With people swayed by this wrong (2)_____ that there is little use in arguing, either for history or literature, or for poetry or music, or for the arts (3)_____.
With others, there is still faith that any civilization worthy of the name must be (4)_____ in a ceaseless pursuit of truth. Whether truth is (5)_____ through study or through the arts makes no difference. Any pursuit of truth is not only (6)_____; it is the foundation stone of civilization.
The (7)_____ for and reading of history is one of those approaches to truth. It is only ones all the arts and sciences are such (8)_____. All have their place; all are good; and each (9)_____ with the other. They are not airtight compartments. It is only in a few institutions, subjected to (10)_____ misinformation, that events like the Industrial Revolution are (11)_____ entirely to the historians, the social scientists, or the physical scientists. Only within the past hundred years have historians (12)_____ that what people have done in literature and art is a part of their history. Books like Uncle Tom’s Cabin have themselves helped to (13)_____ history.

选项
A、occasion
B、spot
C、plight
D、dilemma
答案
A
解析
occasion"时刻,时节,时候;场合"。根据文章一致性的原则,该词与上文的"episodes"形成一种照应。而选项spot"地点;处所,场所",选项plight"境况,困境,苦境"和选项dilemma"(进退两难的)窘境,困境"均不符合题意。
