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. " [br] 【C2】
选项 A、certain
B、few
C、little
D、much
答案 D
解析 形容词辨义题。此处考查作者在整篇文章中对教授法的态度，文章的第二、三段，作者反复用了dully等词来描述讲授法，可以知道作者对此种方法并不赞成。帕特丽夏·纳尔逊·利默里克的话也是对讲授法的批判，显然与作者的态度相一致。few“少数的”，修饰可数名词的复数，与此处不符；little意为“几乎没有”，与语义不符；certain“一定的，某些”，表示不确定性；much“许多的”，修饰不可数名词，为本题答案。本句意为“我认为特丽夏·纳尔逊·利默里克的话很有道理。”
