问题     For countless times in history, people have explored the
relationship between science and classics. The pioneers of the teaching
of science imagined that its introduction into education would remove the
conventional, artificiality, and backward-lookingness which were 【S1】______
characteristic of classical studies, but they were gravely disappointed.
So, too, in their time the humanists thought that the study of the 【S2】______
classical authors in the original would banish for once the dull pedantry 【S3】______
and superstition of mediaeval scholasticism. The professional
schoolmaster was the match for both of them, and has almost managed 【S4】______
to make the understanding of chemical reactions as dull and as dogmatic
an affair as the reading of Virgil’s Aeneid.
    The chief claim for the use of science in education is that it teaches
a child something about the actual universe in which he is living, in
making him acquainting with the results of scientific discovery, and at 【S5】______
the same time teaches him how to think logical and inductively by 【S6】______
studying scientific method. A certain limited success has been reached in
the first of these aims, but practically none at all in the second. That 【S7】______
privileged members of the community who have been through in a 【S8】______
secondary or public school education may be expected to know
something about the elementary physics and chemistry of a hundred
years ago, but they probably know hard more than any bright boy can 【S9】______
pick up from an interest in wireless or scientific hobbies out of school
hours.
    As to the learning of scientific method, the whole thing is palpably
a farce. Actually, for the convenience of teachers and the requirements
of the examination system, it is necessary that the pupils not only do not
learn scientific method but learn precisely the reverse, that is, to believe
exactly that they are told and to reproduce it when asked, whether it 【S10】______
seems nonsense to them or not.
【S10】
选项
答案that一what
解析 从句引导词误用。该句意为“……也就是说，他们相信了被教授的知识，然后在被提问时重述这些知识，即使有些知识对于他们来说就是胡说八道。”此句中动词believe后接宾语从句，从句引导词应该为what，在宾语从句中充当宾语，故将that改为what。
