问题     In a telephone survey of more than 2 000 adults, 21 % said they believed the sun revolved around the earth. An additional 7 % did not know which revolved around【C1】______. I have no doubt that【C2】______all of these people were taught in school that the earth revolved around the sun; they may even have written it【C3】______a test. But they never【C4】______their incorrect mental models of planetary(行星的)motion because their every day observation didn’t support【C5】______their teachers told them: People see the sun "moving" across the sky as morning turns to night, and the earth seems stationary(静止的) 【C6】______that is happening.
    Students can learn the right answers【C7】______heart in class, and yet never combined them with their working models of the world. The objectively correct answer the professor accepts and the【C8】______personal understanding of the world can exist side by side, each unaffected by the other.
    Outside of class, the student continues to use the【C9】______model because it has always worked well in that circumstance. Unless professors address specific errors in students’ personal models of the world, students are not【C10】______to replace them with the correct one.
【C9】

选项 A、private
B、individual
C、personal
D、own

答案C

解析 本题考查近义词的辨别能力。四个选项中,首先可排除D项own(自己的),own必须用在所有格后面,起加强语气的作用,如my own eyes。A项private侧重表示“私人的,私有的”。B项individual意为“个人的,个体的,单独的”,即相对于“集体的”而言;C项personal意为“个人的,本人的”,即关于或属于某个人的、与别人无关的。本句意思是“课堂外,学生继续运用个人的模式,因为这种模式在那种情况里行得通。”所以,C项是最为确切的答案。
