问题    It is commonly believed that in the United States school is where people get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The【C1】________ between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling.
Education has no【C2】________ . It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the【C3】________ learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of informal leaning. The agents of education can【C4】________ from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A(n)【C5】________ conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are【C6】________ in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school and one that should be an integral part of one’s entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific,【C7】________ process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at【C8】________ the same time, take assigned seats, use similar textbooks, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of governments, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the【C9】________ being taught.
For example, high-school students know that they are not likely to【C10】________ out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.
A. formalized       B. accurately    C. figure          D. stretch
E. engaged          F. similarity    G. subject       H. automatic
I. chance          J. range          K. distinction    L. divisional
M. approximately    N. bounds       O. formal
【C5】

选项

答案I

解析上下文题。根据词性，此处填入形容词。注意单词chance既可做名词“机会”，也可为形容词“偶然的”，根据上句education quite often produces surprises“教育时常能给人惊喜”，以及下句中的conversation with a stranger“与陌生人的一次谈话”，可判断此处强调的是非学校教育的偶然性，让人惊喜的地方。句意大致为“与陌生人一次偶然的谈话让你明白自己对他人的宗教几乎一无所知”，故选chance。
