问题     No Englishman believes in working from book learning. He suspects
everything new, and dislikes it, unless he can be compelled by the force of
circumstances to see that this new thing has advantage over the old.
Race-experience is what he invariably depends upon, when he can, (1)______
whether in India, in Egypt, or in Australia.
    His statesmen do not consult historic precedents in order to decide (2)______
what to do: they first learn the facts that they are; then they depend upon (3)______
their own common sense, not at all upon their university learning and upon (4)______
philosophical theories. And in case of the English nation, it must be (5)______
acknowledged that this instinctive method has been extremely successful.
    The last people from whom praise can be expected, even for what is
worth of all praise, are the English. The Englishman all the time is (6)______
studying, considering, trying to find fault. Why should he try to find fault?
So that he will not make any mistakes at a later day. He was inherited the (7)______
trouble caution of his ancestors in regards to mistakes. It must be granted (8)______
that his caution has saved him from a number of very serious mistakes
that other nations have made. It must also be acknowledged that he exercises
a fair amount of moderation in the opposite direction—this modern
Englishman; he has learned caution of other kind, which his ancestors (9)______
taught him. "Power should be used with moderation; for whoever finds
himself among valiant men will discover that no man is superior than others." (10)______
(7)
选项
答案was一has
解析 语态及时态错误。inherit意为“继承，遗传”时为及物动词，宾语为物，主语为人。此句的主语为he，宾语为the trouble caution，故需要用主动语态。但如果直接删除was使用一般过去时，则与全篇所使用的是现在时态不统一，因此可把was改成has变成现在完成时态，表明遗传对现在仍有影响。
