问题     Lecturing as a method of teaching is so frequently under attack today from educational psychologists and by students that some justification(理由) is needed to retain it. Critics believe that it results in 【S1】______ methods of learning which tend to be less effective than those which fully engage the learner. They also 【S2】______ that students have no opportunity to ask questions and must all receive the same content at the same pace, that they are exposed only to one teacher’s interpretation of subject matter which will inevitably be prejudiced and that, anyway, few lectures rise above 【S3】______. Nevertheless, in a number of inquiries this 【S4】______ assessment of lecturing as a teaching method proves not to be general among students, although they do fairly often comment on poor lecturing techniques.
    Students 【S5】______ lectures which are clear, orderly summary in which basic principles are emphasized, but dislike too 【S6】______ digressions(离题) or lectures which consist in part of the con tents of a textbook. Students of science subjects consider that a lecture is a good way to introduce a new subject, putting it in its context, or to present material not yet included in books. They also 【S7】______ its value as a period of discussion of problems and possible 【S8】______ with their lecturer. They do not look for inspiration—this is more 【S9】______ mentioned by teachers—but arts students look for 【S10】______ in lectures. Medical and dental students who have reported on teaching methods, or specifically on lecturing, suggest that there should be fewer lectures or that, at the least, more would be unpopular.

选项

答案C

解析 所填词修饰method,因此首先把选项限定在可作为形容词的单词。根据由which引导的修饰 method的定语从句的内容可判断所填词应带有贬义色彩(与less effective对应),因此可在passive和pessimistic之间进行选择。经过对全文内容的把握可知50题也需要选择一个表示贬义的形容词修饰assessment,可排除 active。
