问题     Is there something as truth? For a good many centuries "the search for truth" has been【C1】______the noblest activity of the human mind, but the seekers after truth have come to such【C2】______conclusions that it often seems that very little progress has been made.【C3】______, there are many people who feel that we are actually going backward. They【C4】______, often contemptuously, that we have accumulated more "knowledge" than our ancestors, but they think we are farther from the truth than ever, or even that we have【C5】______the truth that we once possessed.
    If people look for anything long enough without finding it, the question naturally arises【C6】______the thing is really there to find. You have seen a picture of an animal with a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a serpent’s tail—and maybe an eagle’s wings for good【C7】______There is plenty of evidence that each part of this animal【C8】______—but there is no【C9】______evidence that the parts ever occur in this combination. It is at least conceivable that the seekers after "truth" have made a similar mistake and invented an【C10】______combination.
【C4】
选项 A、confess
B、realize
C、admit
D、reveal
答案C
解析 本句主语“他们”(They)是不情愿地“承认我们比祖先知识多”这一事实的，confess主要用于对坏事、错误的承认，即“坦白”；realize(认识到，意识到)与reveal(揭露，暴露)均不合文义。
