问题     【C1】______the lack of【C2】______between gifted students and their schools, it is not surprising that such students often have【C3】______good to say about their school experience. In one study of 400 adults who had achieved【C4】______in all areas of life, researchers found that three-fifths of these individuals either did badly in school or were unhappy in school. Few MacArthur Prize fellows, winners of the MacArthur【C5】______for creative accomplishment, had good things to say about their precollegiate【C6】______【C7】______they had not been placed in advanced programs.
    Anecdotal reports support this. Pablo Picasso, Charles Darwin, Mark Twain, Oliver Gold smith, and William Butler Yeats all disliked school. So did Winston Churchill, who almost failed【C8】______Harrow, an elite British school.
    Some of these gifted people【C9】______have done poorly in school because their gifts were not【C10】______. Maybe we can account【C11】______Picasso in this way. But most【C12】______poorly in school not because they lacked ability but because they found school【C13】______and【C14】______lost interest. Yeats described the lack of fit between his mind and school: "Because I had found it difficult to【C15】______anything less interesting than my own thoughts, I was【C16】______to teach."
    When highly gifted students in any【C17】______talk about【C18】______was important to the development of their abilities, they are far more likely to mention their families than their schools or teachers. High-IQ children, in Australia studied by Miraca Gross had much more【C19】______feelings about their families than their schools. About half of the mathematicians studied by Benjamin Bloom had little good to say about school. They all did well in school and took honors classes when available, and some【C20】______grades.
【C19】
选项 A、affirmative
B、optimistic
C、confirmative
D、positive
答案D
解析 上下文及词义辨析题 affirmative(指言语等)表示同意的，意为“是的，肯定的”；optimistic“乐观的，有信心的”；confirmative“确定的，证实的”；positive“正面的，有积极意义的”。根据上下文可知此处指对家庭要比对学校更有感情，故选D。
