In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life,a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory   36   course about 20 years ago. 

The professor   37   the lecture hall,placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans(豆),and invited the students to   38   how many beans the jar contained.After    39     shouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin,dry smile,announced the   40   answer, and went on saying,“You have just   41   an important lesson about science.That is:Never     42    your own senses”. 

Twenty years later,the   43    could guess what the professor had in mind.He   44    himself,perhaps,as inviting his students to start an exciting   45   into all unknown world invisible(无形的)to the   46  ,which can be discovered only through scientific   47  .But the seventeen-year-old girl could not accept or even    48    the invitation.She was just    49   to understand the world.And she   50   that her firsthand experience could be the   51  .The professor, however,said that it was   52    . He was taking away her only   53   for knowing and was providing her with no substitute(替代). “I remember feeling small and    54  ,” the  woman says,“and I did the only thing I could do.I   55    the course that afternoon,and I haven’t gone near science since.”

【要点综述】本文是记叙文。二十年前,在第一节理科实验课上,一位教授做了一个实验,这个实验告诉学生们,不要相信自己的判断。正是这个实验让一位妇女以后远离了理科。

36. C 联系下文an important lesson about science我们知道,这是一节理科实验课。

37. D 从空后的placed upon his desk a large jar filled with…我们可以知道,老师走进了教室。

38. B 联系空后的how many beans the jar contained我们可以知道,教授让学生们猜一下,这个坛子能装多少豆子。

39. D 联系空后的shouts of wildly wrong guesses我们知道,学生们喊出了各种错误的推测,教授听了他们喊出的答案。

40. C 联系空前的announced和空后的answer我们知道,教授向学生们公布了正确答案。

41. A 联系空后的an important lesson about science我们知道,教授认为他们学到了一堂非常重要的理科课程。

42. B 学生们的推测都是错误的,因此教授说,“不要相信你们的意识。”

43. D 联系下文But the seventeen-year-old girl could not accept…我们知道,这个妇女能够推测教授心里是怎么想的。

44. C 前文有提示:The professor 37 (marched into) the lecture hall,由此我们可以得出答案。

45. A 联系空后的into the unknown world我们知道,教授的目的是带学生们进行一次激动人心的知识旅行。

46. B 联系后文which can be discovered only through scientific 47 (method)我们知道,这个世界是眼睛看不到的,只有通过科学方法才可以看到。    

47. D 联系前文的invisible to the eye我们知道,这个世界只有通过科学的方法才可以看到。

48. A 联系空前的could not accept我们知道,她不能接受,甚至听到这个邀请。or在这里表达前后为顺接关系,因此其他选项可以排除。

49. B 联系前文的the seventeen-year-old girl我们可以推断,这个小女孩年龄很小,只是刚刚开始认识这个世界。

50. A 空后的her firsthand experience could be the 51   (truth)是她的认识,因此我们选believed。

51. D 联系前文我们知道,教授想告诉学生的是第一手经验并不一定是事情的真相,我们要通过科学实验来验证真相,但是小女孩的想法与之相反。

52. C 联系前文我们可以知道,教授认为小女孩认识世界的方式是错误的。

53. B 显然空前提到的her first-hand experience就是她认识世界的工具。

54. C 联系下文的haven’t gone near science since我们知道,她对理科产生了恐惧。

55. A 联系空后的haven’t gone near science since我们知道,那天下午她就放弃了理科。D有一定干扰性,miss意思是“错过”,因此可以排除。
