问题     More than 2,000 years ago, the philosopher Socrates
wandered around Athens asking questions, an approach to find【M1】______
truth that thinkers venerated ever since. In modern times, the【M2】______
Socratic method was adapted for use in universities and became
the dominant form of instruction for students learning philosophy
and the law. The most recently national survey on the subject【M3】______
found that 97% of law-school professors use the Socratic method
in first-year classes. Socratic dialogues seem to work for the【M4】______
ancient Greeks. Are they efficient for people today? Recently, a【M5】______
group of researchers decided to find out.
    In a study published in the December 2011 issue of the
journal Mind, Brain, and Education, four cognitive scientists from
Argentina describe what happened when they asked contemporary
high school and college students a series of questions identified to【M6】______
those posed by Socrates. In one of his most famous lessons,
Socrates showed a young slave boy with a square, then led him【M7】______
through a series of 50 questions intended to teach the boy how to
draw the second square with an area twice as large as the first.
Students in the 2011 experiment, led by researcher Andrea Goldin,
gave answers astonishing similar to those offered by Socrates’【M8】______
pupils, even making the same mistakes he made. " Our results【M9】______
show that the Socratic dialogue is built on a strong intuition of
human knowledge and reasoning which persist more than【M10】______
twenty-four centuries after its conception," the researchers write.
Their findings, Goldin and his co-authors add, demonstrate the
existence of "human cognitive universals traversing time and
cultures."
【M5】
选项
答案efficient—effective
解析 词汇错误。上一句提到了苏格拉底的对话式教学方法对古希腊人是有效的，本句要表达的意思应该是“那这种方法对现代人是否有效呢?”此处应强调这种方法的“有效性”而不是“高效性”，故应用effective。
