问题     Education is one of the key words of our time. A man without an education, many of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances deprived【C1】______ one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities.【C2】______ of the importance of education, modern states "invest" in【C3】______ of learning to get back "interest" in the form of a large group of【C4】______ young men and women who are potential leaders. Education is, with its cycles of instruction so carefully【C5】______ , punctuated by text-books—those purchasable wells of  【C6】______  —what would civilization be like without its benefits?
    So much is certain: that we could have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births—but our spiritual【C7】______ would be different. We would【C8】______ less stress on "facts and figures" and more on a good memory, on applied psychology, and on the【C9】______ of a man to get along with his fellow-citizens. If our educational system were【C10】______ after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form of "college" imaginable. Among the people whom we like to call savages all knowledge【C11】______ by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect everybody is equally【C12】______ for life.
    It is the ideal condition of the "equal part" which only our most progressive forms of modern education try to regain. In primitive cultures the【C13】______ to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding on us all. There are no "illiterates" —if the term can be【C14】______  to people without a script—while our own compulsory school【C15】______ became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1876, and is still non-existent in a number of "civilized" nations. This shows how long it was【C16】______ we deemed it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge【C17】______ by the "happy few" during the past centuries.
    Education in the wilderness is not a matter of monetary means. All are【C18】______ to an equal start. There is none of the hurry, which, in our society, often hampers the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever-present【C19】______ of his parents; therefore the jungles and the savannahs (大草原) know of no "juvenile delinquency." No necessity of making a living away from home results in【C20】______ of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to "buy" an education for his child.
【C2】
选项 A、informed
B、ensured
C、reminded
D、convinced
答案D
解析 convince sb．of…意为“使…相信…，使…信服…”，在此句convinced为过去分词，作modern states的伴随状语。inform sb．of…意为“通知某人…”；remind sb．of…意为“提醒某人…”；ensure意为“保证；确保”。此句指“现代国家由于确信教育的重要性，才向教育机构投资”，故选择D。
