【C5】______ into addiction?
    Intelligence can serve as a vehicle for【C6】______ when it comes to alcohol or drug use—the more educated people are, the more they internalize and appreciate the dangers and risks of【C7】______
    Intelligence can also【C8】______ more curiosity and openness to new experiences. And that includes experimenting with alcohol and drugs. People have the impression that intelligence is somehow related to being【C9】______ and bookwormish, but large studies definitely find that intelligence is associated with sensation-seeking and seeking different kinds of experiences, including learning new things. It could be related to the nature of intelligence.

A) execution B) moderation C) compelling D) indulgence
E) nonetheless F) decent G) frequent H) novelty
I) spur J) damaging K) deviate L) sliding
M) exceptionally N) introverted O) contradict [br] 【C5】
选项
答案 L
解析 空格位于词组protect…from之后，为介词from的宾语。根据空格后的介词into(表示进入某种状态)可确定填入此处的词应表示某个动作，并能与into搭配。sliding符合语法结构和句意，表明受教育程度高的人虽然常喝酒。但不会“滑落”到酗酒的深渊。
