问题     Culture is activity of thought, and receptiveness to beauty and humane feeling. Scraps of information have【B1】______ to do with it. A【B2】______ well-informed man is the most useless bore on God’s earth. What we should aim at【B3】______ is men who possess both culture and expert knowledge in some【B4】______ direction. Their expert knowledge will give them the ground to start【B5】______, and their culture will【B6】______ them as deep as philosophy and as high as art. We have to remember that the【B7】______ intellectual development is self-development, and that it【B8】______ takes place between the ages of sixteen and thirty. As to training, the most important part is given by mothers【B9】______ the age of twelve.
    In training a child to activity of thought,【B10】______ all things we must be【B11】______ of what I will call "inert ideas" — that is to say, ideas that are merely【B12】______ into the mind without being utilized, or tested, or thrown into【B13】______ combinations.
    In the history of education, the most striking phenomenon is that schools of learning, which at one epoch are【B14】______ with a craze for genius, but in a succeeding generation exhibit merely【B15】______. The reason is that they are overladen with inert ideas.【B16】______ at rare intervals of intellectual motivation, education in the past has been radically infected with inert ideas. That is the reason why uneducated clever women, who have【B17】______ much of the world, are in middle life so much the most cultured part of the community. They have been【B18】______ from this horrible burden of inert ideas. Every intellectual revolution which has【B19】______ stirred humanity into greatness has been a passionate protest【B20】______ inert ideas.
【B7】
选项 A、precious
B、worthy
C、valuable
D、progressive
答案C
解析 本词与上下文的useless，merely，utilized等照应。选项[A]precious(宝贵的，珍贵的)，侧重于“稀少(rare)”，由于原文未涉及“稀少”而侧重于“有用性”，因此[A]不如[C]恰当。选项[B]worthy虽与价值有关，但作development的修饰语不太通顺，而且该词含有诙谐和戏谑的语气。选项[D]progressive(进步的，先进的)显然不符合上下文。
