问题     Most people would agree that, although our age exceeds all
previous ages in knowledge, there has been not corresponding increase             S1.______
in wisdom. But agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define "wisdom"
and considering means of promoting it. There are several factors                  S2.______
that contributes to wisdom. Of there I should put first a sense of                S3.______
proportion: the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a
problem and to attach to each its due weight. This has become more
difficult than it used to owing to the extent and complexity of the spe-          S4.______
cial knowledge required of various kinds of technicians. Suppose, for
example, that you are engaging in research in scientific medicine. The            S5.______
work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your mind. You
have no time to consider the effect what your discoveries or inventions           S6.______
may have outside the field of medicine. You succeed(let us say) as
modern medicine has succeeded, in enormously lowering the infant
death rate, not only in the Europe and America, but also in Asia and              S7.______
Africa. This has the entirely unintended result of making the food
supply inadequate and lowering the standard of life in the parts of the
world that has the greatest populations.                                          S8.______
    Therefore, with every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom
becomes less necessary, for every such increase augments(增强) our                S9.______
capacity for realizing our purposes, and therefore augments our capacity
for evil, unless our purposes are unwise.                                         S10.______
选项
答案not→no
解析 not和no都有否定意义，但not强调“不是”，而no则强调“没有”；no修饰名词，not则修饰形容词或情态动词或助动词。此处corresponding increase为名词性短语，故将not改为no。
