问题     Children are natural-born scientists. They have【C1】______minds, and they aren’t afraid to admit they don’t know something. Most of them,【C2】______, lose this as they get older. They become self-conscious and don’t want to appear stupid. Instead of finding things out for themselves they make【C3】______that often turn out to be wrong.
    So it’s not a case of getting kids interested in science. You just have to avoid killing the【C4】______for learning that they were bom with. It’s no coincidence that kids start deserting science once it becomes formalised. Children naturally have a blurred approach to【C5】______knowledge. They see learning about science or biology or cooking as all part of the same act—it’s all learning. It’s only because of the practicalities of education that you have to start breaking down the curriculum into specialist subjects. You need to hnave specialist teachers who【C6】______what they know. Thus once they enter school, children begin to define subjects and erect boundaries that needn’t otherwise exist.
    Dividing subjects into science, maths English. etc. is something we do for【C7】______. In the end it’s all learning, but many children today【C8】______themselves from a scientific education. They think science is for scientists, not for them.
    Of course we need to specialise【C9】______. Each of us has only so much time on Earth, so we can’t study everything. At 5 years old, our field of knowledge and【C10】______is broad, covering anything from learning to walk to learning to count. Gradually it narrows down so that by the time we are 45, it might be one tiny little corner within science.
A)accidentally I)formulas
B)acquiring J)ignite
C)assumptions K)impart
D)convenience L)inquiring
E)eventually M)passion
F)exclude N)provoking
G)exertion O)unfortunately
H)exploration
【C1】
选项
答案L
解析 该空格位于名词minds之前，谓语动词have之后，故所填词应该是形容词。根据上下文句意，孩子们是天生的科学家，且不害怕承认他们不知道的事情。由此可见，他们有一种求知心或好奇心，inquiring mind意为“好奇心”，符合句意。备选项里只有这一个形容词，故只能填inquiring。
