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.

选项
答案 I
解析 空格在助动词can和宾语more curiosity and openness之间，应为动词原形。根据后文提到的“很多研究发现智力与寻求刺激和不同体验有关，包括学习新事物”可推知，此处应讲智力能“激发”人对新鲜事物的好奇心，故选用spur。
