问题     Since, we are told, 80 to 90 percent of all instruction in the typical university is by the lecture method, we should give close attention【C1】______this form of education. There is, I think,【C2】______truth in Patricia Nelson Limerick’s observation that "【C3】______is an unnatural act, an act for which God did not design humans. It is perfectly all right, now and【C4】______, for a human to be possessed by the urge to speak, and to speak【C5】______others remain silent. But to do this 【C6】______, one hour and 15 minutes at a time? I do not believe that this is what the Creator【C7】______humans to do. "
    The strange, almost incomprehensible fact is that many professors, just as they feel【C8】______to write dully, believe that they【C9】______lecture dully. To show enthusiasm is to risk【C10】______unscientific, unobjective; it is to appeal【C11】______the students’ emotions rather than their【C12】______. Thus the ideal lecture is one filled with facts and read with an【C13】______tone.
    The cult(推崇)of lecturing dully, like the cult of writing dully, goes back some years. Edward Shils, recalls the professors he【C14】______at the University of Pennsylvania in his youth. They seemed " a priesthood,【C15】______uneven in their merits but【C16】______in their bearing. Some read from old lecture notes and then haltingly explained the thumb-worn last lines. Others lectured from cards that had【C17】______for years, to judge by the worn edges. The teachers began on time, ended on time, and left the room【C18】______saying a word more to their students, very【C19】______being detained(留住)by questioners. No questions were【C20】______in class, and there were no office hours. "
【C8】

选项 A、obliged
B、dedicated
C、required
D、inquired

答案A

解析 形容词辨义题。这里的feel是一个系动词,其后需要一个形容词。参看选项,都是过去分词作形容词。后文说“believe they should lecture dully.”意思是说“教授们相信他们应该了无生趣地讲授”,可以推断这是教授们自己的选择,并无人要求他们这么做。require“要求”,与此处不符;feel dedicated to“致力于,献身”,to是介词,而不是不定式标志,与此处不符;inquire“询问”,不符合句意。feel obliged意思是“感觉有义务或有责任”,强调主动性,符合句意。本句意为“正如许多教授感到沉闷地写字/书是他们的义务所在,他们相信他们也应该了无生趣地讲授。”
