It is not surprising,【C1】______the lack of fit between gifted students and their schools, that such students often have little good to say about their school experience. In one study of 400 adults who had achieved【C2】______in all areas of life, researchers found that three-fifths of these individuals either did badly in school or were unhappy in school. Few MacArthur Prize fellows, winners of the MacArthur【C3】______for creative accomplishment, had good things to say about their precollegiate schooling if they had not been placed in advanced programs.
Anecdotal reports support this. Pablo Picasso, Charles Darwin, Mark Twain, Oliver Gold Smith, and William Butler Yeats all【C4】______poorly in school. So did Winston Churchill, who almost failed out of Harrow, an elite British school.
Some of these gifted people may have done poorly in school because then-gifts were not【C5】______. Maybe we can account【C6】______Picasso in this way. But most disliked school not because they lacked ability but because they found school【C7】______and consequently lost interest. Yeats described the lack of fit between his mind and school: "Because I had found it difficult to attend【C8】______ anything less interesting than my own thoughts, I was difficult to teach."
When highly gifted students in any【C9】______talk about what was important to the development of their abilities, they are far more likely to mention their families than their schools or teachers. High-IQ children, in Australia studied by Miraca Gross, had much more positive feelings about their families than their schools. About half of the mathematicians studied by Benjamin Bloom had little good to say about school. They all did well in school and took honors classes when available, and some【C10】______grades.
A. distinctiveness B. given C. on D. distinction
E. Award F. unchallenging G. for H. Reward
I. scholastic J. to K. domain L. skipped
M. disliked N. fared O. provided
【C2】
选项
答案
D
解析
distinction,上下文/词义辨析题。根据下文“Few MacArthur Prize fellows,winners of the MacArthur…had good things to say about their precollegiate schooling…”该词表示“少有成功人士喜欢学校生活”,可见本句意为各行业的成功人士中有四分之三的人在学校并不成功。故可选范围为“distinctiveness,distinction”。但distinctiveness表示“特别,有特色”,强调与众不同。distinction表示“差别,对比;优秀”,突出卓越。故答案为distinction。
