【解析】
试题分析:本文讲述了教育中非常重要但又被人们忽略了的一个方面,即自我发现的艺术。因为我们所有的革新和发现,我们所有的创造力,都出自一个来源:就是能够首先看清那里是什么,不是什么,听清说的是什么,不是什么。这就是教会学生自我发现的重要性所在。
1.B形容词辨析。A技术性的;B重要的;C 严肃的;D常见的,共同的。由下文的叙述可知自我发现的艺术是非常重要的。所以B选项正确。
2.D动词辨析。A 负担得起;B 告诉;C 重复;D 问。此处用两个相同的how to do结构强调前后的对比,由answer可以判断后面填ask ,D选项正确。句意:我们现在的大学造就的是怎样给答案的学生,而不是怎样提问题的学生。
3.C动词辨析。A参加;B 进入;C 离开;D 欣赏,喜欢。从后句with skills for the workplace,可以判断是毕业后去工作岗位,故C选项正确。
4.C名词辨析。A 学习;B 工作;C 生活;D 思考。从with no knowledge of how to live可知此处仍然指的是生活,句意:没有怎样生活的知识,或者为什么而生活的知识。C选项正确。
5.A名词辨析。A艺术;B 主题;C 主意;D 风格,文体。文章开头提出 the art of self-discovery,自我发现的艺术,倾听的艺术,从内容的平列可知后面应该是服从的艺术,A为正确选项。
6.C名词辨析。A听;B 说;C读;D写。从下句True reading is not just passing…可知此处指的是阅读,故C选项正确。
7.D名词辨析。A嘴唇;B 胳膊;C 手;D眼睛。从常识可知阅读时目光掠过文字, 所以D 选项正确。
8.A动词辨析。A收集;B递送,发布;C 送; D 传递。从常理可知人们阅读的目的是为了获取信息,了解情况。所以A选项正确。阅读不仅仅是目光掠过文字,或者收集信息,或者是理解所读的内容。
9.B形容词辨析。A本地的;B有创造性的;C 侦探;D敏感的。从下文内容可知阅读时大脑要对所读到的东西进行加工处理,得到一些新的东西,这是一个创造性的过程,所以B选项正确。
10.B名词辨析。A感激,欣赏;B想象力;C 呈现;D指示。根据常识人们在阅读时,会运用想象力使所读的内容以画面的形式出现在眼前。所以B选项正确。
11.A名词辨析。A 行业,散步;B 种类;C 边,面;D物件。All walks of life 是固定短语“各行各业”,所以选A。
12.C副词辨析。A一般说来;B 显然;C 实际上;D 故意地。从下文They only read what is。。。判断可知此处指人们尽管专业,但是实际上也没有真正地读眼前的东西。所以C选项正确。
13.D副词辨析。A 甚至;B 永远;C仍然;D已经。从上文可知他们读的仅仅是字面的意思,没有运用想象力创造性的读出新内容来,所以D选项正确。
14.B名词辨析。A 主题;B 页;C 科目,话题;D 书。从语境可知作者指的是人们在读这篇文章时,所以B选项正确。
15.A名词辨析。A创造力;B可能性;C 程序;D 项目。由上文innovations, our discoveries可以推断此处应该是和革新、发现同类的褒义词,所以A选项正确。
