问题     Culture is activity of thought, and receptiveness to beauty and humane feeling,【1】of information have nothing to do with it. A merely well-informed man is the most useless【2】on God’s earth. What we should【3】at producing is men who【4】both culture and expert knowledge in some special direction. Their expert knowledge will give them the ground to start【5】, and their culture will lead them as【6】as philosophy and as high as【7】. We have to remember that the valuable【8】development is self-development, and that it【9】takes place between the ages of sixteen and thirty. As to training, the most important part is given by mothers before the age of twelve.

In the history of educaton. the most【13】phenomenon is that schools of learning, which at one epoch are alive with a craze for genius, in a【14】generation exhibit merely pedantry and routine. The reason is that they are overladen with inert ideas. Except at【15】intervals of intellectual motivation, education in the past has been radically【16】with inert ideas. That is the reason why【17】clever women, who have seen much of the world, are in middle life so much the most cultured part of the community. They have been saved from this horrible【18】of inert ideas. Every intellectual revolution which has ever stirred humanity【19】greatness has been a【20】protest against inert ideas.

选项 A、infected
B、influenced
C、instructed
D、endowed

答案A

解析 选项A表示“传染;感染”。根据原文意思:“在过去,教育基本上是受内心思想感染的。”而且作者在这里表达的是一种消极的态度,所以选择“infect”。而选项B“多指对某人的思想、行为、性格等产生的潜移默化的、使之逐渐改变的‘影响’”,选项C“正式用词,强调系统、详细、精心地‘传授’专门化的知识”,“endow with给予,赋予,认为……具有某种特质”均不符合原文意思。
