问题     Culture is activity of thought, and receptiveness to beauty and humane feeling. Scraps of information have【B1】______ to do with it. A【B2】______ well-informed man is the most useless bore on God’s earth. What we should aim at【B3】______ is men who possess both culture and expert knowledge in some【B4】______ direction. Their expert knowledge will give them the ground to start【B5】______, and their culture will【B6】______ them as deep as philosophy and as high as art. We have to remember that the【B7】______ intellectual development is self-development, and that it【B8】______ takes place between the ages of sixteen and thirty. As to training, the most important part is given by mothers【B9】______ the age of twelve.
    In training a child to activity of thought,【B10】______ all things we must be【B11】______ of what I will call "inert ideas" — that is to say, ideas that are merely【B12】______ into the mind without being utilized, or tested, or thrown into【B13】______ combinations.
    In the history of education, the most striking phenomenon is that schools of learning, which at one epoch are【B14】______ with a craze for genius, but in a succeeding generation exhibit merely【B15】______. The reason is that they are overladen with inert ideas.【B16】______ at rare intervals of intellectual motivation, education in the past has been radically infected with inert ideas. That is the reason why uneducated clever women, who have【B17】______ much of the world, are in middle life so much the most cultured part of the community. They have been【B18】______ from this horrible burden of inert ideas. Every intellectual revolution which has【B19】______ stirred humanity into greatness has been a passionate protest【B20】______ inert ideas.
【B14】
选项 A、popular
B、bored
C、content
D、alive
答案D
解析 短语alive with意为“热闹的，充满的，活跃的”，本题较难。根据文意，“某个时期吹捧天才”，而“其他时期炫耀中规中矩”，语句间流露出了作者的讽刺语气。其他三个干扰项虽然可以和介词with搭配，但不符合文章：[A]popular(喜爱的)，[B]bored(厌倦的)，[C]content(满意的)。
