Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

【1】 We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning. We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers. 【2】 It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor.

Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. 【3】

【4】 The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.

【5】 A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as a fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.

A. Typically, the original message has changed.

B. Finally everybody gets the meaning.

C. Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem.

D. Knowledge is passed down from generation to generation.

E. That’s what happens in daily life.

F. This process is also found among scholars and authors.

G. We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】C

【3】A

【4】E

【5】F

【解析】

試題分析：本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了被動獲得知識所存在的一個嚴(yán)重的問題——被告知的可能是謠言。并用現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中簡單的事例加以說明。

【1】G 根據(jù)后幾句We achieve it actively by……，We achieve knowledge passively by……，可知選項(xiàng)G 是最合適的，起到主題句的作用。

【2】C 根據(jù)前后句的意思，尤其是后一句It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor.可知它讓我們接受我們被告知的東西哪怕是謠言，故屬于被動學(xué)習(xí)，答案為C。

【3】A 根據(jù)本段的意思，介紹了謠言這個游戲的玩法，可知原始的信息和最后聽來的信息是不一樣的，故答案為A。

【4】E 本空屬于主題句。本段主要是細(xì)說生活中這種謠言的形成過程，故選項(xiàng)E符合本段大意。

【5】F 根據(jù)后一句A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as a fact by another可找到關(guān)鍵詞writer，就是F選項(xiàng)中的author，故答案為F。
